**AMD cards have bigger store gaps than Nvidia right now**
This surprised me. The largest cross-store gaps in my current data are all AMD (Chart https://imgur.com/a/4QuHGBU ):
* Sapphire Pulse RX 9070: 589€ (Alternate) vs 799€ (LDLC) - 210€ gap (35%) * Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT: 669€ (Alternate) vs 879€ (LDLC) - 210€ gap (31%)
For comparison the biggest Nvidia gaps are running 15-20%. AMD pricing across EU stores is noticeably more fragmented right now.
**The RTX 5090 gap**
The ASUS TUF RTX 5090 is 3,599€ on Megekko (NL) and 4,049€ on Alternate (DE) - 450€ gap on the same card, both in stock.
**Biggest drops in the last 7 days**
Mid-range cards are still softening:
* ASUS Prime RTX 5070 - Alternate: dropped 63€ (-9.5%) now at 609€ * Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 5070 - Alternate: dropped 53€ (-7.7%) now at 639€ * ASUS ROG Strix RTX 5070 Ti - Azerty: dropped 65€ (-5.0%) now at 1,249€
If you're waiting on a 5070 or 5070 Ti the trend is in your favor.
**Which store wins after 22 days?**
Out of 46 products tracked right now:
* Alternate.de : cheapest on most Nvidia cards * Azerty.nl : consistently better for AMD RX 9000 series * LDLC/Coolblue: almost never cheapest
