Leakers report that Nvidia has stopped producing the GeForce RTX 5090 to steer its GB202 chips toward professional and AI data center cards. Nvidia has not confirmed the claim, so it remains a leak.
Hardware leakers MEGAsizeGPU and hongxing2020 report that Nvidia has stopped producing the GeForce RTX 5090, redirecting its GB202 GPU die to professional and AI data center products. Nvidia has not confirmed any of it.
What the leakers say
The claim traces back to a factory notice dated around October 10, 2026. According to the leakers, the notice signals the end of RTX 5090 production.
Under the reported plan, all future GB202 silicon would go into RTX Pro cards, Nvidia's workstation products. The notice also reportedly points to a new 24 GB RTX 5080, which would take the top slot in Nvidia's consumer lineup if the 5090 disappears.
However, as of October 12, 2026, Nvidia had not confirmed the halt. Many outlets have also noted that Nvidia has denied similar rumors before.
The price gap behind the move
The RTX 5090 launched in January 2025 at $1,999. Secondary market prices now exceed $5,000, with some listings reaching $9,500, driven by rising demand for AI inference.
Meanwhile, the RTX Pro 6000 can sell for approximately $15,000 and offers up to 96 GB of memory.
What it means for buyers
If production has truly stopped, the existing pool of RTX 5090 cards becomes finite. Supply constraints are expected given the heavy demand for high-end GPUs in AI applications, and those constraints may push prices higher still.
Until Nvidia addresses the report directly, this remains a leak backed by a reported factory notice, not an official product decision.
