At first, this story doesn’t start with a rumor, as several users in several countries have noticed that RTX 5080 and 5090 Founders Edition cards are no longer available in the chameleon’s stores. Of course, this contradicts the (bogus?) rumors of a massive refresh of the RTX 50.Nvidia has already stated that this situation is actually normal, since its RTX 50 FE GPUs are limited edition products and can therefore sometimes be out of stock. TheFounders Editions of the GeForce RTX 50 series are still in production. These products are limited editions, so they may be out of stock on our website, and you can return them as soon as they’re available again.
A little help for our partners?
But this more difficult availability of Founders Edition could simply be the result of a much simpler situation. In fact, for some time now, custom models sold by green partners have not only been fully available, but their prices have been steadily dropping. So much so, in fact, that the Founders Edition MSRP proposition is becoming less relevant…
RTX 50 SUPER: NVIDIA reportedly postpones release
So it’s not absurd to think that Nvidia is reallocating its GPU production capacities to much more profitable products, leaving its partners to address the particular market with a complete and available offer. A choice which also enables these same partners to release their stocks more quickly for the arrival of the next series. In recent days, the hypothesis of a rapid arrival of the RTX 50 Super has been dispelled by leaker Hongxing2020, known for his solid information from NVIDIA partners. His post on X announces a postponed release, throwing a spanner in the works of rumours of an arrival for the festive season…while others maintain that this news of such a rapid arrival of the Super versions was in fact totally bogus.
