NVIDIA to End RTX 4090 Production, RTX 5090 to Follow

NVIDIA appears ready to halt production of its flagship GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4090 D graphics cards ahead of the launch of its next-generation lineup. Launched in October 2022, the GeForce RTX 4090 has remained the leader in GPU performance, with no current competitors able to match its superior gaming capabilities. However, the product's lifecycle is now nearing its end.

Both the GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4090 D are expected to cease production by October. While this news has not been officially confirmed, industry insiders indicate that these models will likely become unavailable after October. Despite their high prices, the cards remain in high demand, and the anticipated shortage could lead to further price increases.

NVIDIA's decision to discontinue these flagship models is aimed at reducing inventory of its high-end GeForce RTX 40 series and preparing for the launch of new products in the coming months. The GeForce RTX 5090 is expected to replace the RTX 4090 globally, with the RTX 5090 D set to take over in the Chinese market.

The GeForce RTX 4090 has been the most powerful model in the RTX 40 series, but with the introduction of the SUPER series offering better performance at a more competitive price point, the product lineup is set to evolve. The upcoming RTX 5090 and RTX 5090 D are expected to lead the market, with competitors AMD and Intel facing challenges in keeping up, as they are more focused on mainstream GPUs and processors.

NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 5090 will feature the Blackwell architecture, boasting a power consumption of approximately 600W and equipped with the latest GDDR7 memory for outstanding performance. Although the release date is still some time away, more details are expected to emerge soon.
