Nvidia cuts RTX 4060 supply ahead of rumored RTX 5060 launch in March

Nvidia limits RTX 4060 supply, hinting at RTX 5060's March debut.

: Nvidia is reducing RTX 4060 supply to Asian AIC manufacturers, possibly by 60%, as the RTX 5060 series is expected to launch in March with models priced at $329 and $419. The upcoming RTX 5060 cards will retain 8-pin power connectors and require a 650W power supply. This shift aims to accommodate the new Blackwell architecture and its GDDR7 memory. Despite the significant supply cut, no notable price drops have occurred yet.

Nvidia has reportedly begun cutting the supply of RTX 4060 chips to its manufacturing partners in Asia by an estimated 60%. This move is seen as a precursor to the potential March release of the RTX 5060 series, part of Nvidia's upcoming Blackwell line. The reduction, mainly affecting Asian AIC brand manufacturers, is anticipated to extend globally in the near future.

The RTX 4060 range remains highly popular, especially among Steam participants, with desktop and laptop versions ranking prominently. Despite the significant supply cuts, there have been no substantial price drops, often a precursor to new product releases. However, these reductions might occur as Nvidia continues to clear inventories.

The forthcoming RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti models, rumored to cost $329 and $419, respectively, are expected to maintain the RTX 4060's standard 8-pin connectors. They will, however, require 650W power supplies due to the advanced power needs of the new architecture and are equipped with GDDR7 memory. Such improvements are anticipated to solidify the position of these new models in the competitive GPU market.
