According to leaked factory notices cited by Tom’s Hardware, NVIDIA has reportedly halted production of GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards and is reallocating GB202 chips exclusively to data center GPU products and professional GPUs. This notice, corroborated on social media by graphics card market insiders, indicates that the RTX 5080 24GB could become the company’s high-end mainstream gaming GPU, replacing the RTX 5090 as its flagship product.
This alleged change reflects NVIDIA’s strategy of maximizing margins by allocating its limited chip supply to higher-priced professional products. The company’s RTX Pro 5500, which has the same number of CUDA cores — 21,760 — as the RTX 5090 but includes 84GB of GDDR7 memory, along with the RTX 6000 Pro, which sells for over $15,000, offer significantly greater revenue potential than consumer cards.
