NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Production Pause Rumored Amid Oversupply
Recent industry rumors suggest that NVIDIA may temporarily halt production of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB graphics card for two weeks at the end of April 2026. According to reports from Gazlog, this short-term production pause is attributed to an oversupply of entry-level GPUs, which has led to declining prices for the RTX 5060 series.
Impact on GPU Supply and Pricing
During this reported production halt, third-party graphics card manufacturers are expected to experience a brief interruption in their supply of RTX 5060 Ti GPUs. Production is anticipated to resume in May 2026. Industry analysts believe that this move is intended to address the current oversupply, potentially stabilizing or increasing prices by creating temporary scarcity in the market.
This development follows earlier speculation from early 2026, which suggested a much longer production pause for both the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti models. However, those predictions did not fully materialize. The current rumor points to a more limited and targeted pause, specifically affecting the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB variant.
Potential Launch of New RTX 5060 Variants
The timing of this rumored production pause is notable, as it coincides with reports that NVIDIA may introduce new 9 GB versions of the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti around Computex in May or June 2026. The introduction of these new variants could further influence market dynamics and pricing for the RTX 5060 series.
It is important to note that these reports remain unconfirmed and should be regarded as industry speculation. While leaks from sources such as Board Channels are often considered credible within the hardware community, official confirmation from NVIDIA has not been provided at this time.
