NVIDIA Allegedly Stops Accepting RTX 5090 Orders
Although NVIDIA has officially denied the discontinuation of the GeForce RTX 5090, more rumors are emerging that substantiate claims about the flagship gaming GPU being discontinued. This time, NVIDIA board partners are reporting that NVIDIA has officially stopped accepting orders for the 5090, according to a recent report by Der8auer on YouTube, and it appears as though it's not just a temporary freeze on GB202 supply, as has been the case prior, since pre-orders are also not available to buyers.
In a best-case scenario, this could just mean that NVIDIA is no longer bundling VRAM and GPU dies, which effectively leaves sourcing VRAM on the shoulders of AIB partners and may be a tactic to unofficially end sales of the 5090 without actually confirming or announcing it, and at worst, NVIDIA has already killed supply of the 5090 entirely, ahead of its supposed January 2027 EOL. A statement from a cooler OEM expands on this, explaining that projected 5090 sales are low enough to the point that there have not been any orders placed for RTX 5090 coolers.

Unnamed AIB partner via Der8auer on YouTubeNo, NVIDIA did not inform us that the RTX 5090 is EOL. But currently we cannot purchase GB202 together with 32 GB GDDR7 as a complete set, and we also don't know if ordering will be possible in again in future. Similar supplier shortages already happened several times before. But in the past NVIDIA always allowed us to place backorders, which is currently not possible anymore.
Maybe there is difference for GPU allocation between our partners. From our side we can see the forecast is going down. Two of our partners already reduce quite much the order forecast for RTX 5090 based heatsinks in Q1 2027, when compared with Q3 2026. For Q2 2027, until now we still did not receive any order for RTX 5090 model heatsinks from our partners.

When you call it 01 / 2027 EOL than it is technically not EOL yet. Therefore NVIDIA was right ... (removed ...)
They got no reason to lie, since if they did, they would open themselves up to lawsuits not to mentioned SEC securities fraud, and they wouldn't risk that
This most likely is allocation issue, with 1 GPU going to consumers, and 4999 going to feed the AI machine
They clearly lied saying it wasn't cancelled, allocating all dies towards RTX pro cards and AIBs not being able to order chips would indicate it's cancelled.
Nvidia is also apparently forcing AI companies to buy a bunch of hardware they don't have the resources to use or power up, SEC should have investigate scummy behavior like this, but it seems Nvidia can do no wrong recently.
"For some ODD reason, 5090's are in pretty short supply. For some reason, we're not able to provide our best hardware to board partners anymore. 'Market conditions', am I right guys?"
We consumers will get rubin once server customers get the next gen in 2028.
The 5080 is 10-15% faster than the competition while being $1800-2000, while the 5070Ti is barely faster and priced at 5080 MSRP.
If only it were as simple for the entire market as you make it sound through the narrow lens of a high end pc gamer.
