RTX 5060 Production Cut Leak (Late January 2026):
Source 1: I [Distributor] just got done with multiple phone calls with AIBs – it sounds like the
5060 is done for the next 6 months. Everyone says that Nvidia vastly overbooked Al
sales, and therefore needs to pause almost all RTX 50 Series Production until at least
Q3 2026. The 5090, 5070 Ti, 5060 Ti 16GB, and 5060 will soon be unobtanium … and
the 5080, 5070, and 5060 Ti 8GB will trickle in with incredibly low volume.
Source 2: On Monday we [Major Retailer] were told that we should soon expect 5060 supply to
get worse until at least Q4. In fact, we were specifically told that the 5050 and
5060 Ti 8GB are going to be most of the volume through summer. Yes, there will be a
trickle of 5080s and 5070 supply … but not enough. Nvidia will "re-examine" in Q4.
Source 3: For the foreseeable future Nvidia's effectively only selling us [AIB] 5080, 5070, 5060
Ti 8GB, and 5050 kits. As for "why" Nvidia's effectively pausing 5060 production – it
all comes down to cost & RAM. The 5050 uses GDDR6, and the 5060 Ti uses the same
amount of GDDR7 as a 5060 – so they are preferable. Oh, and get ready for a ~30%
baseline price increase to GPUs imminently. Nvidia's raising BOM kit prices.
