NVIDIA is planning major production cuts for its RTX 50 series graphics cards next year. Supply chain rumors indicate a potential thirty to forty percent reduction in supply for the first part of 2026. This stems from a long term shortage of memory chips, specifically GDDR7, creating a chain reaction.
The company apparently wants to avoid immediate price hikes for gamers. Instead, they will slash output to keep their supply chain stable. This means RTX 50 cards could become extremely scarce at retail. Gamers hoping for a new GPU next year might be out of luck, as NVIDIA's only planned releases are refreshed SUPER models.
This ongoing memory supercycle is wrecking the entire PC market. AIB partners are reportedly being forced to follow NVIDIA's lead on reduced production. No clear timeline exists for when DRAM supplies might recover, with the situation currently getting worse. Building or upgrading a PC is becoming a nightmare.
