Nvidia RTX 5090 stock expected to improve over next few weeks

To put it mildly, the launch of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 was less than ideal. Gamers were bombarded with hyperbolic marketing claims, only to be met with underwhelming generational performance gains and abysmal stock levels. Although the performance can't magically improve, stock sure can. According to a reliable source, Nvidia has significantly ramped up production of its GB202 GPU, the heart of the RTX 5090.

MEGAsizeGPU has reported that the RTX 5090 supply will soon be “stupidly high”. The leaker also stated that at least one AIB partner already has “tonnes of cards” in stock, indicating improved availability in the foreseeable future. Based on this, the source anticipates that increased the supply will reach consumers within a month, a reasonable timeframe considering the recent production ramp-up.

Apparently, lower-than-expected demand for the GB200 GPU, used in Nvidia's data center products, has freed up capacity for GeForce GPU production. While gaming GPUs typically have lower profit margins, utilising the available production capacity makes sense to salvage the dies that have already been manufactured.

This news comes right before the launch of the GeForce RTX 5070 series (RTX 5070 Ti on February 20th and RTX 5070 on March 5th), which will hopefully be more widely available than the other RTX 50 series cards.
