## Nvidia RTX 5090 status
Nvidia says RTX 5090 isn't discontinued but AIB partners can't get parts to make it.
## AIB partner quote
No, Nvidia did not inform us that RTX 5090 is EOL. But currently we cannot purchase GB202 with 32 GB GDDR7 as a complete set.

> 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.
## Key takeaway

Nvidia's RTX 5090 isn't discontinued but AIB partners can't source GPU and VRAM for production.
