  1. Nvidia Denies RTX 5090 Discontinuation as Shortages Drive Laptop Price Hikes

    Nvidia denied reports that it has discontinued the RTX 5090, amid renewed speculation about constrained supply for both desktop and laptop variants. XMG said deteriorating procurement conditions, sharply higher GPU prices and reduced replenishment orders have constrained availability, prompting the company to raise the price of the Schenker Key 18 Pro by €250 and warning that other RTX 5090 laptops could see similar or larger increases. TechRadar also cited an unnamed board maker that reportedly could not obtain the GB203 chip and 32GB GDDR7 memory package, although that account remains unverified.

  2. RTX 5090 Discontinuation Rumor Fuels Huaqiangbei Price Surge

    Nvidia denied reports that it had discontinued the GeForce RTX 5090, yet the rumor triggered rapid price changes in China’s Huaqiangbei GPU market. IT之家 reported that RTX 5090 channel prices rose from roughly 30,000 yuan to around 50,000 yuan or as high as 55,000–60,000 yuan, while RTX 5080 and RTX 5060 prices also increased. The report attributed part of the supply pressure to memory makers prioritizing HBM for AI servers, alongside a broader shortage of GDDR7 memory for consumer GPUs.

  3. 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.

  4. RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti prices rise in China amid tighter GDDR7 supply

    NVIDIA partners and retailers in China raised prices for the GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB, according to Wccftech. Board Channels reported that the RTX 5080 16 GB moved from roughly 12,700–13,500 RMB to 14,500–15,000 RMB, while the RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB rose from about 9,000–9,150 RMB to 9,650–9,850 RMB. Wccftech attributed the increases to tighter GDDR7 supply as memory manufacturers prioritize higher-margin HBM for AI markets.

  5. Four RTX 5090 LLM rig melts UK mains plug and socket, 12V-2x6 connectors survive

    A Reddit user posting as u/Zo0x78 reported that the main power plug and wall socket on a four-GPU RTX 5090 LLM workstation melted during tuning, while all four 12V-2x6 connectors were undamaged, as relayed by Wccftech and cnBeta. The rig has 128GB of GDDR7 memory and can run 120B-parameter models with quantization; the four cards draw 2,300W–2,500W at full load and whole-system continuous power is around 2,800W, close to the roughly 3,000W ceiling of a UK 230V 13A socket. Commenters disputed the cause, citing poor plug-to-socket contact or subpar plug or fuse quality, and the owner advised other quad-RTX 5090 users to power-limit their GPUs, while some commenters said 16A or 20A industrial sockets are needed.
