Nvidia are abandoning their RTX 5090 graphics cards in order to focus on AI dev friendly RTX Pro ones, leaker claims

Nvidia, a company known for its obsession with artificial intelligence, is reportedly shifting its production away from high-end consumer graphics cards like the RTX 5090. This according to a leaker with a history of accurate leaks. If true, this move marks the latest example of gaming technology firms prioritizing revenue from generative AI developers and data centers over regular PC users.

Leaker MEGAsizeGPU, who accurately predicted Nvidia's decision to combine Ti and Super models into one GPU, claims that GB202 GPU dies are now being directed towards RTX Pro cards instead of the 5090s. Nvidia has not yet confirmed this shift. The RTX Pro cards are designed to accelerate professional AI, graphics, rendering, and compute workloads.

From architectural and industrial design to complex scientific visualizations and AI tasks like fine-tuning large language models, the Nvidia RTX Pro platform is the core of the world's most powerful and efficient professional computing solutions. As AI agents take on more tasks, RTX Pro can run them locally and securely, automating repetitive tasks, compressing iteration cycles, and accelerating demanding enterprise workloads.

This move by Nvidia, driven by the GenAI industry's focus on data centers, could make it even harder for regular consumers to access the hardware they desire. The memory crisis, exacerbated by chip makers prioritizing AI-friendly hardware, has caused prices for RAM, SSDs, and graphics cards to skyrocket. Companies like Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix have been accused of price fixing in a US lawsuit, and the situation is likely to persist for at least another year.
