NVIDIA Reportedly Halts RTX 5060 Series Supply, Price Increases Expected
Reports from Chinese sources indicate that NVIDIA has temporarily stopped supply of the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti 8GB graphics processor. Experts of the industry are predicting that this action would create ascension in pricing for these accelerators in the coming weeks.
Details of Supply Cut
The supposed supply cuts are important, affecting order amounts for partners as follows:
- RTX 5060 Ti (8GB): Approximately 15 percent of the supply was cut.
- RTX 5060 (8GB): Approximately 30 percent of the supply was cut.
Considering the continuously high demand for budget and mid-range graphics cards, experts think that this decrease in availability will ultimately elevate retail prices.
Possible Motives for Making the Move
NVIDIA has not made any official comment in this regard; however, it has been known to regulate market supply and demand in a similar fashion in the past.
It's also possible that their decision has to do with the market performance of these particular 8GB models, which have reported a lukewarm reception, with demand possibly not being as great as expected.
