NVIDIA was revealed to have significantly reduced production of RTX 40 series graphics cards, and Huang Renxun announced that it will send out Blackwell samples this week

1. According to news on July 30, at the SIGGRAPH 2024 Summit held in Denver, USA yesterday, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced that it will start sending samples of the highly anticipated Blackwell architecture to customers this week. This news has attracted widespread attention in the industry and indicates that Nvidia is about to enter a new technological milestone.

2. However, according to the Economic Daily report yesterday, in preparation for the launch of Blackwell products, NVIDIA has significantly reduced the supply of consumer-grade graphics cards, with the highest reduction reaching 50%. This move has led to a supply shortage of graphics cards and may trigger a new round of price increases.
3. Affected by Nvidia’s production cuts, well-known manufacturers such as Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock are also considering adjusting graphics card prices. According to supply chain sources, Nvidia’s production cuts this time are mainly focused on the RTX 40 series of high-end graphics cards, especially the RTX 4070 and above products, which are out of stock.
4. As for the reasons for the production reduction, sources pointed out that there are two main factors. Nvidia needs to transfer some of its consumer-grade high-end graphics card production capacity to the production of Blackwell products to ensure the smooth launch of the new architecture. Secondly, the company has also begun to tighten the supply of RTX 40 series in preparation for the upcoming release of RTX 50 series graphics cards.
5. According to the editor’s understanding, Nvidia’s production capacity adjustments have begun to take shape as early as the first quarter of this year. At that time, mid-range graphics cards such as the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti began to experience supply shortages. Then in April, entry-level graphics cards such as RTX 4060, 3050 and GTX 1650 also began to increase in price. Nowadays, the price increase has spread to mid-to-high-end graphics cards such as RTX 4070, 4080, and 4090. -->
