If you’re in the market for one of NVIDIA’s more powerful GeForce RTX 20 Series graphics cards, you may want to grab one straight away. Chinese website IT Home is reporting that RTX 2070, RTX 2070 SUPER, RTX 2080 SUPER, and RTX 2080 Ti production has been discontinued. Assuming this is even true, let’s pour one out for the generation that brought ray-traced effects to the masses!
“According to news from Juxun Gate on Thursday, due to insufficient output, NVIDIA’s high-end graphics cards may face serious shortages in the follow-up,” IT Home wrote. “NVIDIA had suggested to try to increase prices at the beginning of the month, mainly due to rising mining demand and insufficient chip supply. In addition, due to the impact of TSMC’s insufficient production capacity, the subsequent high-end RTX 2080 Super and RTX 2080 Ti may be out of stock.”
IT Home also claims that the GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti will be released on September 17. “In addition, as the next-generation product RTX 30 series is about to come out, in accordance with established practice, the existing RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti will be gradually withdrawn from the market, which may also lead to an increase in product out-of-stock prices.”
