NVIDIA has reportedly stopped allocating GB202 silicon to the GeForce RTX 5090, redirecting the Blackwell chip exclusively to RTX Pro workstation cards. Leaker MEGAsizeGPU confirmed the move, stating all future GB202 supplies are reserved for the high-margin professional market. The RTX 5090 utilizes a cut-down version of the GB202, while the full chip powers the 96 GB RTX PRO 6000 and the newly unveiled RTX PRO 5500.
A second leaker, hongxing2020, announced the RTX 5090 end-of-life, noting China-market D variants are also excluded. The notice indicates the RTX 5080 24 GB will become the new top GeForce card, though this aligns with rumors of an RTX 5080 SUPER featuring 24 GB memory. Previous SUPER cards were delayed due to GDDR7 pricing issues.
Despite the redirect, NVIDIA has not officially confirmed the change, though RTX 5090 buyers continue facing elevated market prices.
