- Nvidia appears to be preparing to cut GeForce GPU supply by 30-40% during early 2026.
- The RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5070 will be most heavily impacted by this decision due to the former’s 16GB VRAM.
- The gaming giant has also reportedly cancelled the RTX 50 Super refresh due to the memory crisis.
The ongoing memory crisis has not fully caught up to the GPU market yet. Despite AMD increasing the prices of its Radeon lineup, graphics cards from both Nvidia and AMD are still available at decent prices on the market.
However, the future seems bleak, as gaming consoles, GPUs, and even consumer laptops will be impacted by memory shortages and price hikes. According to a new report, Nvidia even plans to cut GPU production by nearly 50% next year.
Why it matters: If the rumors are to be believed, 2025 may be the last time gamers have ample opportunity to purchase graphics cards at reasonable prices for a while.
As reported by Benchlife, Nvidia’s plans largely stem from memory shortages expected next year. The gaming giant intends to cut supply by 30-40% in 2026.
Sources indicate that this figure is in relation to the supply of RTX graphics cards in the first half of 2025, so half as many GPUs will be available during H1 2026. It is also said that the RTX 5060 Ti 16GG and RTX 5070 Ti will be heavily impacted by this decision.
Nvidia appears to be struggling to secure GDDR7 memory for its GeForce series, so this news does not come as too big a surprise. In the past, the company has made it clear that its AI business comes first.
Because Nvidia itself is keen on gobbling up NAND and DRAM for its AI products, it seems the GeForce series is being sacrificed for the other products.
Nvidia is also said to have cancelled the RTX 50 Super lineup due to the ongoing crisis. As such, gamers are recommended to act fast if they are currently in need of a new GPU or an upgrade.
