Nvidia RTX 5090 Stock Frozen as AIB Parts Dry Up [Confirmed]

Nvidia has not officially discontinued the flagship GeForce RTX 5090, but third-party add-in board manufacturers are currently unable to source the required GB202 silicon and 32GB GDDR7 memory dies, triggering an abrupt production freeze across global supply chains. According to verified reports from PC Gamer and hardware expert Der8auer, prominent AIB partners confirm that Nvidia has completely suspended bundle purchasing for the GB202 die and its high-density GDDR7 memory modules. Unlike previous GPU component shortages where partners could queue backorders, Nvidia’s procurement portal no longer accepts backorders for the flagship graphics card. While Nvidia clarified that the RTX 5090 has not reached official End-of-Life (EOL) status, manufacturers cannot assemble graphics cards without core silicon. The bottleneck arrives amid broader industry restructuring, mirroring supply and capital constraints seen across tech giants following moves like the [Microsoft Xbox Buyouts 2026: 60k Workers Eligible [Confirmed]](/news/microsoft-xbox-voluntary-exit-offer-2026). Retailers report dwindling shelf stock, leaving high-end PC enthusiasts facing aggressive price markups from secondary resellers.
