NVIDIA Denies Report That GeForce RTX 5090 Production Has Ended
The denial settles the production question but leaves the shortage behind it untouched: memory prices keep climbing, RTX 5090 street prices in Japan have passed 1 million yen, and NVIDIA has not said when supply stabilizes.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
At an October 16 media interview after the RTX Spark Launch Party: Taipei, NVIDIA Senior Vice President Jeff Fisher denied rumors that production of the GeForce RTX 5090 has ended, saying shipments will continue. German outlet PC Games Hardware had reported on October 15, citing distribution and retail officials, that new supply of the GB202 chip used in the card had halted. Fisher said production capacity has constraints but NVIDIA is doing what it can to get products to market.
Fisher's denial is narrower than the rumor it answers. Asked about the card's production status, he acknowledged that capacity has constraints and said NVIDIA is doing what it can to get products to market. That covers the claim that output has stopped. It does not address the reason the rumor circulated: a memory shortage that has pushed DRAM and SSD prices up and left the RTX 5090 selling in Japan for more than 1 million yen in some cases. Whether that supply picture improves is a separate question, and Fisher did not answer it.
