adminRTX 5090 production may have ended, according to claims attributed to a leaked factory notice. If accurate, the reported change would affect the GeForce lineup’s flagship model, including versions intended for the Chinese market. Nvidia has not confirmed the information, so the claim should be treated as unverified rather than an official product announcement.
What the RTX 5090 production report claims
The alleged factory notice was shared by leaker @hongxing2020. It reportedly says Nvidia will stop manufacturing all RTX 5090 models, including the D variants. The same message names an RTX 5080 with 24GB of memory as the highest-end GeForce card going forward and says production of the RTX 5080 16GB will be discontinued.
A second leaker, @Zed__Wang, reportedly supported the claim. According to that account, the GB202 chip used in the RTX 5090 would be reserved for data center and professional graphics products. These posts offer an explanation for the rumored change, but they do not independently confirm Nvidia’s manufacturing plans.
Practical takeaway: Anyone considering a graphics card purchase should check current availability and specifications with retailers, and should not assume that a leak means a model has officially been discontinued.
Has Nvidia confirmed the reported change?
No public confirmation is included in the reports. Nvidia has not announced that RTX 5090 production is ending, and the company had not provided a response to a request for comment at the time the claim was reported. Until the company makes a statement, details about production, regional models, and the future GeForce lineup remain uncertain.
This distinction matters because manufacturing rumors can describe a temporary supply adjustment, a change in allocation, or a lasting product decision. The leaked notice does not establish which situation applies, nor does it provide a timeline for any possible changes.
Memory shortages may affect future graphics cards
A refreshed RTX 50 series, sometimes referred to as an RTX 50 Super refresh, has also been rumored. Reports have suggested that it could include a 24GB RTX 5080 Super, but that launch may be delayed because of constraints on memory supplies. This remains a rumor, not a confirmed product schedule.
Memory availability has reportedly affected other hardware plans as well. Sony could delay the PS6 to 2028 or 2029, while Valve has said that memory capacity is a limitation. Xbox has also warned that memory costs could influence Project Helix pricing and availability. These examples show why component supply can affect both product timing and what buyers may pay, though they do not confirm a specific change to Nvidia’s plans.
Buying tip: If you need a GPU soon, compare cards that are actually in stock and assess their memory capacity against the applications and games you use. For a planned upgrade, wait for official specifications and pricing before making decisions based on an unconfirmed refresh.
What to expect from Nvidia’s next GPU generation
Rumors place Nvidia’s Rubin-based RTX 60-series no earlier than late 2027, with 2028 also mentioned as a possibility. Nvidia has not confirmed those dates. A long gap between generations is therefore only speculation, and buyers should avoid treating rumored launch windows as a firm roadmap.
For now, the central point is that RTX 5090 production has reportedly stopped, but the claim remains unverified. Nvidia’s announcement, if one follows, will be the clearest source for whether the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 16GB are leaving production and what models will sit at the top of the GeForce range.
