NVIDIA to Discontinue GeForce GTX 16 Series GPUs by Q1 2024

The move marks the end of the GTX branding, leaving a gap in the sub-$200 price bracket.

NVIDIA is reportedly planning to discontinue the production of its GeForce GTX 16 series GPUs by Q1 2024, marking the end of the GTX branding.
The GTX 16 series, which includes popular models like the GTX 1660 SUPER, GTX 1650, and GTX 1630, have been favored by gamers for their affordability and decent performance.
The discontinuation will leave the RTX 3050 as the lowest-specced card in NVIDIA's product range, creating a gap in the sub-$200 price bracket.
The GTX 16 series GPUs lack features like Ray Tracing, DLSS, AV1, which have become standard in the NVIDIA GeForce ecosystem.
Existing GeForce GTX stock will continue to be sold until inventories run out, and prices are expected to fall significantly over the coming months.
