Nvidia Reportedly Dialing Down RTX 50 Production For Further AI Focus

Expert Verified By

Nvidia Wants To Make More AI GPUs!

Story Highlight
  • Nvidia is reportedly cutting its RTX 50 production by 20-30%.
  • This move is being made to focus on AI products like GB300.
  • The gaming giant might increase production once the rumored RTX 50 Super refresh comes around.

Nvidia recently unveiled the last GPU of the RTX 50 family, completing its latest lineup of graphics cards. Despite the heavy criticism this series has faced over low VRAM, driver issues, and more, recent reports have revealed that Nvidia continues to lead gaming graphics card sales in the market.

It may come as a surprise, then, that the gaming giant is allocating further resources to its AI business. In fact, a new report reveals that Nvidia is set to cut RTX 50 series production as part of the same endeavor.

Why it matters: The RTX 50 series is already hard to find at MSRP several months after its release, so this decision will only make things worse.

As per a Board Channels leaker, Nvidia is prepared to enter full production of the upcoming GB300 chip. Moreover, the gaming giant intends to accelerate the production of existing chips like GB200 and the China-exclusive B40.

To ensure as many chips as possible are produced, the gaming giant is said to be reducing RTX 50 production by 20-30%. The impacts of this decision might not be apparent immediately, but could lead to additional shortages in the long run.

However, because the AI business is so profitable for Nvidia, this move will not hurt the company as much as it will hurt the consumers looking to buy a new gaming GPU.

Meanwhile, AMD is gearing up to release the RX 9060 XT, its latest mid-range gaming product. Equipped with 16GB of memory, this GPU could benefit from Nvidia’s production cut in the coming months.

Nvidia is also rumored to be working on a Super refresh for the RTX 50 series, so the gaming giant might eventually increase production in the future. If the rumors are to be believed, this lineup is expected to deliver slightly more capable GPUs and a lot more VRAM than the existing product stack.
