German GPU retail crash
Week 12 GPU retail sales in Germany plunged 82.3% vs. 2023 — AMD sold 330 units (48.9%, ASP €593) and Nvidia 305 units (45.2%, ASP €834), with the RX 9070 XT and RX 9060 XT both shifting 150 units and the RTX 5060 Ti at 80 units (x.com). RDNA 4 and Nvidia’s Blackwell architectures dominated the SKU mix amid a market slump (x.com).
The weekly sell‑out tables driving this report are aggregated from Mindfactory’s public sales feed by the X user TechEpiphany and then cited by outlets such as TechPowerUp and 3DCenter. (techpowerup.com) (3dcenter.org) Mindfactory recorded just 675 GPU units in calendar week 12 of 2026, versus 3,815 units in the same week of 2023, a collapse noted in industry reporting. (3dcenter.org) Across calendar weeks 9–11, TechEpiphany’s aggregation shows AMD taking 55.6% of unit sales at Mindfactory, with the RX 9070 XT at 25.6% share and the RX 9060 XT at 20.3%, while Nvidia’s RTX 5080 held about 11.8% in that span. (techpowerup.com) Reporting and analysts point to constrained stock and higher street prices plus Nvidia’s SKU-prioritization — notably increased supply focus on RTX 50-series midrange SKUs like the 5060/5070 families — as factors behind weaker retail demand. (wccftech.com) (techpowerup.com) European list prices for the Radeon RX 9070 XT were reported around €800 in recent market checks, a price point observers say alters buyer calculus versus competing Nvidia cards. (techspot.com) Mindfactory’s figures are a DACH‑region retailer snapshot used as a bellwether for enthusiast demand, and outlets caution the data reflect a single-channel view rather than full national market share.
