As it’s been some time since the release of the Ada generation now, we expect to be seeing the next-gen coming soon enough. That seems to be coming soon, as there are rumors that NVIDIA is significantly reducing the supply of the RTX 40 series to its board partners.
As WCCFTech reports, the rumor started from Gigglehd with the information coming from South Korean industry experts at the Danawa Festival. Although it is an unconfirmed rumor and might not be entirely true bust since we do expect the RTX 50 series release to be coming at the end of the year, it might not be a stretch for it to happen. That means the best GPUs now that Nvidia has to offer will be slowly coming to an end.
Where the extra supply is going
Even though the shipment might be declining, Nvidia will still have the Ada chips in supply so it needs to recuperate its costs. Since the current gaming, Nvidia GPUs aren’t exactly too in demand there’s a better more profitable place to put those valuable chips.
The rumors suggest it will free up inventory space for the coming Blackwell generation. Whilst it will keep the pricing of the RTX 40 series the same it might continue to drop the prices in offers to try and move some more inventory anyway.
Instead, it is expected that Nvidia will recoup the costs by moving the chips to its more profitable business in AI. As we’ve seen the boom in demand it can shift the 40 series chips to H100 cards instead. Hopefully that’ll make the current Ada cards a bit more worth it with the prices falling down and bring something more exciting with the 50 seires. Although will Nvidia bother as much considering how well their AI sector is going.
