Nvidia Ends Supply of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Chips, Say Chinese Sources

Nvidia graphics card makers, sometimes referred to as add-in-board (AIB) partners, are in the middle of a big changeover, according to sources speaking to China's Benchlife. The tech site confirmed with its AIB sources that production of RTX 4060 family graphics cards was ramping up. It sought this confirmation after Chinese tech BBS sources indicated that Nvidia had "stopped supplying GeForce RTX 3060 Ti chips."

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has had a good run as a midrange GPU contender and currently sits at number 22 in our GPU benchmarks hierarchy for rasterization performance, and number 19 for ray tracing performance. It scored well in reviews when it debuted in early 2021, with the main dampener being its availability at anything close to its official $399 MSRP — this was during the peak crypto-craze of 2020–2022, in case you've been trying to wipe that time period from your memory. There were also modest concerns about potential limits from having just 8GB of VRAM, which still remain and will likewise apply to future 8GB cards.

The RTX 3060 Ti is no longer on our current list of the best graphics cards for gaming, mostly due to updates that have introduced newer models like the RTX 4070. With the touted imminent arrival of the RTX 4060 series, expected to offer regular and Ti SKUs in both 8GB and 16GB VRAM models, it seems right to divert any RTX 3060 Ti resources to producing the faster and more efficient latest generation products.

  • With the RTX 4060 family launch purportedly so close, there may be a chance to get one of the RTX 3060 Ti cards at a good discount.

    This might be irrelevant for most of us, since this an Asia/CHINA-exclusive offer, as of now. But as per a report from MyDrivers, NVIDIA's AIB partners have started slashing prices across the board for the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards.

    Maybe this will effect the global economy and prices as well, but we don't know yet. GALAX in particular has dropped the price of its 3060 Ti by up to 700 RMB which is around $100 US less than MSRP.

    Colorful has also been offering discounts but not as significant as GALAX. Their price cuts have been in the range of 15-100 RMB across multiple RTX & GTX mainstream cards.
