On September 13, 2025, WCCF, a well - known foreign media outlet, reported that NVIDIA had taken down the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Founders Edition graphics cards from its official online stores across multiple regions globally. Only a meager inventory remained in some specific areas, which set off a flurry of speculation regarding a potential production halt. On September 14, a spokesperson from NVIDIA stepped in to clear the air. They emphasized that the production of the RTX 50 series Founders Edition graphics cards is still in full swing. The reason behind these cards being removed from the shelves is the stock shortages, which are a direct result of the limited - edition nature of these products, rather than any halt in production.
