NVIDIA announces the end of production of the popular RTX 3060 series of graphics cards, which may lead to significant changes in the GPU market in the coming months.
End of an era for the RTX 3060
Last chance for manufacturers
According to Board Channels, NVIDIA has notified its partners of the last opportunity to place orders for the RTX 3060 series chips. Companies like Colorful and Palit have already received this message, indicating that this popular line of graphics cards will soon cease production .
Market Impact
It is important to note that the consequences of this decision will not be immediate. The process of completing final orders and delivering batches will take several months. Even after the RTX 3060 production stops, NVIDIA will continue to send ordered cards to partners, who, in turn, will sell them through retail chains. Real changes in the market can only appear after a certain time.
Legacy RTX 3060
Released in February 2021, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 has become one of the most sought-after graphics cards. According to Steam statistics, 5.9% of gamers use it. The model was initially equipped with 12 GB of memory, and later a version with 8 GB appeared as a more affordable alternative to the RTX 4060. It is assumed that production of both modifications will be discontinued. There is no information yet about the fate of other models in the NVIDIA RTX 30xx series.

Wow! The RTX 3060 is becoming a thing of history. I wonder what NVIDIA is preparing to replace it? 🤔
Sophie
Liam, I heard they are focusing on the RTX 40 series. But honestly my 3060 Ti still handles all games great 💪
Giovanni
Sophie, I agree! I also have a 3060 and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. Although, I admit, the 4060 Ti looks tempting 😅
Klaus
Ha! Another trick of marketers. Why are these endless updates needed? My GTX 970 still works without problems. All these new cards are a waste of money.
Amelia
Klaus, I understand your position, but progress does not stand still. New technologies open up new possibilities in games and work. Although I agree that you don’t always need to chase the latest innovations 🤷♀️
Pierre
Amelia, you're right. I recently upgraded from 1060 to 3060 and the difference is huge! Especially in games with ray tracing 🌟 Klaus, maybe it's worth a try?
Isabella
Pierre, I completely agree! The RTX 3060 is a great card. I wonder how long it will remain relevant? 🤔 I hope a couple more years for sure!
Liam
Isabella, I think 3060 will be relevant for a long time. But I'm more interested in what will happen to the prices? 💰 Maybe it’s worth buying now before the price goes up?
