It's disappointing to see GPU manufacturers cutting supply for some of their GPUs, but thankfully, the higher VRAM capacity variant isn't affected.
NVIDIA Expected to Temporarily Halt Supply for RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB GPU for Two Weeks, Starting Late April
The uncertainty keeps affecting components that depend on DRAM and SSD or both. With increasing prices for DRAM and SSD components, many have revised the prices of their products multiple times. These include various consumer electronics, such as popular laptop series like the Microsoft Surface series, pre-built PCs, and graphics cards that have gone pricey in recent months due to high VRAM prices.
NVIDIA has been shifting its supply strategy to combat the situation, but unlike how it previously decided to focus more on the 8 GB GPUs, this time, the "overproduction" has led to some temporary halts in production of one of its RTX 50 series SKUs. We know from previous reports that NVIDIA was focusing more on the GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB than the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB, as the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB has a much higher demand than its 8 GB iteration. However, the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB was still selling decently due to a much lower price tag than the 16 GB version carries.
NVIDIA Confirms It Will Begin Tightening Supply Control on the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB Series

Earlier it was mentioned that among the RTX 50-series graphics cards, the main shipment volume currently comes from the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB models due to large earlier deliveries. It is now understood that NVIDIA will begin paying closer attention to supply control of this model.According to sources, NVIDIA has confirmed that during the last two weeks of April, it will fully suspend the supply of RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB GPU chips and will temporarily stop providing stock to AIC partners. The next supply resumption may occur in early May.
Therefore, NVIDIA has started intervening to regulate GPU supply. The supply volume of the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB series to AIC partners will not only shrink, but overall domestic availability will also drop significantly, and prices are expected to stop declining as a result. (Machine Translated)
As per the latest report by Board Channels, this is going to change in the coming weeks as NVIDIA is reportedly halting the supply of the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB cards for two weeks. This will take effect in late April, and for two weeks, vendors will likely have no choice but to depend on the existing RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB inventories. This may temporarily increase the prices of the GPU, but once the supply from NVIDIA resumes, we should see the prices and availability of RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB stabilizing.
Currently, there seems to be a large shipment volume for the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB, and to control the oversupply, NVIDIA is taking such measures temporarily. In first half of May, the supply of the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB GPUs will be resumed, but it appears that the GPU might sell for higher prices than it currently sells at.
