In the pre-GDC briefing, Nvidia confirmed that over 90% of gamers that use RTX 50 cards and the Nvidia app turn on RTX features. Likewise, 90% of these gamers also use ray tracing since the new lineup is much better at handling the intense visual improvements.

Additionally, many reports have suggested that most  RTX 50 variants have suffered from low stocks, but the figures suggest Nvidia has shipped double the amount of RTX 40. This can be attributed to more variants releasing this generation in a tighter time frame.

Despite all these positive figures, many reports have suggested that some RTX 50xx GPUs are shipping with missing ROPS, including RTX 5090, 5070 Ti, and 5080.

Despite Nvidia’s claim of high supply, RTX 50xx cards have been suffering from stock issues.

Some variants in the 50 series have been criticized for not offering significant upgrades compared to the 40 cards, suggesting that Nvidia is more focused on software improvements in this generation. The 92% of gamers now relying on DLSS in games further reflects this direction.

Do you think using DLSS is nearly essential to getting the full capabilities of RTX 50 series cards, or is it merely a marketing gimmick? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
