Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards have started disappearing from the catalogs of major Western stores. The reason may be the growing demand for AI chips and the redistribution of production capacities.
In the American chain Micro Center, some models have been marked as no longer available for sale. According to buyers, store employees were warned about the gradual cessation of supplies several weeks ago.
Another major electronics retailer, B&H, has started sending notifications to those awaiting stock replenishment about the cancellation of graphics card availability and the cessation of their production.
The reports intensified rumors that had previously circulated in the technology industry. According to unofficial estimates, NVIDIA may be limiting supplies of GeForce RTX 5090 due to huge demand for chips from the artificial intelligence industry and data centers.
It is assumed that the most advanced graphics processors may be directed to the production of professional computing accelerators, which provide higher profits than consumer graphics cards.
