German retail supplier allegedly rationing RTX 5070 GPUs — more powerful Nvidia graphics cards are completely out of stock

A European PC retailer shared an email from their supplier indicating a limit of five units per Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU and unavailability of higher models due to market conditions. The global memory and storage shortage, driven by AI infrastructure demands, has led to significant price hikes for memory modules and SSDs. Nvidia's decision to no longer supply VRAM with GPU chips to board partners has further impacted GPU availability, especially for high-performance models. Japanese retailers have also implemented GPU rationing measures, with some halting PC orders until 2026 due to the ongoing memory shortage.
