- Nvidia RTX 5070 and 5060 GPUs are rumored to be delayed by a month
- Which means that in principle the RTX 5070 might not arrive till March, and the RTX 5060 in April
- Count on these GPUs to “promote out immediately” based on the supply of this rumor
Nvidia’s RTX 5060 and 5070 graphics playing cards would possibly undergo points with inventory, because the RTX 5080 and 5090 have already skilled – they usually may find yourself delayed on account of a scarcity of manufacturing capability.
TweakTown seen a put up on X from common leaker, Ming-Chi Kuo, who’s usually huge on Apple and phone-related rumors, but additionally has fingers in different {hardware} pies.
Avid gamers and energy customers are desirous to get the RTX 5090 and 5080, however chip provide constraints are inflicting shortages. Provide points will probably push again mass manufacturing of the RTX 5070/5060 from the unique Feb/Mar to Mar/Apr. Restricted provide means these two playing cards will promote out…February 12, 2025
Kuo acknowledges the present dire state of affairs for provide with the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 – GPUs that use the GB202 and GB203 Blackwell chips – and signifies that ongoing struggles with provide will push again the mass manufacturing of the RTX 5070 and RTX 5060.
Now, so far as these two nonetheless unreleased graphics playing cards go, we all know that Nvidia’s RTX 5070 fashions are due in February, so that is an assertion of a delay for the vanilla 5070 graphics card to March.
We haven’t formally heard something concerning the RTX 5060, however – not even its existence – however the GPU has been rumored for March beforehand, and Kuo is now claiming that these fashions can be pushed again to April. Go the seasoning at this level, as ever with these sorts of rumors.
Evaluation: Doom and gloom half… erm, I’ve misplaced rely
On the face of it, this actually isn’t excellent news for these – like myself – who’re keenly awaiting the arrival of extra reasonably priced graphics playing cards from Nvidia’s next-gen vary. The RTX 5080 is successfully out of my worth bracket – particularly given how asking costs have turned out in actuality, because of super-lean inventory ranges – and so it’s the RTX 5070 fashions I’m actually concerned about.
The glimmer of hope, akin to it’s, comes with the RTX 5070 Ti being rumored to nonetheless be on monitor for February. Evaluate embargoes are purportedly in place, and varied spillage suggests a launch on February 20, which is simply every week away now. However there’s a definite lack of any speak of the RTX 5070 vanilla taste on the rumor mill, which does certainly recommend that it could be on the again burner indirectly.
On prime of that, we’ve already heard a few rumors of a delay to March for the RTX 5070, and we are able to add this contemporary hypothesis right here to the rising pile.
Including all this up, speak of a delay actually makes some sense, and if Nvidia is struggling – to the purpose that “restricted provide means these two playing cards [RTX 5070 and 5060] will promote out immediately even when manufacturing stays on schedule” based on Kuo – nicely, that’s not wanting too intelligent now, is it?
It seems like a recipe for delays, and extra worth gouging and inventory washouts, notably contemplating the RTX 5070, and definitely the RTX 5060, are going to be the targets of much more would-be patrons contemplating they’re on the extra reasonably priced finish of the Blackwell spectrum. I’m additionally involved about what we’re now listening to concerning the pricing of the RTX 5070 Ti, in addition.
Whereas we have to be cautious to not get overly gloomy about these inbound launches from Nvidia, it’s getting more and more tough to keep away from doing so, as all of the rumors are slanted in the direction of the unfavorable facet of what could be, reasonably than something remotely constructive.
Though we do have AMD’s RDNA 4 launch to look ahead to, after all, in March, and perhaps Nvidia may very well be leaving the door open for Staff Crimson to spark the start of what could be fairly a GPU comeback right here. I assume stranger issues have occurred, and don’t overlook Intel both – Battlemage may have a ship within the mid-range seas, too.
