NVIDIA’s senior vice president Jeff Fisher publicly denied rumors that the flagship Blackwell GeForce RTX 5090 would be discontinued, stressing the card’s importance amid severe supply constraints. Fisher made the statement during a Taipei launch event, noting that the GPU remains a core product and will keep shipping, though availability remains limited. Prices for the RTX 5090 have already climbed beyond five thousand dollars in many markets, reflecting the scarcity. Despite the denial, the card has vanished from major retailers’ shelves, prompting speculation about production pauses or supply chain disruptions. NVIDIA’s clarification aims to reassure gamers and investors that the RTX 5090 will remain on the market, even as the company navigates supply challenges.
