Whispers are growing into a roar about a significant increase in Nvidia RTX 509 0 stock. But just as the green team gets ready to flood the market, AMD is preparing to launch their Radeon RX 9070 series. The question is… Will AMD be able to compete? For months, getting your hands on an RTX 5090 has felt like winning the lottery. Launch day saw the cards disappear faster than free pizza at a tech conference… lol! But the tides are turning! Rumor has it that Nvidia is cranking up production of its GB202 GPU, which powers the RTX 5090. According to the X leaker MEGAsizeGPU, the supply will soon be “stupidly high,” leaving scalpers to “cry so hard”. What’s driving this sudden surge? Apparently, demand for Nvidia’s Blackwell B200 AI GPU hasn’t been as high as anticipated. Rather than let those chips gather dust, Nvidia is repurposing them to create more RTX 5090s. But Nvidia isn’t the only player in this high-stakes game. AMD is gearing up to launch their Radeon RX 9070 series, poised to challenge Nvidia’s dominance. While official details are scarce, early performance leaks suggest the RX 9070 and RTX 5070 families will be neck-and-neck in raw performance. AMD may even have an upper hand in raster performance and overall value, if pricing rumors are to be believed. AMD’s RX 9070 XTX, sporting 32GB of memory, is also slated for release later this year.
The Gaming Battlefield
So, how will this competition play out in the real world? Here are a few potential scenarios:
- High-Refresh Rate Gaming: Both the RTX 5090 and RX 9070 series promise to deliver buttery-smooth frame rates at high resolutions, perfect for competitive gamers and enthusiasts who demand the best visual experience.
- Ray Tracing Showdown: Nvidia has traditionally held an edge in ray tracing performance, but AMD has been steadily closing the gap. The RX 9070 series could provide a compelling alternative for gamers who want to experience ray-traced visuals without breaking the bank.
- Content Creation Powerhouse: If you’re a video editor, 3D artist, or other content creator, both Nvidia and AMD offer features and optimizations tailored to your workflow. The choice may come down to personal preference and specific software compatibility.
The Waiting Game: A Few Words of Caution
While the prospect of increased RTX 5090 stock is exciting, it’s worth exercising a bit of caution. Remember the reports about melting power cables? The RTX 5090 has its own set of issues too. A recent power supply development saw damage to the power connector. It would be wise to wait until Nvidia officially acknowledges the issue with melting cables before grabbing one. Initial analysis suggests it is a hardware fault. Hopefully, new RTX 5090 batches will come with the necessary protections baked in.
Conclusion
The GPU market is heating up, and that’s great news for gamers. With Nvidia poised to flood the market with RTX 5090s, and AMD ready to strike back with their RX 9070 series, we’re looking at a potential price war and a wealth of options for gamers looking to upgrade their rigs. So, what’s the bottom line? Keep an eye on those restock notifications, compare performance benchmarks, and remember to stay frosty when making your purchasing decision.

Samsung Galaxy A06 has pretty much basic specifications. One of the missing specs is eSIM support . If you are looking for a smartphone that supports eSIM built-in, this guy does not. However, if you do need to travel internationally and need to use a travel eSIM, there is a way to do so.
For example, I currently have two eSIM profiles installed on my Samsung Galaxy A06 and they work well. Pretty much what you need is what you call an eSIM card. It is a SIM card that allows you to download and install eSIM profiles to a non-eSIM phone. I have one here from 5Ber. There are other eSIM card providers. You can look them up on your favorite search engine.
An eSIM card looks like a regular SIM card. There is a SIM card ejector in the pack as well. You extract the SIM card and insert that in the phone. Next, you have to download the companion app to the eSIM card. In this case, I am using a 5ber eSIM card, so I downloaded the 5ber mobile app from Google Play Store. You have to register to use the app and then sign in.
The next task is to buy an eSIM plan from a provider – there are many of them available and you can run a search on the Web to find one that meets your needs. The 5ber app also has a section that where you can buy an eSIM plan from a catalogue of providers. After buying an eSIM plan, download and install it from the homepage of the 5ber app.
Once the eSIM profile installed and activated, the app will switch you to the SIM card manager section of the phone’s Settings. You should see the eSIM there. Next, find the setting to enable data roaming. It is under Connections -> Mobil enetworks. Tap the toggle to enable it and your Samsung Galaxy A06 will connect to the Internet via the eSIM data plan that your purchased.
eSIM cards like 5ber and others are designed to let you install and use travel eSIM data plans on on-eSIM phones. Do check the provider’s website or documentation for supported devices. This is because not all phone brands are supported. I tried the 5ber card in the Phantom V Flip and it did not work. So, be sure to check for device compatibility before buying one. This is true for other eSIM card providers as well.
