Nvidia maintains that the RTX 5090 is not discontinued, but one unnamed board partner reportedly cannot order GPU and memory kits, even on backorder.

In his October 25 report, Roman “der8auer” Hartung cites an employee at a graphics card partner. The partner has received no end-of-life notice, but cannot buy GB202 and 32GB GDDR7 kits or say whether ordering will resume.
The reported change goes beyond a delayed delivery
The distinction is the ordering process: the contact says previous shortages still allowed backorders. This time, that option has closed. The account concerns one unnamed partner, so it does not establish that every RTX 5090 manufacturer faces the same restriction.
