NVIDIA has reportedly ceased the allocation of GB202 silicon for the GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. According to leaker MEGAsizeGPU, all future supplies of the GB202 chip will be reserved exclusively for the company's professional workstation GPU lineup.
The GB202 silicon is currently used in the RTX PRO 6000, which features 96 GB of memory and 24,064 CUDA cores, as well as the RTX PRO 5500, which offers 84 GB of memory and 21,760 CUDA cores. NVIDIA appears to be prioritizing these high-margin workstation products over the consumer-grade RTX 5090.
A separate report from leaker hongxing2020 suggests that the RTX 5090 has reached its end-of-life status, including variants sold in the Chinese market. The same report indicates that an RTX 5080 model with 24 GB of memory is expected to become the new flagship GeForce card, while the 16 GB version of the 5080 will be discontinued.
While rumors previously pointed to an RTX 5080 SUPER model featuring 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, it remains unconfirmed if this aligns with the new 24 GB variant. Board partners reportedly received information regarding SUPER cards in July, though production was initially paused due to the pricing of GDDR7 memory components.
