Nvidia may be discontinuing its top-tier GeForce gaming GPU, the RTX 5090, as the company prioritizes AI chips, according to leaked information. The GeForce RTX 5090, released in January 2025, is reportedly being phased out due to higher profits from data center AI accelerators. Leakers confirm that all GB202 chip supplies will be dedicated to constructing new RTX Pro Blackwell-based models.
A replacement, the GeForce RTX 5080, is rumored to boast a massive 24GB VRAM frame buffer. However, these claims remain unverified and speculative. The GeForce RTX 5090, which sells for thousands of dollars, is positioned as hardware for extreme gaming setups and high-resolution displays, despite being financially out of reach for most gamers.
Its replacement, the RTX 5080, could potentially become the retail version of Nvidia's next-generation Blackwell Super GeForce card.
