Nvidia reportedly insists the RTX 5090 isn't dead despite severe shortages and removed listings at multiple retailers
Nvidia states that RTX 5090 isn't discontinued, only that supply is constrained — and yet the card is effectively gone from storefronts
Last week, gamers were left disappointed when rumors surfaced that Nvidia might discontinue the RTX 5090 due to severe shortages. However, senior VP Jeff Fisher has now stated that the card is not discontinued and will continue to be shipped. This comes after numerous websites reached out to Nvidia for an official statement, but received no response.
The Taiwanese websites 4Gamers and SJTV report that Fisher made these claims in a post-event interview, citing a constrained supply chain but emphasizing that Nvidia is doing everything possible to get the product to market. Fisher also reiterated that without GeForce, Nvidia wouldn't be where it is today, and the AI market wouldn't exist as it does now.
Retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg have listed the RTX 5090, often at inflated prices from third-party sellers. The card is notably absent from Nvidia's own marketplace and Micro Center. While some may see these statements as a strategic move to maintain consumer interest, the lack of new GPU launches from Nvidia, Intel, and AMD suggests a continued focus on AI development.
