Insiders Forecast Significantly Reduced Supply of GeForce RTX 4060 GPUs in February

[T0@st]

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."

Small batch releases are the new hot thing, so you can claim amazing msrp value. Drip drip the stock until the market adjusts the price to what NV would like it to be. Then send in all the stock.

Anyone remember 4080 12gb bs? This gen is even worse somehow.

Congratulations, gamers! We are no longer players, we *are* the game.

Investigations have to be done at this point, there is something extremely wrong in the supply chain, almost as if there is a mafia ransoming new hardware that has to be launched.

No, I actually think this is ALL the stock.

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.

Why is everyone stockpiling with Blackwall when Rubin is right around the corner. We're just heating the Earth until we boil.

Codename for the next architecture using N3 node. There's no point in investing in all these data centers when everything will be e-waste next year.

Ah, ok.

Not everyone feels that way.

HBM4 memory?
I'd like to see that

expensive, not great performance and low vram. Big sellers because there isn't much alternatives

That’s not how we operate. Platform lifetime is atleast 3 for primary workloads. We buy every flight of GPU that comes and older systems are simply relegated to training while the newer systems get added to the inference clusters.

There is a reason the 4060 is one of the most popular cards made. It's an excellent value/performance balance. The suggestion of "not great performance" is nonsense.

Reduced supply of previous product so you can buy the current product whose supply doesn't exist.

High IQ.
