Nvidia Could Slash GeForce RTX 50 Production by up to 40% Next Year
Nvidia plans to reduce production of midrange GeForce RTX 50 GPUs by up to 40% in early 2026 due to global memory shortages and competing data center demand.
- Next year, WCCFTech reports Nvidia could trim Blackwell gaming GPU production by 30-40%, with CEO Jensen Huang stating Nvidia has 'done a really good job planning our supply chain.'
- Amid a global memory and SSD shortage, Nvidia faces squeezed supply from global memory and SSD suppliers while data center clients and partners with fewer supplies pressure consumer GPU availability.
- Benchlife says midrange models like the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB would be hit first, hamstringing higher-fidelity gaming and complicating purchases for mainstream PC builders.
- WCCFTech notes that Nvidia is trying to avoid price hikes while partners with fewer supplies may seek higher margins and AMD reportedly plans GPU price increases of 10% or more next year.
- Reports that began on Chinese Board Channel forums and moved to WCCFTech and Benchlife show the RTX 50 Super refresh may be delayed by shortages of 3GB GDDR7 VRAM modules.

Nvidia could slash GeForce RTX 50 production by up to 40% next year
According to unconfirmed reports from Board Channels, Nvidia is considering cutting production of RTX 50 series GPUs by 30 to 40% during the first half of 2026. The decision is likely driven by memory shortages, which could make some cards nearly as difficult to find as they were at launch.Read Entire Article
NVIDIA plans to drastically reduce the production of its future GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards in 2026. A decrease of 30 to 40% is mentioned, a direct consequence of a global memory shortage that affects the entire sector. Mid-range models, such as the RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti, would be the first to be affected by this strategic decision.
Global GPU Prices to Surge? Nvidia RTX 50 Production Cuts Spark Chaos Ahead of 2026
Nvidia will slash GeForce RTX 50 series GPU production by 30-40% starting early 2026, with mid-range models like the RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti, and even potential RTX 5060 variants bearing the brunt of these deep cuts amid crippling global shortages of GDDR7 memory and DRAM components. This aggressive reduction stems from overwhelming demand for high-margin AI and data center GPUs, which are siphoning off critical memory resources away from consumer…
Nvidia will reduce its production of GPU for video games by 30 to 40% from 2026, due to shortages affecting several types of memory, including GDDR7, due to the AI bubble. According to Benchlife, Nvidia should reduce GPU GeForce production by 30 to 40%. These reductions would be linked to shortages affecting several types of memory, including GDDR7, rather than a single component. Nvidia would be preparing to reduce the production of its GPU GeF…
