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.

What?

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.

Yes, as I said, orchestrated, and it sets a new precedence/price for newer generations going forward.

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!

It's not somehow! It's constantly moving to exactly this goal because people are buying these stupid gpus RTX 4060Ti 16GB, RTX 4070, RTX 4070Ti, RTX 4080 (In big numbers) and now RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070Ti, RTX 5070, RTX 5060Ti 16GB

How can you expect something good when people are literally destroying its own market. (Not nvidias fault)

When you want a certain performance range you pay for it. I also paid more than I wanted to pay for a graphic card. MY radeon gpu costs more than the other am5 build parts without the psu and the computer case.

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

Zotac GeForce RTX 4060 Spider-Man OC Review

Zotac's GeForce RTX 4060 Spider-Man will definitely appeal to the younger audience thanks to its flashy colors and a Marvel Spider-Man license. Under the hood, Zotac includes a small factory overclock and a decent cooler that's paired with good fan settings.

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.

Yes, of course!

"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.

He didn't say that based on meritful info, he said it based his business interests as a CEO.

If there was ever a GPU that we should actully less of a shit about is the sh1tshow that is the 4060..that is basically a 4050.

 

[N/A]

He's talking primarily about the part where transistors double every two years, that part is gone.

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.

If there was ever a GPU that we should actully less fo a shit about is the shitshow that is the 4060..that is basically a 4050.

The Steam hardware survey would like to have a word.

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.
Also;

The 4060 is well and truly a step above the 4050. Not the same GPU, not even close.
