NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards haven’t been impossible to find, with even the hotly desired GeForce RTX 4090 flagship popping in and out of stock every few days at popular retailers that include Newegg, but regardless, it seems that prospective owners who want an Ada Lovelace upgrade sooner rather than later will need to keep their efforts up. According to the latest rumors picked up by China’s MyDrivers, the supply of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs won’t be getting any easier to find in the immediate future, with supplies said to be very limited for February and potentially the months ahead. The report also suggests that NVIDIA will be slashing the price of the GeForce RTX 4080 in the near future, something that was teased back in December, while the GeForce RTX 3070 will be gradually discontinued in favor of its Titanium-grade counterpart.
From a MyDrivers report (machine translation):
According to the latest news from the channel, in February this year, the supply of NVIDIA RTX 40 series GPUs will be very limited, which will not be able to meet the needs of major AIC brand manufacturers as a whole.
In fact, the three new products released in the new series, RTX 4090, RTX 4080, and RTX 4070 Ti, will all be in a state of tight supply.
But to what extent the shortage will be, when it will be relieved, and why this situation will occur is still unknown for the time being.
It is worth mentioning that the RTX 4080 may have a price cut in the near future. After all, it has been unpopular since it was launched, and the current sales pace is relatively slow. Of course, whether it can come true depends on how Lao Huang decides.
At the same time, the sales of RTX 4090 and RTX 4070 Ti are relatively stable, and the short-term price will not fluctuate too much, especially the RTX 4070 Ti shipments are basically in short supply, accounting for 8% of the overall shipments.
