Nvidia GB202 production may be shifting from RTX 5090 to RTX Pro
A report and leaker claims suggest Nvidia may be prioritizing GB202 for RTX Pro AI and enterprise cards over the GeForce RTX 5090.
- The RTX 5090 is Nvidia’s Blackwell flagship for consumers, with 32GB of GDDR7 and a $1,999 MSRP.
- The article cites an Amazon listing of $7,175 for an RTX 5090, highlighting the current shortage.
What happened
The discussion centers on the GeForce RTX 5090, Nvidia’s top consumer model based on the Blackwell architecture. The card launched with 32GB of GDDR7 memory, a 2.41 GHz boost clock, and a $1,999 MSRP. That makes the RTX 5090 clearly positioned as a high-end consumer product, while the same GB202 chip is also relevant to other Nvidia product lines.
According to the cited report and follow-up coverage, Nvidia may be shifting GB202 production allocation toward RTX Pro cards for AI data centers and business customers. The claims come in part from leakers hongxing2020 and MEGAsizeGPU, as well as an X post from Zed__Wang, who said there would be “no more GB202 for 5090” and that future GB202 supply would be “RTX Pro exclusive.” Nvidia has not publicly confirmed this.
The article also notes that the RTX 5090 is now difficult to find and that market pricing has climbed sharply. As an example, it cites an Amazon offer of $7,175, far above the original $1,999 MSRP. That mainly shows how far retail pricing has drifted from the suggested price, without definitively proving the cause of the shortage.

2026-10-13: The available source selection says Nvidia has not publicly responded to the GB202 allocation rumors.
Background
Nvidia’s RTX Pro Blackwell line is aimed at workstation, server, and enterprise AI use cases. Official Nvidia messaging around RTX PRO Blackwell emphasizes professional workflows, AI inference, and server deployment. That official product focus explains why GB202 is relevant beyond the GeForce line, but it does not confirm that Nvidia is actually winding down the RTX 5090.
So the core of the rumor is a possible redistribution of chip supply, not a confirmed product shutdown. The available sources mention shortages, high market prices, and leaker statements, but no formal Nvidia announcement about ending RTX 5090 production. The article also points to pressure on DRAM supply and broader supply issues as possible background factors, without giving exact evidence for each one.
