The majority of the GeForce RTX 40 Series are no longer in production as NVIDIA frees up its production facilities for other GPUs, including the GeForce RTX 50 Series, which is on track for launch this January, according to a new report. GPUs that are affected include the AD102, AD103, AD104, and AD106, with the AD107 line said to be the only one that remains operational. Some of the GPUs that the AD107 powers include the GeForce RTX 4050 and GeForce RTX 4060 (mobile).
NVIDIA’s latest RTX50 series GPU will be launched on time in January and will not be delayed any further, which means that the RTX40 series has entered the final stage of inventory clearance, with only about 2 months left. NVIDIA’s real RTX40 GPU production line capacity has long been gradually transferred to RTX50 GPU production, and the main production line has been fully transferred, so the RTX40 GPU is now in the final stage of inventory clearance.
According to the latest news from upstream internal sources, NVIDIA has completely withdrawn the AD106 production line, and the production capacity has been fully transferred to the RTX50 series production line, with only the AD107 production line temporarily retained. Therefore, the RTX40 series GPU has entered the final quarter of inventory clearance, and the RTX40 mid-to-high-end series GPU has gradually stopped production and supply, and product switching has been accelerated. The supply of AIC brand manufacturers in the future market will become less and less.

Err... well... maybe not.
Yeah, and the sad truth is that scalpers are likely to get nearly all of the first batches of 50 series when they launch so things could get pretty rough for any hoping to upgrade between now and spring-summer.
For those not completely obsessed with performance vs next-gen and holding onto 20 series or older, I do recommend taking a look at either 4080 SUPER or 4070 Ti SUPER. Both have the same die/mem with different speeds and can still be found on Amazon at, or below MSRP, $999 or $799 respectively. Both cards can do significant 4K gaming but excel at 1440p while using RT with or without DLSS. On the other hand, I think there's been some good 7900XT and 7900XTX deals as well at $889 and $689 respectively.
