According to a leaked notice cited by leaker @hongxing2020, Nvidia has reportedly stopped selling GB202 graphics processors for consumer GeForce RTX 5090-series add-in-boards. This includes ‘D’ variants intended for the Chinese market. Leaker @Zed__Wang confirmed the report, stating that from now on, the GB202 silicon will be used exclusively for data center and professional graphics cards. A message attributed to the factory notes that the highest-end GeForce card will become the RTX 5080 with 24GB of memory, while the 16GB version will be discontinued. Nvidia has not officially commented on these unverified claims.<\/p>\n

The alleged decision aims to redirect manufacturing toward higher-margin products like the RTX Pro 5500 and RTX 6000 Pro, which feature similar CUDA core counts but significantly more memory for AI and professional visualization tasks. By stopping consumer production of GB202 chips, Nvidia could prevent its relatively inexpensive cards from competing with its own expensive accelerators in the lucrative AI sector. While this shift does not sacrifice gaming market share since neither the RTX 5080 nor 5090 has direct rivals, it means consumer availability will likely decline as partners and retailers deplete existing inventories.<\/p>\n

Nvidia may be preparing to refresh its lineup with rumored GeForce RTX 50 Super cards, potentially including an RTX 5080 Super with 24GB of GDDR7 memory. This new model could address previous supply constraints regarding memory chips. Although Nvidia is also developing the next-generation Rubin-based RTX 60-series GPUs, recent rumors suggest these will not arrive until late 2027 or 2028. If the reports about halting RTX 5090 production are accurate, enthusiasts might face a long wait for a GB202-class flagship card.<\/p>\n
