Insiders Forecast Significantly Reduced Supply of GeForce RTX 4060 GPUs in February
Supply chain and board partner (AIB) insiders have once again signalled a murky future for Team Green's "Ada Lovelace" generation of gaming graphics cards—Chinese industry soothsayers believe that supplies of GeForce RTX 4060 GPUs will change significantly throughout February. A somewhat similar disclosure popped up online half-way through January—when members of the Board Channels discussion board predicted an end of the month stock depletion of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPUs. Several web entities believe that NVIDIA is paving the way for a next wave of GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" graphics cards.
Gory details appeared on Board Channels—yesterday morning's China market-focused bulletin stated: "supply of the main models of the RTX 4060 series will be greatly reduced from the first quarter of 2025, that is, from February 2025 in the domestic market, NVIDIA's supply of RTX4060 series GPUs will be greatly reduced, which is at least 60% less than the estimated Q4 of 2024." Team Green and its partners are reportedly working on a March launch window for GeForce RTX 5060 (non-Ti) and RTX 5060 Ti graphics card models—neatly aligning with the RTX 4060-related timeframes proposed by industry insiders. The Board Channels article added further clarification: "the number of GPUs that each core AIC brand manufacturer can get from NVIDIA will be greatly reduced."

Anyone remember 4080 12gb bs? This gen is even worse somehow.
They're not holding it back for demand to grow. They're just doing other things - like Blackwell LLM accelerators that cost $70.000 apiece. They can't even hear you over the pile of money they're buried beneath.
I'd like to see that
High IQ.
Think this is the last GPU you will be able to buy, before owning nothing and being happy, at least people will have GeForce Now!
How can you expect something good when people are literally destroying its own market. (Not nvidias fault)
The 4060 is as worse as my previosu radeon 6600XT. I would not call it a decent value product for 2023 onwards. I bought the 6600XT at release

I think it is smart to slowly produce less of an older generation. More value to older cards. Less stock hopefully in the market which can be bought. No one wants an older generation. You see it with the am5 mainboards as a good example. Basically those mainboards are quite similar.
"Moore's Law is dead … It's completely over, and so the idea that a chip is going to go down in cost over time, unfortunately, is a story of the past." - Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, September 2022.
That's why for instance basically the same performance card as RTX 4080 Super that was launched more than a year ago for $999 can now be had for as little as $1600!
Genius move, if you of course root for the value of Nvidia's stocks. If you're a gamer... well... there are still plenty fish in the sea.
2008 G200 3.0M / mm² 55 nm
2010 GF100 5.9M / mm² 40 nm
2012 GK104" 12.0M / mm² 28 nm
2016 GP104 22.9M / mm² 12 nm
2022 AD102 122.9M / mm² 5 nm
for 2008/10/12 it kept going and then it took 4 years. 2012 to 2022 is 10X pretty good, but there won't be a 10X in 2032.
But over time when the machines are paid for and everything the price should drop and we could see like a 600 watt 8060.
Given that the 4060 is the top seller currently on the market, to say no one should care is a bit out of touch with the pulse of the gaming public.

The 4060 is well and truly a step above the 4050. Not the same GPU, not even close.
AMD is still a generation behind in terms of RT performance and high quality upscaling; and they've abandoned the high-end GPU market. The longer AMD flounders, the more nVidia can pay game devs to use nVidia middleware.
