The new report comes from .@hongxing2020, who has a solid track record with NVIDIA GPU updates and production plans. The user states that, as per the latest update on 5th January, NVIDIA has updated its partners that the RTX 3060 is coming back in Q1 2026. There's no detail on whether both the 12 GB / 8 GB models or one of those will be produced, but the RTX 3060 is going to be made available on retail shelves once again.
This indicates the extent to which the DRAM shortages have affected consumer GPUs. The GeForce RTX 5060 makes use of GDDR7 memory, and as DRAM costs rise, the RTX 5060 might not only be affected in terms of pricing but also in supply, since procuring the memory is also an issue due to poor supply. The 60-series product family is made for mass consumption, so NVIDIA will have to offer some alternative to its partners.
WE ARE SO BACK!
Thanks OpenAI, very based.
