It would be safe to state that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launch was anything but ideal. Gamers had to deal with whacky NVIDIA marketing material with absurd performance claims, followed by disappointing generational improvement for the RTX 5080, only to be left dealing with abysmal supply leading to obscene shortages and scalper-induced price inflation. However, it does seem like things are about to take a positive turn - NVIDIA is rumored to have ramped up production for its GB202 GPU, which the RTX 5090 is based on, according to a reliable source.

Spotted by VideoCardz, MEGAsizeGPU has claimed that the supply for the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU will soon be "stupidly high", which is absolute music to our ears. In a reply thread, the source further claimed that at least one AIB partner already has "tons of cards", which sure does paint a promising picture for the future. As such, the source expects that the supply will reach customers in about a month, which is to be expected since production has been cranked only recently. Apparently, demand for the GB200 GPU has been lower than usual, forcing NVIDIA to switch to producing GeForce GPUs instead. Of course, the margins for the gaming GPUs are lower, but the production capacity has to go somewhere.The GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 families are expected to arrive in the next few weeks - both of which will be met with stiff competition from AMD's RX 9070 and 9070 XT cards, also expected to launch early next month. Early performance leaks have hinted at the RX 9070 and RTX 5070 families somewhat neck-and-neck in raw performance, with AMD arguably having the upper hand in raster performance and overall value, if the pricing leaks are to be believed. Of course, how the launch plays out remains to be seen, but it would be safe to assume that supply will likely be better this time around. But as always, accept leaks and rumors with a fair amount of skepticism.
