Overview
- Leakers and multiple hardware outlets published a factory notice on Monday saying Nvidia has stopped manufacturing the GeForce RTX 5090 and will redirect its GB202 chip to professional and data‑center products.
- The reports name leakers MEGAsizeGPU and hongxing2020 as sources and say the change affects RTX 5090 variants sold in China as well as other markets, but Nvidia has not confirmed the claims.
- The same notices and follow-up reporting say Nvidia plans to elevate a rumored RTX 5080 with 24GB of VRAM as the top consumer GeForce SKU, with Q1 2027 floated as a possible release window but not confirmed.
- Industry analysts and outlets note the financial logic for the move because RTX Pro and server cards sell for far higher prices, and if production has stopped existing RTX 5090 stock would be finite and likely push resale and retail prices higher.
- The story builds on a longer memory shortage and production reshuffle for the RTX 50 series and the key item to watch is formal confirmation from Nvidia or its board partners and any official timeline for the 5080 24GB rollout.
