Gamers may finally be catching a break. According to a new leak, Nvidia is flooding retailers with RTX 50 series GPUs, marking what could be the biggest restock yet. Cards like the RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, and 5060 Ti 16GB are reportedly shipping in bulk after months of scarcity.
RTX 50 restock includes 10x the usual shipments
Moore’s Law Is Dead, a known leaker in the GPU space, reports that one major retailer received about ten times its usual RTX 50 allocation last week. That includes shipments of RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, 5060 Ti 16GB, and a small batch of RTX 5080s. Notably absent? The much-maligned RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB.
Multiple locations reportedly confirmed similar boosts in inventory, some receiving hundreds of GPUs instead of the usual couple of dozen. It’s not just one lucky store. This looks systemic.
AMD has achieved a major transformation in graphics cards with the RDNA 4 graphics architecture. So what does it offer?
RTX 50 overstock could drive prices down
If this trend holds, gamers might finally see prices drop closer to MSRP. Over the past year, stock shortages and artificial markups have soured the GPU market. The RTX 50 series, especially, has been hard to find without a premium or bundled into a pricey pre-built.
More stock means more competition. And if Nvidia keeps the supply flowing, we could see the first major correction in GPU pricing since the start of the AI boom.
RTX 5060 Ti 8GB snubbed again
While the RTX 50 restock sounds like good news overall, one model is being left out: the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB. Retailers say they didn’t receive any units, and that’s no surprise. The card was slammed by reviewers for its limited VRAM and poor performance compared to its 16GB sibling.
Speculation suggests Nvidia may be rerouting those weaker cards to system builders, where they can be sold as part of pre-configured rigs, not as standalones. Either way, gamers probably aren’t missing much.
RTX 50 restock timing could reset the market
If the leak holds true, this restock could be a turning point, not just for RTX 50 cards, but for the entire midrange GPU segment. With AMD preparing its next-gen lineup and Nvidia pushing out more units, competition is heating up.
For now, it’s a waiting game. But for gamers who’ve held off on upgrading, the RTX 50 flood might be just what the market needed.
