Nvidia to Stop Producing GeForce RTX3060 Graphics Card, RTX4060 to Take Over

TapTechNews August 4th news, it is reported that Nvidia is about to stop the production of the popular GeForce RTX3060 graphics card. As the inventory is gradually depleted, Nvidia will shift its focus to the RTX4060 series products.

The RTX3060, as one of Nvidia's best-selling graphics cards and also a star product in the Ampere architecture, is about to be discontinued. According to BoardChannels, Nvidia has informed its partners to stop the production of RTX3060. Currently, there is only the last batch of GPUs available for ordering, which means that the manufacturers who want to get this cost-effective graphics card need to place orders as soon as possible.

Although the report does not clearly indicate whether the 8GB or 12GB version of the RTX3060 will be discontinued, considering that both use the GA106 GPU core, it is expected that both versions will face discontinuation. Nvidia has informed multiple graphics card manufacturers to allocate the last batch of GPUs, and other manufacturers will receive the last batch of supply in the next few months.

But this does not mean that the RTX3060 will disappear from the market immediately, but will gradually decrease in the next few months. Due to the current abundant inventory of RTX3060 in various major retailers, there will still be a certain supply in the market after the graphics card manufacturers have stocked up on the last batch of RTX3060.

TapTechNews noticed that the RTX3060 is not only the sales champion of many retailers, but also the most popular graphics card in the Steam platform's July hardware survey. The popularity of this graphics card has increased by 0.22% compared to last month, and currently accounts for 5.71% of users. Although the data of the Steam hardware survey is not completely accurate, judging from the trend of the past few months, the RTX3060 has been firmly at the top, followed by other entry-level graphics cards such as the GTX1650 and the RTX3060Ti.
