- 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.
TechRadar · 🔥 0 - Bloomberg Intelligence sees cloud gaming at $38B by 2035, consoles fading
Bloomberg Intelligence forecasts that games streamed over the internet will grow into a $38 billion market by 2035 and that the dedicated video-game console may eventually stop being a mass-market product. The research, led by BI analyst Nathan Naidu and reported by Bloomberg on Tuesday, argues AI both cuts streaming costs and supplies the data centers that run it. But the case depends on surplus GPU capacity pushing compute prices down late this decade, which has not happened: The Next Web notes AWS raised GPU prices about 20% in July for reserved capacity, its second rise in six months. BI estimates Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming holds roughly 40% of streaming with about 220 million hours last quarter, sees Nvidia's GeForce Now as technically advantaged and Tencent leading in China, puts Nintendo in the worst position for treating streaming as peripheral, and says Sony is better placed via PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Portal.
Bloomberg Technology · 🔥 0 - Nvidia's October DLSS 5 update doubles model speed, cuts 4K VRAM use by 20%
Nvidia announced an October update to its DLSS 5 neural-rendering model that it says is twice as fast as the current version, a roughly 10x gain since the technology was first shown in March. The company says the model is 24% smaller at about 118 million parameters and uses 20% less VRAM at 4K, halving GPU overhead versus the September release at comparable visual fidelity. Nvidia claims frame-rate gains of up to 1.4x, while TechRadar cites its NBA 2K27 testing showing 30% to 40% improvements. The new model debuts in NBA 2K27 on October 16 and runs on RTX 50-series GPUs, RTX Spark laptops and GeForce NOW; Hogwarts Legacy gets support on November 5, with Where Winds Meet described as coming in the near future. Nvidia also introduced a faster Frame Generation performance mode called Preset C, which replaces the AI model used for optical flow with a lighter algorithm and is claimed to be up to 35% faster on the RTX 5060, though Nvidia acknowledges minor image-quality trade-offs and TechRadar reports some users see added glitching. The Verge notes that DLSS 5's facial changes in Hogwarts Legacy appear far more subtle than in the March preview.
