GoKawiilLeakers claim Nvidia will discontinue RTX 5090, shift GB202 chips to AI cards
Unverified leaks from sources MEGAsizeGPU and Hongxing2020 claim Nvidia will stop producing the GeForce RTX 5090 and redirect all GB202 chip supply toward its RTX Pro Blackwell-based professional and data-center cards. Hongxing2020 says a factory notice points to a replacement 24GB RTX 5080 model, with China-specific RTX 5090 'D' variants also reportedly affected. Nvidia has not confirmed or denied any of these claims.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
If accurate, this would suggest Nvidia sees far greater profit in AI-focused hardware, where RTX Pro cards can sell for tens of thousands of dollars compared with the RTX 5090's price of a few thousand. The move could signal gaming GPUs becoming a lower priority relative to AI accelerators, though this remains speculative until Nvidia comments officially.

- GB202 chip supply would reportedly shift entirely to RTX Pro Blackwell AI/workstation cards
