Claims that Nvidia’s popular graphics card GeForce RTX 3060 will be discontinued dropped like a bomb on the agenda. According to Steam data, RTX 3060, which is very popular among players, attracted attention with its affordable price and performance. However, it seems that the saying that every good thing has an end is also valid here. According to insider information, Nvidia is preparing to stop production of this popular graphics card.

Why is GeForce RTX 3060 production being halted?

As reported by Tom’s Hardware, this information came from an administrator of the Bobatang forum. According to what the administrator described as “accurate information”, Nvidia has issued a last call to manufacturers looking to buy the GeForce RTX 3060.

Fortunately, even if this rumor is true, it doesn’t mean that RTX 3060 cards will immediately disappear from stores. Nvidia allows sales for a few more months after announcing the discontinuation of a graphics card. So even if this information is true, there’s still time to buy an RTX 3060. But as always, it’s important not to take this kind of information for granted without official confirmation. Even if the insider’s information is correct, it might not turn out as expected.

The discontinuation of the RTX 3060 would be a big deal. If you look at Steam’s hardware survey for graphics cards, you’ll see that the GeForce RTX 3060 is ahead of the rest with 5.88 percent market share. The only graphics card that comes close is the GTX 1650 with 4 percent market share.

This shows how popular the RTX 3060 is among gamers and how well it is appreciated for its performance. Nvidia’s decision to discontinue this popular model is likely to affect many gamers. If you’ve been thinking about buying an RTX 3060, you might want to act fast.
