“No, Nvidia did not inform us that 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 again in the future.”
Parts shortage impact
Two AIB partners reduced RTX 5090 heatsink orders for Q1 2027 compared to Q3 2026.
“Two of our partners already reduced quite much the order forecast for RTX 5090 model heatsinks in Q1 2027, when compare[d] with Q3 2026.”
Nvidia supply chain
Nvidia acknowledges limited supply chain capacity has led to a 'somewhat constrained' output for RTX 5090.
“Nvidia will continue to ship it, and this is very important.”
Market impact
RTX 5090 prices have risen to $8,000 with limited availability from reputable sellers.
“It has been incredibly difficult to find any of the cards available from reputable sellers at even reasonable prices (with some listed for upwards of $8,000 right now).”
Future outlook
AIB partners cannot place backorders with Nvidia for RTX 5090 parts, and the supply issue may last until 2027.
“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 again in the future.”
The essence
