NVIDIA reportedly not accepting RTX 5090 orders from board partners
The supply situation for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is becoming increasingly complicated. While NVIDIA officially denies rumors that the flagship is being discontinued, information from AIB partners suggests a significant bottleneck: manufacturers are reportedly unable to place even backorders for the essential components required for production.
Component Shortages: GB202 and GDDR7
According to reports from Roman "der8auer" Hartung, an AIB partner has confirmed that they have received no official end-of-life notification for the RTX 5090. However, the manufacturer is reportedly unable to order the specific kits consisting of "GB202" GPUs bundled with 32GB GDDR7 memory modules.
A critical detail in this report is the unavailability of backorders. In previous instances of supply constraints, NVIDIA allowed manufacturers to place additional orders to be fulfilled as capacity became available. Currently, this option is reportedly unavailable, leaving the future availability of these orders uncertain.
Cooling Supply Trends for 2027
The tightening supply chain is also reflected in the cooling industry. A supplier of graphics card cooling systems noted that two board partners have significantly reduced their projected orders for RTX 5090 cooling solutions for Q1 2027 compared to Q3 2026. Furthermore, the supplier has reported receiving no orders at all for RTX 5090 cooling systems for the second quarter of 2027.
These reports align with previous observations regarding the RTX 5090, such as its removal from NVIDIA’s US Marketplace and its status changing to "Not Carried" at Micro Center. Although NVIDIA maintains that the product has not been discontinued and will continue to ship despite capacity constraints, the current inability to secure GB202 chips and GDDR7 memory creates significant uncertainty for the product's long-term availability.
