RTX 5090 not dead, says Nvidia—but it’s mysteriously vanished from the company’s official marketplace
Nvidia has denied reports that production of its flagship RTX 5090 graphics card has been halted, despite recent supply chain rumors. Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of Nvidia’s GeForce business unit, addressed speculation during an event in Taipei that the company had shifted manufacturing focus away from the RTX 5090 to prioritize RTX Pro data center GPUs instead.
Fisher stated that while the supply chain faces capacity constraints, Nvidia remains committed to bringing the RTX 5090 to market. He confirmed that production has not been discontinued and that the company will continue shipping the card, emphasizing this point as important to the company’s plans. He also noted that multiple variants of the RTX 5090 chip are in production.
The denial comes as the RTX 5090 has mysteriously become unavailable on Nvidia’s official marketplace, raising questions among consumers and industry observers about its actual availability and production status. This situation echoes previous instances of high-demand Nvidia hardware becoming difficult to locate following major releases. The constrained supply chain that Fisher referenced aligns with broader semiconductor industry challenges that have affected GPU availability in recent years.
