Nvidia is beginning the process of ending production and distribution of its RTX 3060 cards. According to information from Board Channels, the GPU manufacturer has warned partner companies that we have reached the last chance to place orders for this model.
In other words, companies like Colorful and Palit must make their last orders for GPUs to assemble their RTX 3060 cards that are actually sold to the public. The image below shows a screenshot with the information obtained from the forum:
Since Board Channels is a Chinese platform, the post refers to Taiwanese manufacturers. However, the text highlights that Nvidia is on its “last wave for the RTX 3060 series,” which should affect AIB partners worldwide.
Currently, this is one of the most popular GeForce graphics card models in the world. In a recent Steam survey showing users’ builds, the RTX 3060 appears as the most used dedicated GPU of all, with almost 6% of PCs in July of this year.

It is important to understand, however, that users will still have a good amount of time to purchase this model of card. AIB partners will still take advantage of the last units of GPU stock to manufacture more units of the card, which will add to what is already available on store shelves worldwide. We can estimate at least a few months before availability decreases noticeably.
While the RTX 3060 leaves us, the 4060 grows
Nvidia’s decision to discontinue its last-generation entry-level GPU comes as the RTX 4060 is gaining popularity. In January of this year, it was reported that sales of the current, more affordable model of the card had grown.
The RTX 4060’s growth in popularity can also be seen on Steam. In the platform’s hardware and software survey results for July 2024, the model already appears in fifth place, in 3.47% of PCs. The number may not seem very large, but it is by far the GPU that has seen the greatest growth in the number of users over the last month, with 0.45% more.
