RTX 5090 availability in question

Nvidia has stated that its RTX 5090 graphics card is not discontinued but is becoming less available, according to recent reports. However, industry insiders and some of Nvidia’s AIB partners suggest a different reality.

RTX 5090 removed from Nvidia’s store

The RTX 5090, Nvidia’s highest-end consumer graphics card and a popular choice in the AI sector, has already been removed from Nvidia’s American online store. This move has raised concerns about its future availability.

Supply chain issues for RTX 5090

According to information uncovered by Roman Hartung, also known as der8auer, and reported by VideoCardz, some of Nvidia’s AIB partners can no longer order the GB202 GPUs and the 32 GB GDDR7 memory kits needed to produce the RTX 5090. This suggests a significant disruption in the supply chain for the card.

AIB partners unable to order components

Nvidia’s AIB partners, including Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, and Zotac, typically order GPUs and VRAM kits to manufacture their own versions of the RTX 5000. If Nvidia no longer accepts orders for the components needed for the RTX 5090, the card can no longer be produced or sold.

Nvidia denies end-of-life status

Industry sources from der8auer report that Nvidia has not officially declared the RTX 5090 as end-of-life, and it still appears to be in production. However, Nvidia has confirmed to Hartung that it will continue to sell the card despite production constraints.

Long-term unavailability expected

Roman Hartung has also contacted manufacturers of graphics card cooling systems, who have revised their forecasts for 2027. Both manufacturers suggest that the RTX 5090 may not be available in the long term, indicating a potential end to its production.
