NVIDIA plans to reduce GeForce RTX 50 series GPU production by up to 40% in the first half of 2026 due to supply chain constraints involving memory components and market adjustments, potentially affecting specific models like the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB.
NVIDIA has shifted its production focus to the next-generation GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs, marking the end of the RTX 40 "Ada" series production. The RTX 50 series is set to launch in January, with the RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 models leading the lineup. As production transitions, the RTX 40 series will see inventory clearance and limited supply. NVIDIA's board partners are preparing for the new lineup, with engineering samples already in evaluation. The official unveiling is expected at CES 2025.
Rumors suggest that the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 50 GB202 GPU, built on the Blackwell architecture, will feature a 384-bit memory bus and integrate GDDR7 memory, providing a significant boost in bandwidth. The flagship gaming processor is expected to have a configuration of 192 SM and potentially 24,567 CUDA cores. The release date is unclear, but it is speculated to be within a similar timeframe as the B100 and GB200 graphics accelerators, which are set to launch between 2024-2025.
