- Three Employees Suspected in Theft of Two Pallets of RTX 5090 GPUs
Brazilian police identified three employees of Guarulhos airport as suspects in the theft of two pallets of Zotac GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards valued at about $470,000, according to the original report. The shipment was purchased in the United States by Brazilian hardware importer and distributor Oderço Distribuidora for delivery to a warehouse in Manaus, but disappeared within the airport area. A Brazilian television station later found an OLX listing for a card whose photographed serial number reportedly matched a stolen card; the listing was subsequently deleted. The report says the investigation is ongoing, the three employees remain suspects, and it does not state whether they have been charged or convicted. It also says the number of recovered cards was unconfirmed and that a truck reportedly involved had not been found. NVIDIA denied a separate rumor that it would discontinue the RTX 5090 and redirect GB202 chips to professional graphics cards.

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.

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.
cnBeta · 🔥 0 - DAVA’s Scenes AI Wins NVIDIA Showcase Award
量子位 reported that DAVA Technology’s Scenes AI won the Outstanding Enterprise Award at the 2026 NVIDIA Startup Showcase semifinal event in Suzhou on October 15. The company demonstrated its 34B real-time world model running on a single GeForce RTX 5090, with claimed 720P output at 25 fps. DAVA also reported a 98.2% target-edit success rate, 93.3% character-identity retention, and inference speed three to five times faster than traditional video-diffusion approaches.
量子位（原生 RSS） · 🔥 0 - 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.
cnBeta · 🔥 0 - 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 - Japan RTX 50-series GPU prices run up to 41% above US Amazon listings
Tom's Hardware, citing a Reddit photo of Japanese retail prices, compared them with Amazon US listings and found some RTX 50-series cards 5.66% to 41.1% more expensive before tax, with the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB showing the widest gap at about 41.1%; after an 8.5% sales tax the gap ranged from 3.88% to 30.04%. cnBeta reported Japanese quotes of up to about 205,000 yen (roughly $1,292) for the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and about $749 for the 8GB version, and said the 16GB model was up roughly 66% to 144% from its launch price. Both reports cite memory supply pressure and AI compute demand as background factors; Tom's Hardware also noted unconfirmed reports that Nvidia may halt RTX 5090 production, while cnBeta cautioned that retail quotes vary by store, exchange rate and tax and do not mean official suggested prices rose by the same amount.
Tom’s Hardware · 🔥 0 - 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.
