Recent reports have claimed that Nvidia intends to reduce its production capacity for GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs in the first half of 2026. These cuts are reportedly due to shortages of memory, not just GDDR7, but all memory types.
30-40% of Nvidia’s GeForce GPU production could be axed. This implies that Nvidia cannot get enough GDDR7 memory to produce GPUs at its current rate. Alternatively, it implies that Nvidia expects significantly reduced GPU sales in 2026, possibly due to rising NAND and DRAM costs and their impact on PC prices.
Note that there is no mention of non-GeForce RTX PRO series GPUs. If GDDR7 memory supply is indeed limited, Nvidia may be allocating its limited memory stocks to its more profitable RTX PRO GPU lineup, sacrificing its GeForce lineup.
According to a report from China’s BoBantang , NVIDIA will adjust the GPU production capacity of its GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards in 2026 to address memory shortages. The article mentions that compared to the first half of 2025, NVIDIA plans to reduce supply by 30-40% in the same period of 2026.

Benchlife has claimed that Nvidia plans to start its cuts by targeting its RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and RTX 5070 Ti. Targeting the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB makes sense, as this GPU has the same amount of memory as an RTX 5080, a much more expensive GPU. The same is true for the RTX 5070 Ti. It’s memory could also be used for more profitable RTX 5080 GPUs.
If this is true, Nvidia wants to allocate its memory to its most profitable products. This makes sense from a business perspective. However, this tactic will hit consumers hard. Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is a much better product than its 8GB counterpart. Why? It has enough VRAM to run modern games without compromises. Nvidia’s shift in production will force more consumers to purchase their 8GB GPU models.
In addition to the news from BoBantang, several AIC partners and component suppliers have also mentioned to us that NVIDIA will be the first to adjust the supply of GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GDDR7.

En cristiano, una fuente dice que Nvidia podria recortar entre un 30 y 40% la produccion de GPUs de la familia Geforce a principios del año que viene debido a los problemas de escasez de RAM.
Cogedlo un poco con pinzas porque la fuente original es un foro chino que esta detras de 17 firewalls asi que lo mismo es un rumor lanzado al aire, pero viendo que hay otros sectores afectados por el mismo problema tiene bastantes papeletas de acabar ocurriendo.
