Recent rumors about the NVIDIA RTX 5090 GB202 indicate that the company has stopped allocating new GB202 chips to the consumer GeForce RTX 5090, reserving all future production of the GPU for the professional RTX Pro line. The information mainly comes from leaker MEGAsizeGPU (@Zed__Wang) on X and was widely reported by sites like VideoCardz, Notebookcheck and Wccftech.
What do the rumors about NVIDIA RTX 5090 GB202 say?
According to the reports, there would be no more GB202 for new RTX 5090s (including D variants for China). Instead, the silicon would go exclusively to RTX Pro cards, which have much higher margins and are used in workstations and AI. Some factory messages cited speak of discontinuation, with the RTX 5080 24 GB (using 3 GB GDDR7 modules) as a possible new consumer flagship. NVIDIA has not officially confirmed the end of production and, in some reports, has pushed back on the claim of total discontinuation.
Market context
Demand for AI GPUs and memory (GDDR7 and DRAM) is pressuring supply. Pro cards with full GB202 (like RTX Pro 6000 with 96 GB) sell for multiples of the price of an RTX 5090. Directing the larger die to the professional side maximizes margin per wafer without new silicon. Sources: VideoCardz, Notebookcheck and the leaker's posts.
What does this mean in practice for the NVIDIA RTX 5090 GB202?
If confirmed, RTX 5090 availability could worsen further and prices rise. High-end gamers would have to look at the 5080 or wait for Super lines. It is a rumor until official confirmation from NVIDIA or partners. Treat as unconfirmed reporting.
