Why Sell You an RTX 5090 When AI Pays Nvidia More?

A leaked factory notice says Nvidia has stopped selling the RTX 5090's GB202 chip to GeForce card makers so it can go into pro cards that sell for $15,000 or more, and a rumored 24GB RTX 5080 would replace it as the top gaming card. What you'll learn: What the leaked factory notice says: no more GB202 chips for GeForce partners, covering every RTX 5090 model including the China 'D' versions Why the rumored RTX 5080 24GB can't match the 5090: 10,752 CUDA cores versus 21,760 and a narrower 256-bit memory bus How the RTX Pro 6000, built on the same GB202 chip, went from $8,565 to a $16,000 peak, about an 87% rise in sixteen months How GDDR7 and HBM shortages at Samsung and SK Hynix are pushing up GPU prices, including AMD's GDDR6 price increase from October 1 What is still unconfirmed: Tom's Hardware got no reply from Nvidia, another report says Nvidia insists 5090 production continues, and existing stock could keep the card on sale 📌 What You'll See: Nvidia reportedly halts GeForce RTX 5090 production in favor of AI data center and professional GPUs SOURCE: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-compo... 🚨 Why It Matters If the leak is right, Nvidia is moving its largest Blackwell chip, GB202, out of a $1,999 gaming card and into RTX Pro cards that earn several times more, which removes the most capable consumer card for running AI at home. The same logic could apply to the RTX 6090, and the memory squeeze behind it is already raising prices on Radeon cards, laptops and consoles.
