NVIDIA denies rumors of RTX 5090 discontinuation, production normal
Nvidia confirmed that its GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card remains in production despite recent claims suggesting the company planned to discontinue the high-end gaming processor. A company representative stated all GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs stay available when asked about potential discontinuation plans. The RTX 5090 features more than 21,000 cores and 32 gigabytes of GDDR7 memory using Blackwell architecture.
Earlier reports alleged Nvidia would introduce RTX 50 Super variants during October, but that month passed without any refresh announcement. Those same accounts claimed the company stopped making Founders Edition versions of the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 and RTX 5060, though Nvidia lists those models on its official marketplace. The RTX 5090 Founders Edition does not appear there because limited edition products periodically sell out before restocking occurs.
Average retail pricing for the RTX 5090 currently sits near $3,000 after dropping from $3,500 several months ago. Prices briefly approached the $1,999 manufacturer-suggested retail price weeks ago before climbing again. Major retailers continue stocking the card while demand creates occasional shortages at individual stores.
