   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.

   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.
