ALFRENSIA TECH NEWS · UPDATED OCTOBER 13, 2026

Bottom line: Multiple technology outlets reported on October 10–12 that leakers claim NVIDIA may have stopped allocating new GB202 chips to GeForce RTX 5090 cards and redirected supply toward professional GPUs. NVIDIA has not publicly confirmed the claim. Treat this as an unverified report—not an official discontinuation announcement.

What do the reports actually say?

Tom’s Hardware reported on October 10 that the claim came from hardware leakers citing an alleged factory notice. Hardware Busters also covered the rumor and noted that the reports appear to trace back to leaker posts rather than an official statement. The reported claim concerns future chip allocation or production; it does not establish that every RTX 5090 board has stopped being made or sold.

Confirmed facts versus unverified claims

• Confirmed: reports about a possible change to RTX 5090 supply were published in October 2026.
• Not confirmed by NVIDIA: a complete production halt or a formal end-of-life decision.
• Not established: that retailers have run out of stock or that prices in Egypt will rise by a specific amount.
• Still a rumor: reports that an RTX 5080 with 24GB could replace the RTX 5090 as the top GeForce gaming model.

Should you buy now?

Do not rush into a purchase based on a leak alone. Compare independent benchmarks for your games or workloads, check the exact card dimensions and power requirements, and confirm the final price, warranty provider, return policy and availability with the seller. If your current GPU meets your needs, waiting for clearer information may be reasonable; if you need a card now, base the decision on verified stock and value rather than a rumor.

Will RTX 5090 prices rise in Egypt?

That cannot be concluded from these reports alone. Local prices depend on actual inventory, distribution, currency movements, taxes, demand and the specific model. Compare current local listings on the day you intend to buy; this article is not a price forecast.
