Nvidia may not have discontinued the RTX 5090, but one AIB partner says it can't get hold of the parts required to make the card
And RTX 5090s weren't cheap before.
Nvidia's RTX 5090 has been a topic of speculation, as the card was rumored to be discontinued last month, only to be confirmed by Nvidia as not being discontinued. However, AIB partners who design and manufacture the RTX 50 series graphics cards are now stating that they cannot obtain the necessary components to create the card.
According to an Nvidia AIB partner, they are unable to purchase the GB202 GPU together with the 32 GB GDDR7 memory as a complete set. They also express uncertainty about whether ordering will be possible in the future, as previous backorder options with Nvidia are no longer available. This inability to secure the required GPU and memory to produce the RTX 5090 is making it seem like the card is discontinued for many partners.
Nvidia maintains that the card has not been discontinued, but acknowledges that supply chain limitations have resulted in a constrained output. The company's German branch emphasizes that they will continue to ship the RTX 5090, which is crucial. Despite its prohibitive price and difficulty in finding it at reasonable rates, the RTX 5090 has become increasingly scarce and unlikely to be found at a good price in the near future.
