RTX 5090 GPU shortage could soon end if Nvidia adopts this strategy
Nvidia may be close to resolving some of its delay issues and getting the RTX 5090 GPUs ready for consumers in at least a month, with a fortunate workaround. Online leakers noted on X that the shortage began due to scalpers over-purchasing components, but it could soon end if Nvidia adopts this strategy. Leaker @Zed__Wang suggested the component supplier may be able to tackle the challenge it has been having with its RTX 5090 shortage by utilizing Nvidia B200 data center GPUs in the production of its high-end graphics chips. The Nvidia B200 chips have notably dropped in demand and gone into oversupply. If the reports are accurate, Nvidia would be able to use the excess GB100 dies that are within the B200 GPU and incorporate them into the GB202 architecture for the RTX 5090. This could potentially end the shortage. The RTX 5090 isn't the only Nvidia GPU that has been facing delays. The RTX 5080, along with the abovementioned graphics card launched in January in extremely limited quantities. As said, overall demand plus scalper inflation led to low availability of the components. Currently, there is no word on whether the RTX 5080 will receive a supply update. The RTX 50 series, powering laptops and desktops is another notable GPU family that has been delayed until at least March. There have been several unsubstantiated reasons as to why the GPUs may have been delayed, including Nvidia's focus on AI GPUs and internal miscommunication within the company. Notebookcheck also noted some graphics cards may have been experiencing performance and functionality issues. Nvidia will make the GPU available for pre-order starting February 25, despite it not releasing until sometime later. The RTX 60 and RTX 70 GPUs are also facing delays until April. However, the RTX 5070 Ti will see a prompt launch on February 20.

Nvidia's AI obsession is causing delays in its PC business
Component manufacturer, Nvidia appears to be short on GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs for laptops, which were originally set to launch in January. Reports indicate that the supplier has been so focused on developing AI Chips that other parts of its business have lapsed. This has caused delays in supplying the GeForce RTX 50 Series chips to computing partners. According to Wccftech, the graphics chip will now launch in March. Meanwhile, Other expected Nvidia GPUs, including the RTX 70 and RTX 60 series are set to be unveiled in April. Further details indicate the delay was caused by miscommunication between Nvidia and its board partners about the RTX 50 series SKUs. There have also been unknown issues with the laptop segment. According to the Taiwanese publication Digi Times, the RTX 50 series delay has subsequently pushed back the release of several other Nvidia components until March, including the high-end laptop RTX 5090 and RTX 5090 GPUs. These graphics card models were also intended for a January launch but were held back due to low availability. Being delayed on components is unusual for Nvidia, with the brand being considered a 'model student' in the supply chain industry, the publication added. This also happened at NVIDIA, which has never been late in the past, and it is estimated that it is related to NVIDIA's all-out sprint to the AI server. Even if there are differences in the design and process of server and PC chips, the company's resource allocation may still affect the debugging efficiency of new products. While Nvidia sorts out its supply issues internally, the company has announced that gaming laptops featuring the RTX 50 GPU will be available for pre-order starting February 25. The devices won't begin shipping until March. Similarly, these laptops won't be customizable to RTX 60 and RTX 70 GPUs since those components won't be official until April. Wccftech noted that while vendors and retailers are beginning to display laptops that will feature the RTX 50 series online, they are doing so with other partners, such as Intel and AMD. Components in the laptops include the Intel Core Ultra 200HX, AMD Fire Range, and Strix Point. Sign in to access your portfolio
