NVIDIA Reduces GeForce RTX 4060 Supply by 60% as GPU Approaches End of Life (EOL)

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is reportedly facing a significant supply decrease, with its availability expected to dwindle as the market prepares for the upcoming RTX 5060 series GPUs.

NVIDIA’s Supply Cuts for GeForce RTX 4060: What You Need to Know

As the launch date for the RTX 5060 series approaches, anticipation grows, along with rumors of a reduced supply for the RTX 4060. While NVIDIA has not officially confirmed the discontinuation of the GeForce RTX 4060, sources indicate that the supply will be significantly curtailed in early 2025, with reports suggesting that the last shipments may occur in February.

According to a credible leaker on the IT Home forums, NVIDIA’s supply of the GeForce RTX 4060 could be slashed by a staggering 60% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. This leaker previously revealed that NVIDIA had stopped production of the RTX 4070 in January, with no restocks planned. They also indicated that the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti are set to follow a similar trajectory and reach end-of-life status within the first quarter of the year.

The RTX 4070 has already vanished from retail shelves, often appearing at exorbitant prices in secondary markets. Similarly, the RTX 4070 Super is also becoming increasingly hard to find at its recommended retail price. In contrast, the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti are still available at their original prices, but their supply is rapidly diminishing.

With the shipment of these GPUs reportedly reduced by 60%, a scarcity in the market is probable, leading to potential price hikes for consumers. The RTX 4060 serves as NVIDIA’s budget-friendly option within the Ada lineup, priced at $300. In contrast, the RTX 4060 Ti comes in two variants—8 GB priced at $400 and the 16 GB variant at $500. The discontinuation of the RTX 4070 is likely paving the way for the RTX 5070 launch, which will coincide with the phasing out of the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti.

Speculation surrounding the upcoming RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 suggests that they will be priced slightly higher than their predecessors. Reports indicate that these GPUs will continue to utilize the same 8-pin power connectors but will exhibit increased power consumption. A March launch for these models is anticipated, suggesting that the current RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 inventories will be severely limited as the date approaches.
