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."

- Your missing my point, its has been clearly demonstrated that nVidia have been upselling a number of thier GPU's. As in if you look all the way back to 8000 seriess, the 60 class was always 30% of the 80 class. With the 4060, the generational uplift means users are getting less hardware that they got in previous gen (PCIe 8x, 8GB, 128bit, 160w).
Putting aside RT, as the 4060 is limited by its useless VRAM buffer. At the time, for only £75 more, you could have gotten a 6750XT (PCIe 16x, 12GB, 192bit, 170w), but thats hard to find now, so instead, now we have the B580 (PCIe 8x, 12GB, 192bit, 190w) and useable RT for roughly the same current money as the 4060.
Observe.
Second; Your link to a HUB video about the 5080 is not on topic and has no value here.
Your opinion about the 4060 does NOT reality make. Facts about reality doth reality make.
- Second video - the 4060 20% more expensive and is only marginly faster than the 2yr old 3060, validating my point about it being a 4050 in all but name. Also 3060's aren't readily available new, in a lot of markets.
As the 7600 as is trash tier, the only viable AMD card at that price point is the 6700, if you can find one. 4060 v 6700 from the same guy above -
My point is, we dont need to care about this GPU, as there are still plenty of other, better, alternatives.
