Although GPUs are mostly readily available right now, a new rumor hints that the supply of Nvidia cards might get worse soon enough.
It’s not a bad time to buy a GPU, but regardless of timing, you might need to act fast. A new rumor implies that a small GPU shortage might be on the way, with some of Nvidia ’s best graphics cards being affected, all due to issues with GDDR6X memory supplies. Fortunately, this shortage should hopefully be brief, and GDDR7 memory is entering production sooner than expected. That’s good news for the RTX 50-series.
Recommended Videos It appears that a batch of GDDR6X memory, made by Micron, failed to pass various quality checks. That’s pretty disastrous, as the entire batch is said to be good for nothing but being replaced. Take this with some skepticism, though, as it all appears to be a rumor — albeit from what seems to be a credible source.
IT Home says that we may run into some small shortages starting in August, but Nvidia is said to be on the ball and is reportedly “adopting a supply and demand balance strategy” in China. From the sound of it, the Chinese GPU market may be the most heavily affected by this, but still, there’s no harm in buying a GPU now if you’re planning on it. The prices are as low as they’re likely to get, with the next generation right around the corner — although perhaps later than we’d all expected.
