Nvidia Faces Potential RTX 40 Series GPU Shortage
Production cuts and memory supply issues may impact availability and prices of popular models
- Nvidia is reportedly reducing RTX 40 series GPU production by up to 50% in preparation for the upcoming RTX 50 series.
- A failed batch of GDDR6X memory modules is causing temporary supply constraints for models like the RTX 4070 and RTX 4090.
- Suppliers are shifting focus to AI chip manufacturing, further limiting GPU production capacity.
- Price hikes are expected for affected RTX 40 series GPUs due to reduced availability.
- The situation is anticipated to be short-term, with normal supply levels resuming soon.
