NVIDIA is likely to delay the release of GeForce RTX 4000 graphics cards due to the surplus of RTX 3000
It seems that the crisis in the cryptocurrency market will affect the video card market more than previously predicted. In addition to the sale of graphics cards by miners, we can also expect the release of the GeForce RTX 4000 series to be postponed to a later date.
With many miners flooding the market with used GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards, as well as a decrease in demand for new units, a surplus of GeForce RTX 3000 graphics cards has formed. To make matters worse, the fact that manufacturing partners have not yet transferred some units to retail channels sales Thus, the offer will increase even more. And in the conditions of the impending crisis and the lack of interest in the purchase of video cards by miners, the demand will remain low.
In such conditions, it is irrational to bring a new line of video cards to the market. Its competition will be devices of the previous generation. This will affect NVIDIA as well as manufacturers and retailers.
According to knowledgeable sources, in such a situation, NVIDIA is likely to postpone the release of GeForce RTX 4000 series video cards from October to December. At the same time, the company may announce the GeForce RTX 4090 model, but there may be problems with the actual purchase until December. But it is also impossible to delay the release of new products too much, so as not to pass on the initiative to AMD with its new devices based on the RDNA 3 architecture.
