Nvidia Reportedly Halts RTX 5090 Production, Factory Notice Claims

Nvidia has reportedly stopped manufacturing the GeForce RTX 5090, including the D variants produced for the Chinese market. The claim comes from a leaked notice from an unnamed factory, shared by leaker @hongxing2020 and reported by Tom's Hardware.

Leaker @Zed__Wang reportedly backed the claim, saying the GB202 chip behind the RTX 5090 will only go into data center and professional cards from now on. According to the leaked notice, the highest-end GeForce graphics card going forward will be the RTX 5080 24GB, while the RTX 5080 16GB version will be discontinued.

Nvidia has not announced the change and had not responded to Tom's Hardware's request for comment. The company has made no public statement on the status of the RTX 5090.

Memory supply pressures

An RTX 50 Super refresh, rumored to include a 24GB RTX 5080 Super, has reportedly been delayed by memory supply constraints, according to Tom's Hardware. Rumors put the arrival of Nvidia's Rubin-based RTX 60-series at late 2027 at the earliest, and possibly 2028.

The industry-wide memory shortage has already affected other hardware. In October 2025, GamesIndustry.biz reported that Sony could delay the PS6 to 2028 or 2029 because of the crisis, while Valve said it is limited by memory capacity and Xbox warned memory costs would affect Project Helix's pricing and availability.
