No, not as of 6 November 2026, at least not officially. NVIDIA has issued no end-of-life notice for the GeForce RTX 5090. In mid-October, NVIDIA senior vice president Jeff Fisher told Taiwanese media that the card had not been discontinued and would continue to ship, while acknowledging that supply-chain capacity was constrained. At the same time, several leakers claim the GB202 chip behind the 5090 is being steered towards professional cards. Retailers have pulled or stopped carrying the card, and US prices have climbed to roughly three to four times the launch price. "Discontinued" and "very hard to buy" are different things, and right now the evidence supports the second.
What has been claimed, and by whom?
| Date (2026) | Source | Claim or observation | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9–16 Oct | Micro Center listings | RTX 5090 listings changed to "Not Carried" rather than "out of stock" | Observed; no reason given |
| 10 Oct | Zed__Wang / MEGAsizeGPU (X) | "All future GB202 supplies are RTX Pro exclusive" | Rumour |
| 10 Oct | hongxing2020 (X) | Cites a "factory notice" that the 5090 and 5090 D will end | Rumour |
| Mid-Oct | NVIDIA US online store | RTX 5090 removed from the GPU listings | Observed; no reason given |
| 16 Oct | Jeff Fisher, NVIDIA SVP, Taipei interview | Not discontinued, will continue to ship; supply constrained | NVIDIA executive, translated interview |
| 20 Oct | Moore's Law Is Dead, citing a large retailer | 5090 production ends in the first half of January 2027 | Rumour |
| 27 Oct | der8auer, citing board-partner sources | Partners can't order or back-order 5090 chip-and-memory kits; not told it is end of life | Rumour (anonymous); NVIDIA told him it is "definitely" not discontinued |

What did NVIDIA actually say?
The key statement came from Jeff Fisher, the senior vice president who runs NVIDIA's GeForce and PC business. He spoke in a post-event interview at the RTX Spark launch in Taipei on 16 October 2026. The interview was first reported by the Taiwanese site 4Gamers and then picked up by Tom's Hardware, Hardware Busters, Dexerto, PC Guide and others. Fisher spoke in Chinese and translations vary, but they agree on the substance. As translated by Tom's Hardware, he said "production has not been discontinued, and NVIDIA will continue to ship". Other outlets render his supply comment as capacity being "somewhat constrained".
Two caveats matter. This was an interview, not a written press release. And Tom's Hardware noted that NVIDIA did not answer its own request for comment. The YouTuber der8auer separately reported on 27 October that NVIDIA told him the card had "definitely" not been discontinued.
That fits NVIDIA's earlier on-record position. In January 2026, NVIDIA told the press that "memory supply is constrained" and "We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs". On its February 2026 earnings call, NVIDIA said supply would be "very tight" for "a couple of quarters". What NVIDIA has not done is explain the store removals, comment on board partners' ordering, or confirm or deny a 24 GB RTX 5080.
A product can be "not discontinued" and still be almost impossible to buy. NVIDIA's statements address the first question; the shelves answer the second.
Why do the rumours keep coming?
The RTX 5090 and the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell use the same GB202 chip. The 5090 pairs it with 32 GB of memory and the PRO 6000 with 96 GB. When both memory and chips are scarce, it is a reasonable inference that the professional card earns more per chip and per gigabyte. Gigabyte's CEO said in January 2026 that NVIDIA could weigh the revenue each segment earns per gigabyte of memory. That is why "GB202 goes to RTX PRO" sounds plausible. But it remains an inference from leaks, not something NVIDIA has said.
Memory is the background to all of it. TrendForce estimated conventional DRAM contract prices rose 90–95% in the first quarter of 2026. It also said GDDR7 output remained limited as capacity shifted to server memory. Our post on whether AI is taking graphics cards away from gamers goes into that in more detail.
What do the shelves show?
- United States: Tom's Hardware found the 5090 at about US$8,500 on Amazon and about US$7,300 on Newegg on 17 October, against a US$1,999 launch price. The early-November eBay average was about US$6,542. Micro Center had earlier required photo ID and a signed no-export declaration to buy one.
- Malaysia: Lowyat reported on 18 October that the card was still on shelves and selling, at an average of about RM28,000.
- Singapore: Amazon.sg listings tracked by GPU Prix showed RTX 5090 cards at S$4,721–7,336, all out of stock, on 4 November. Dell Singapore's Alienware Area-51 page offered no RTX 5090 configuration on 6 November.
Retail changes like "Not Carried" or a store removing a listing are real, but none comes with a stated reason. They fit both "end of production" and "no stock to sell for now".
What would actually confirm it either way?
- A formal end-of-life or product-change notice to partners, or a written NVIDIA statement. Neither had appeared by 6 November.
- A launched replacement, such as the rumoured 24 GB RTX 5080, with its own price and date.
- NVIDIA's third-quarter results on 17 November 2026. Since its May 2026 results NVIDIA no longer reports a separate Gaming segment, so the results are unlikely to answer the question directly, but management comments on GeForce supply would be worth reading.
Should you buy now or wait?
If you need the card for work or a planned build, waiting for a price drop is a gamble. Industry forecasts, including Micron's, point to memory staying tight into 2027–28. If you do buy, use a reputable seller, check whose warranty applies (grey imports may not be supported locally), and compare against complete systems. That comparison has swung back and forth during 2026, as our prebuilt-vs-card price post shows.
If you don't strictly need a 5090, there are good alternatives:
- An RTX 5080 for gaming.
- A system with an RTX 5090 Laptop GPU for a compact machine.
- For AI and professional work, an RTX PRO card or a GB10 system. Our post on choosing between an RTX 5090 and an RTX PRO 6000 during the shortage covers that decision.

Buying in Singapore
SourceIT's RTX 5090 card listings are all out of stock, so ask us for current availability and a quotation rather than relying on a listed price. For a compact gaming system available now, the ASUS ROG NUC 16 Edition 20 with the RTX 5090 Laptop GPU (24 GB, a smaller chip than the desktop card) is S$11,888.40. For professional AI and graphics work, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition is S$29,100 and the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell (48 GB) is S$14,971.20 (listed 6 Nov 2026).

Frequently asked questions
Has NVIDIA discontinued the RTX 5090? Not officially. No end-of-life notice had been issued by 6 November 2026. NVIDIA SVP Jeff Fisher said in a Taipei interview on 16 October that production had not been discontinued and the card would continue to ship, while supply was constrained.
Why did the RTX 5090 disappear from NVIDIA's store? NVIDIA removed it from its US online store in mid-October 2026 and the RTX 5080 around 30 October, without giving a reason. Store removals are consistent with no stock, as well as with the end of production.
Is the RTX 5090's chip going to RTX PRO cards instead? Several leakers claim so, and it's a plausible inference because both cards use the GB202 chip. NVIDIA has not confirmed it, so treat it as a rumour.
Is a 24 GB RTX 5080 coming? Leakers including ChannelGate and Benchlife say one is due around December 2026 to early 2027. NVIDIA has not announced it.
Will RTX 5090 prices come down soon? Nobody can say for sure. Memory makers such as Micron expect supply to stay tight into 2027–28, which makes a quick return to the US$1,999 launch price unlikely.
