Nvidia’s highly sought-after RTX 5090 graphics card is running thin on stock, but a recent rumor suggests that this could change soon. According to MEGAsizeGPU, a reputable source in the hardware rumor scene, Nvidia will receive a significant increase in chips for the RTX 5090, which should lead to a surge in stock levels within a month.
The supply of GB202 chips, used in the RTX 5090, is expected to improve, allowing manufacturers to produce more graphics cards. This increase in supply should translate to more availability on shelves, potentially leading to lower prices and an end to price gouging by scalpers.
Scalpers who have been taking advantage of the limited stock would be left high and dry if this forecast pans out. However, for those waiting patiently, it seems worth the wait, as the results of this apparent move from Nvidia are expected to come through soon.
A broader optimism in Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs is also noted, with potential improvements in supply levels for other chips like GB203 and GB205, which power the RTX 5070. While retailers may be favoring pre-built PCs with new Blackwell GPUs over standalone sales, an increase in RTX 5090 stock should alleviate availability issues soon.
As the situation develops, it will be essential to monitor the market for any changes in pricing or availability. For now, those who have been waiting patiently for a better deal on the RTX 5090 may finally see their prayers answered.
