NVIDIA has denied reports that its flagship GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is being discontinued, confirming that shipments will continue despite ongoing supply constraints. Jeff Fisher, the company’s senior vice president of personal computing, addressed the rumors during an interview with Taiwanese media in Taipei on October 16, following NVIDIA’s RTX Spark launch event.
Taiwan’s Central News Agency (CNA) and technology publication 4Gamers independently reported Fisher’s comments. He said the discontinuation claims were untrue and described the RTX 5090 as an important part of NVIDIA’s product lineup. Fisher also acknowledged that supply-chain capacity is constrained, adding that the company is working to get products to market.
The statement addresses rumors that circulated after reports claimed NVIDIA had stopped allocating GB202 chips to its GeForce RTX 5090. The reports fueled speculation that the company was ending production of its top gaming GPU, potentially redirecting chip capacity toward professional graphics products. Those production-allocation claims have not been independently confirmed by NVIDIA in the statement.
Retail availability has added to the uncertainty. Reports of the RTX 5090 disappearing from NVIDIA’s marketplace and becoming difficult to find at some retailers prompted further questions about the card’s future. The situation has also drawn attention to RTX 5090 shortages and rising prices in Germany, although limited retail stock alone does not establish that a product has been discontinued.
Fisher’s remarks clarify NVIDIA’s stated position: the RTX 5090 has not been discontinued, and the company intends to continue shipping it. However, his comments do not specify future production volumes, shipment schedules or when supply constraints might ease.
The original report from TechPowerUp also cites Fisher’s comments and the coverage from Taiwanese media. TechPowerUp's report on NVIDIA's RTX 5090 statement provides further context on the rumors and the company’s response.
For PC gamers considering NVIDIA’s current flagship, continued shipments are a positive clarification, but they do not guarantee that the card will be readily available or sold near its launch price. Until NVIDIA provides more detail about supply, actual availability will remain a separate question from whether production has officially ended.
