Nvidia has denied rumors that the GeForce RTX 5090 was discontinued. Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of Personal Computing, told Taiwanese media during the RTX Spark launch event in Taipei on October 16 that the flagship card continues in production and will be shipped.
What happened?
Recent rumors from leakers and reports on GB202 chip allocation suggested Nvidia was ending RTX 5090 production to prioritize RTX Pro professional cards and AI accelerators. Fisher responded directly: supply chain capacity is constrained, but the company is doing everything possible to bring the product to market. He emphasized that the RTX 5090 is an extremely important product and that Nvidia will continue shipments.
The statement was reported by 4Gamers and corroborated by Taiwan's Central News Agency. Fisher also stressed the historical importance of the GeForce line to Nvidia, noting that the CUDA ecosystem, the foundation of its AI success, originated from the gaming segment.
Why it matters
In practice, the card remains nearly impossible to find at MSRP. The original price is $1,999, but marketplace listings on Amazon have reached about $8,500, and retailers such as Micro Center have marked models as "Not Carried". Nvidia has removed the 5090 from parts of its official marketplace.
The situation reflects global pressure on memory and manufacturing capacity, with AI hardware demand diverting resources from the consumer market. Fisher acknowledged the constraints but insisted shipments continue.
For gamers and enthusiasts, this means the Blackwell flagship remains on the official roadmap, even if real-world availability stays limited in the short term. Sources: 4Gamers, Central News Agency, Tom's Hardware and VideoCardz coverage.
