Leaks suggest NVIDIA's RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 16GB will reach end-of-life in January 2027.
A retailer-sourced leak claims that the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 16GB will reach end-of-life in January 2027, according to TweakTown. The leak cites hardware leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead (MLID) as its source.
The report indicates that final RTX 5090 shipments reportedly arrived in September 2026, while the RTX 5080 16GB inventory is expected to sell out around Thanksgiving 2026. Both cards would hit formal End-of-Life dates in the first half of January 2027 per retailer systems.
