When Nvidia presented the RTX 50 to CES in Las Vegas at the beginning of 2025, it also announced its availability of the market. The first models to arrive were the RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080Available since January 30, although in very limited units which, as expected, encouraged resale at exorbitant prices.
THE RTX 5070 Y RTX 5070 of They will be launched at the end of this month. Regarding the RTX 5060, the base range of this new RTX 50 series is expected for Mars. With the launch of a new generation of graphics, Nvidia modifies the production lines to adapt to new models, ceasing to manufacture the previous models.
At the end of 2024, Nvidia ceased to manufacture the RTX 4090 Y RTX 4080 To start the manufacture of RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. At the beginning of January, find the stock of the RTX 4070 It was very complicated and right now is an impossible mission. Now he has touched the Tour of the RTX 4060, a graph which is about to disappear from the production lines of Nvidia as they say of Ithome.
NVIDIA reduces the production of RTX 4060 by 60%
According to a well -known filter on this website, NVIDIA plans to considerably reduce the manufacture of RTX 4060 from 60% compared to the same period last year, confirming that the end of the life cycle on the market of this model is planned For the first quarter.
If you go around the possibility of buying the RTX 4060, you should not take many turns, because availability will be reduced in the coming weeks and its price will increase because it has occurred in recent months when the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 I left the production line, although I did not understand the reason.
If a model to stop being manufactured, it is normal for its price to fall for retailers to get rid of all the actions available to accommodate the new model, however, it seems that the graphics card market works differently.
Is it worth buying the RTX 4060 now?
If you have followed the prices of RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 TI, you will have noticed how its price started to increase at the end of 2024. In October, we could find many models for around 270-280 dollars. Currently, the same models are marketed between 320 and 350 dollars and there is no reason to wait for its price to drop.
The new RTX 5060s and RTX 5060 TI, as we have said, will reach the market throughout the market and will be more expensive than the previous generation. If we take into account that the RTX 5070 reaches the market by 654 dollars For the Founders Edition version, the new NVIDIA entrance should be between 450 and 500 dollars.
This represents around 100 to 150 dollars more than the price currently has the RTX 4060. If you have planned to extend the useful lifespan of your next graph, for this price difference, the ideal will be to wait for new models . Or wait for the new AMD RX 9000 series This will reach the market in early March, before the RTX 5060.
