Report: Nvidia to Revive RTX 3060 Production in Q1 2026 to Counter GPU Shortages

The claim ties the move to VRAM supply constraints that are expected to limit RTX 50‑series availability.

Overview

  • The leak, attributed to @hongxing2020 and reported by Wccftech, says Nvidia told partners it plans to restart RTX 3060 output early this year.
  • Nvidia has not confirmed the plan, and the report offers no details on which 3060 variants would return or how many units, where, or at what price.
  • Coverage links the reported restart to tightening DRAM and next‑gen VRAM supply, with the RTX 3060 using GDDR6 that may be easier to source than GDDR7.
  • Recent reporting suggests Nvidia could reduce RTX 50‑series production by as much as 30–40% in early 2026 due to memory constraints.
  • The RTX 3060, discontinued in 2024 after debuting in 2021, remains widely used, and Wccftech argues a sub‑$200 price would be needed to make a relaunch compelling.
