NVIDIA Reportedly Halts RTX 5090 Production, Reallocating Chips to AI Data Centers

NVIDIA has reportedly ceased assigning new GB202 silicon, originally intended for its flagship consumer GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, exclusively to its more profitable RTX Pro professional and AI-focused lineup. This shift, unconfirmed by NVIDIA but widely reported by hardware leakers, indicates a strong prioritization of AI infrastructure demand over the consumer gaming market. The move comes as RTX 5090 cards have vanished from retail shelves, with third-party sellers listing them at significantly inflated prices.
