NVIDIA Denies RTX 5090 EOL, Says $5,000-Plus GPU Will Keep Shipping

Summary

  • Jeff Fisher, NVIDIA’s senior vice president, told Taiwanese media the RTX 5090 has not been discontinued and remains a core product that will continue shipping.
  • The denial answers recent reports that NVIDIA had ended supply of the flagship Blackwell gaming GPU and might shift the GB202 die toward RTX PRO products instead.
  • Fisher still acknowledged severe supply constraints, underscoring why the RTX 5090 has become hard to find and why prices have climbed above $5,000 in many regions.
  • That shortage has fueled confusion after the card disappeared from NVIDIA’s marketplace and major retailers including Micro Center removed it from shelves, leaving open whether the issue is production, allocation or broader supply-chain disruption.
