Nvidia recently announced that in the first five weeks following the release of its RTX 50-series graphics cards, it managed to sell twice as many units compared to the RTX 40-series during the same timeframe. This news comes amid concerns surrounding the pricing of its products and market competition.

Some factors contributing to these sales include:

• The introduction of multiple models within a short period, including the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, which were launched at higher volumes.
• The comparison with the RTX 40-series is notable as it only had two models launched in its first five weeks, making the sales figures of the 50-series look particularly impressive.

While these numbers present a promising picture, Nvidia’s claims warrant a closer look, especially considering the broader implications in a market that has recently experienced challenges.
