  1. Video shows RTX 5090 game cards converted into server AI accelerators

    Video footage shared by HKEPC appears to show a Chinese workshop removing GB202 GPUs and GDDR7 memory from retail GeForce RTX 5090 cards and transferring them to custom dual-slot blower-cooled boards for servers. The modified cards are reportedly tested before packaging, while the visible hardware includes PNY, Gigabyte, ASUS and NVIDIA Founders Edition models. Reports claiming thousands of daily conversions, 64GB or 96GB configurations, and effects on global supply remain unverified.

  2. Chinese internet giants order over 3 million Nvidia RTX PRO 5500 workstation GPUs

    cnBeta, citing Reuters, reports that three large Chinese internet companies together ordered more than 3 million Nvidia RTX PRO 5500 workstation GPUs, a potential order value above $35 billion at the roughly $11,400 list price. Total Chinese orders for the card are said to exceed 6 million units, while Nvidia has told partners that global 2027 output may not exceed 3 million and that it may eventually fill only 5% to 10% of ordered volumes. The report says buyers mainly intend the cards for AI inference, since Nvidia's Blackwell-based B300 cannot be sold in China and Hopper H200 requires case-by-case approval, and that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology asked some firms in late September to report planned purchases and uses. The article adds that demand has also lifted channel prices for the gaming-focused RTX 5090 above 50,000 yuan, and that large-scale performance of the RTX PRO 5500, listed on Nvidia's site only in September, still awaits validation.

  3. RTX 5090 vanishes from Nvidia's marketplace as GB202 chips reportedly go to AI cards

    TechRadar reports that Nvidia's own GPU marketplace no longer lists the RTX 5090, with the RTX 5080 now the highest-end card shown there, and that Micro Center is reportedly listing the flagship as "not carried"; major US retailers are said to have no stock, with third-party sellers near $10,000. The piece cites an unverified leaker claim that Nvidia is diverting all GB202 chips to AI-oriented RTX Pro boards, and argues the company is deprioritizing GeForce hardware in favour of AI demand and cloud gaming. Nvidia has announced no discontinuation, and the article notes the RTX 5090 is still mentioned elsewhere on its site, so the effective-discontinuation framing is the author's inference.

  4. Nvidia reportedly halts RTX 5090 production, shifting GB202 capacity to AI GPUs

    According to leakers citing a notice sent to a manufacturing partner, Nvidia has stopped supplying GB202 graphics processors for consumer GeForce RTX 5090-series cards, including the China-only "D" variants, and will use the silicon exclusively for data center and professional graphics cards. The claim is unverified and Nvidia has not commented; typically the company does not respond to rumors. The same reports say the top GeForce card would become a 24GB RTX 5080 while the 16GB RTX 5080 is discontinued. Existing board, distributor and retail inventory means RTX 5090 cards will not vanish immediately, but supply would tighten over time and prices could rise; economically, the same GB202 silicon sells in far more expensive professional and AI parts such as the RTX Pro 5500 and RTX 6000 Pro.
