Most popular graphics card on Steam: Nvidia RTX 3060 reportedly to be discontinued

According to news from this site on August 4, it is reported that Nvidia is about to stop producing the popular GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. As inventory gradually depletes, Nvidia will shift its focus to the RTX 4060 series.

RTX 3060, one of Nvidia’s best-selling graphics cards and the star product of the Ampere architecture, is about to be discontinued. According to Board Channels, Nvidia has informed its partners that it will stop producing the RTX 3060. Only the last batch of GPUs are currently available for order, which means manufacturers who want to get their hands on this cost-effective graphics card will need to place their orders as soon as possible.

Although the report does not clearly indicate whether the 8GB or 12GB version of the RTX 3060 will be discontinued, considering that both use the GA106 GPU core, both versions are expected to face discontinuation. Nvidia has notified several graphics card manufacturers to allocate the final batch of GPUs, and other manufacturers will receive the final batch of supplies in the coming months.

But this does not mean that the RTX 3060 will disappear from the market immediately, but will gradually decrease in the coming months. Since there are still sufficient stocks of RTX 3060 at major retailers, there will still be a certain supply on the market after graphics card manufacturers prepare the last batch of RTX 3060 inventory.

This website noticed that RTX 3060 is not only the sales champion of many retailers, but also the most popular graphics card in the July hardware survey on the Steam platform. The card's popularity increased by 0.22% from last month and currently accounts for 5.71% of users. While the data from the Steam Hardware Survey isn't entirely accurate, looking at trends over the past few months, the RTX 3060 has been firmly at the top of the list, followed closely by other entry-level cards like the GTX 1650 and RTX 3060 Ti.
