Introduction
Nvidia's most powerful gaming card may be headed for the exit. The company has stopped producing the GeForce RTX 5090, according to reports from hardware leakers MEGAsizeGPU and hongxing2020.Background
The RTX 5090 was launched in January 2025 at a retail price of $1,999. Secondary market prices now exceed $5,000, driven by rising demand for AI inference.The Plan
Under the reported plan, all future GB202 silicon would go into RTX Pro cards, built for professionals and increasingly bought for AI workloads.Implications
If production has truly stopped, the existing pool of RTX 5090 cards becomes finite, and supply constraints are expected to push prices higher still. The rumored 24 GB RTX 5080 could offer some relief to enthusiasts.Conclusion
Until Nvidia addresses the report directly, this remains a leak backed by a reported factory notice, not an official product decision.#Nvidia#AI#GPU#US#Crypto
