NVIDIA To Bring Back The GeForce RTX 3060 In Q1 2026 To Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages
Key Points:
- NVIDIA plans to resume production of its GeForce RTX 3060 GPUs in Q1 2026 due to ongoing DRAM shortages impacting the supply of newer models like the RTX 5060.
- The RTX 3060, originally launched in 2021 and still popular among gamers, was discontinued earlier in 2024 but is expected to return to retail shelves to meet demand.
- Supply chain issues with GDDR7 memory for the RTX 5060 have driven NVIDIA to consider the RTX 3060 as a more viable option for mass-market consumers.
- It remains unclear whether the 12 GB, 8 GB, or both variants of the RTX 3060 will be produced, but pricing below $200 is anticipated
