Nvidia appears to be redirecting its highest-end Blackwell silicon away from the consumer flagship and toward workstation and data-center cards. Multiple hardware leakers reported on October 10 that board partners have stopped receiving GB202 dies for new RTX 5090 production, with all future supply allocated exclusively to RTX PRO models.

Street prices for the 5090 were already well above its $1,999 MSRP, frequently trading in the $5,000-plus range before this development. A factory notice circulated by leaker hongxing2020 stated that Nvidia will no longer sell any 5090 models, including China-specific D variants, and that the RTX 5080 24GB is positioned to become the top GeForce card while the 16GB variant is discontinued.

Leaker MEGAsizeGPU posted that “All future GB202 supplies are RTX Pro exclusive,” a claim echoed across VideoCardz, Wccftech, and Notebookcheck. Existing inventory may still ship, but the move is expected to tighten already limited availability and add further upward pressure on pricing. The 50-series Super refresh, if it materializes, is not expected to use GB202 silicon.
