NVIDIA Pauses RTX 5060 Ti 8GB Production Amid Oversupply

NVIDIA is reportedly halting production of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB for two weeks at the end of April 2026 due to oversupply concerns. According to Board Channels reports via Gazlog, the pause will affect third-party GPU vendors who won't receive new inventory during this period. Production is expected to resume in May.

This temporary halt comes as prices for the entry-level RTX 5060 series have been declining due to excess inventory. Industry speculation suggests NVIDIA may be creating artificial scarcity to drive prices back up to previous levels. The timing is particularly interesting given recent rumors about NVIDIA potentially launching a new 9GB variant of the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti around Computex in May or June.

While the production pause appears to be a strategic move to manage inventory and pricing, it's worth noting that these reports remain unconfirmed rumors. Board Channels has a track record of accurate leaks, but nothing is official until NVIDIA makes an announcement. The graphics card market continues to experience unusual supply dynamics as NVIDIA navigates the competitive landscape.
