NVIDIA has officially confirmed that the GeForce RTX 5090 graphics processor has not been discontinued, addressing recent industry speculation. The company clarified that allocations for the GB202 graphics die remain active for all add-in board partners.
The statement follows reports from European and Asian distributors suggesting a pause in purchase orders for GB202 silicon and 32GB GDDR7 memory kits. However, TSMC wafer fabrication lines for the processor remain operational and inventory continues to ship.
This stability is critical as third-party integrators are currently reconfiguring retail RTX 5090 cards into dual-slot blower assemblies for AI compute servers. Partners like ASUS and MSI will continue supplying retail channels with the high-end hardware.
