Nvidia senior vice president Jeff Fisher has officially denied reports suggesting that the GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card has been discontinued. During the RTX Spark launch event in Taipei, Fisher confirmed that the Blackwell-based flagship remains a core product for the company and will continue to be supplied to the market.
Despite the official denial, the RTX 5090 faces significant supply constraints. Retailers such as Micro Center have removed the card from their shelves, and it is currently unavailable on Nvidia's official online store. Market reports indicate that prices for the unit have exceeded $5000 in most regions due to the ongoing scarcity.
The rumors of discontinuation stemmed from speculation that Nvidia was prioritizing the GB202 chip for professional RTX PRO series products. There were also claims that a 24GB version of the RTX 5080 might replace the 5090 as the new flagship. Fisher emphasized that the GeForce business remains vital to Nvidia's operations.
It remains unclear whether Nvidia will increase supply levels or if the current shortages are caused by chip capacity allocation, high demand, or other logistical issues. While Fisher's statement clarifies that the product is not officially discontinued, the actual availability for consumers remains limited.
