Nvidia RTX 5090 Is Reportedly Ending Production

T The Nvidia RTX 5090 may be approaching the end of its production run, and it is not being replaced by anything using the same silicon. Hardware leaker MEGAsizeGPU posted Saturday that Nvidia has halted new GB202 chip allocations to the consumer GeForce RTX 5090, with all future GB202 production now reserved exclusively for the RTX Pro professional workstation lineup.

A second leaker, hongxing2020, posted what appeared to be a factory notification confirming Nvidia will no longer sell any RTX 5090 model, including its China-market D variants. Nvidia has not confirmed any of this. The math explains the decision.

GB202 is Nvidia's largest Blackwell chip. On the consumer side it powers the RTX 5090 at 32GB of GDDR7 and retails around $2,000. On the professional side the same chip powers the RTX Pro 6000 at 96GB of memory and the recently unveiled RTX Pro 5500 at 84GB, both selling for four to five times more.

AI companies are buying these cards in bulk. Redirecting every GB202 that was going to gamers toward enterprise workstations is straightforwardly more profitable. Existing RTX 5090 cards already built from GB202 chips could keep trickling through retail for some time, but prices are expected to rise once that inventory dries up.

A leaker also claims an RTX 5080 with 24GB is coming to serve as the new consumer flagship, but it uses a different and smaller chip entirely.
