Nvidia are abandoning their RTX 5090 graphics cards in order to focus on AI dev friendly RTX Pro ones, leaker claims
Nvidia reportedly shifts production from RTX 5090 consumer GPUs to RTX Pro models for AI developers, prioritizing datacenter and GenAI workloads over gaming hardware.
Nvidia is reportedly reducing production of its RTX 5090 consumer graphics cards to focus on RTX Pro models, according to leaker MEGAsizeGPU, who has a history of accurate predictions. The shift aims to meet demand from AI developers and datacenters rather than regular PC gamers. Nvidia has not confirmed the change, leaving its impact on consumer availability uncertain.
The RTX Pro series is designed for professional AI, graphics, rendering, and compute tasks, including fine-tuning large language models and running local AI assistants. Nvidia describes the platform as central to high-performance professional computing solutions, emphasizing its role in automating enterprise workloads and accelerating AI-driven processes.
This move reflects a broader industry trend where chipmakers prioritize AI hardware over consumer products, exacerbating shortages in RAM, SSDs, and graphics cards. The shift has driven up prices and limited availability for regular PC users, with the crisis expected to persist for at least a year.
The reported production shift highlights the growing influence of AI and datacenter demand on hardware supply chains. While Nvidia has not officially commented, the move underscores the challenges faced by consumers seeking high-end gaming components amid rising costs and limited stock.
