NVIDIA Denies RTX 5090 Discontinuation Rumors, But Admits Supply Is Still Constrained

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 has become difficult to find, which has eventually fueled speculation that the company has ended production of the said GPU. However, NVIDIA has now pushed back against those claims. The company says its flagship gaming graphics card remains important, although supply constraints continue to affect availability.

NVIDIA denies RTX 5090 production has ended

The latest rumor was served by hardware leaker MEGAsizeGPU, originally Zed Wang, who posted on X that future supplies of NVIDIA’s GB202 GPU would be reserved exclusively for RTX PRO products. The GB202 chip powers the GeForce RTX 5090 and professional graphics cards.

Redirecting future supplies toward workstation products could explain the reported shortage, but the leaker’s claim initially remained unconfirmed. NVIDIA has now offered a different account. According to a report by 4Gamers, GeForce senior vice president Jeff Fisher addressed the rumors during an event in Taipei (via PC Gamer).

Fisher said the RTX 5090 was not discontinued. He acknowledged that supply chain capacity remains constrained, adding that NVIDIA is doing everything it can to get the product onto the market.

RTX 5090 availability remains a major problem

Despite NVIDIA’s statement, finding its flagship graphics card at its original $1,999 launch price remains difficult. Several retailers have reported limited availability, while some listings have disappeared entirely. NVIDIA’s own marketplace has also reportedly stopped displaying the RTX 5090. That has added further confusion, although missing retail listings alone do not prove production has ended. That matters because limited production, low inventory, and official discontinuation are three different things. NVIDIA’s latest comments support the first two concerns but reject the third.

Could RTX PRO GPUs still affect gaming supply?

Professional graphics cards offer NVIDIA access to the workstation and AI markets, where demand for powerful GPUs remains substantial. However, the available evidence does not establish exactly how NVIDIA allocates every GB202 chip. For now, the RTX 5090 remains part of NVIDIA’s product lineup. Only time will tell whether the company can improve supply and make its flagship GPU easier to purchase at reasonable prices.
