Key information
NVIDIA has officially addressed speculation regarding the discontinuation of the GeForce RTX 5090. Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of the company's personal computing business, confirmed on October 16 that the rumors are false, stating that production remains active.
The rumors originated from claims that NVIDIA had ceased allocating GB202 silicon to the RTX 5090, compounded by the card's disappearance from the official marketplace and retail shelves. Fisher clarified that while the supply chain faces constraints, the company is working to bring products to market.
Fisher acknowledged that the current supply crunch is a global industry issue. He noted that while the RTX 5090 has not been discontinued, he mentioned the existence of other chip variants, though he did not clarify if these impact current board partner allocations.
Availability remains limited, with the card rarely found at its $1,999 MSRP. Third-party listings on platforms like Amazon and Newegg have reached prices exceeding $8,000, a trend expected to persist due to the acknowledged supply limitations.
