NVIDIA To End RTX 4080 SUPER & 4090 Production By November Before 5090 Launch

Expert Verified By

The End of the RTX 40 Era is Upon Us!

Story Highlight
  • According to Chinese Board Channels, NVIDIA is ending production of the RTX 4080 SUPER by November 2024.
  • RTX 4090, which ended production last month, and RTX 4080 SUPER are becoming increasingly scarce.
  • The company is reportedly preparing to launch the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 simultaneously in 2025.

NVIDIA is reportedly stopping the production of two of its flagship graphics cards, the RTX 4080 SUPER and the RTX 4090, by November 2024. This move is likely to make way for the new Blackwell architecture.

This news comes as the upcoming release of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, which are expected to launch around the same time.

Why it matters: By stopping production of the RTX 4080 SUPER and RTX 4090, NVIDIA is clearing the way for the RTX 5090 and 5080.

Trusted sources from Chinese Board forums report that the RTX 4080 SUPER, launched earlier in 2024, is likely to become hard to find. Production is expected to stop by the end of October, with shipments to partners finishing in November.

Unlike the RTX 4090, the 4080 SUPER hasn’t had a big price increase yet, but that could change as it becomes less available. Likewise, the supply of RTX 4090 chips, which reportedly stopped production in September, will soon decrease as manufacturers wrap up their last batches.

Retailers in major markets like the US and Europe are noticing that stock for the RTX 4090 is running low, causing prices to go up. In the US, prices have increased by about 10%, while European prices have risen even more.

These production cuts are making room for NVIDIA’s next generation of GeForce GPUs, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, built on the much-anticipated Blackwell architecture. Industry insiders say the company plans to release both GPUs together by 2025.

Early leaks indicate that the announcement and first look at these GPUs might take place at the same event, probably around CES 2025. However, they could be released in stages. This has become common for NVIDIA, as seen in past launches.

The new-gen GPUs are expected to offer significant upgrades in performance, energy efficiency, and memory speed. Some reports suggest the RTX 5090 might include up to 32GB of the latest GDDR7 memory.

This decision comes as NVIDIA has little to no competition from other GPU manufacturers. AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture isn’t expected to arrive until 2025, and while Intel’s Battlemage GPUs still don’t have a release date, they are likely aimed at more affordable markets. This means NVIDIA will largely dominate the high-end GPU segment for now.
