- Nvidia has supposedly encountered performance problems with chips for your RTX 5070 and 5060
- This has meant that these GPUs have been theoretically delayed for a month
- As a result, initial stock levels of RTX 5070 can be thin on the ground
We are listening to more rumors about the RTX 5070 and 5060 NVIDIA GPUs delaying and finding problems with production, as well as suffering possibly low stock levels in the launch (once again).
Videocardz noticed a publication about X from the analyst Dan Nystedt, who marked a report by Commercial Times, a Taiwanese media, which makes several statements about Nvidia have problems with the aforementioned GPUs.
The last series of NVIDIA RTX50 games graphics cards faces delays until mid -March as soon as possible due to the performance problems in the chips, RTX5070 and 5060, which should be purged, informing the media, while the damage of The Taiwan earthquake wafer of January 26 is also a key factor in the …February 20, 2025
Apparently, the Blackwell chips used in RTX 5060 and 5070 (known as GB205 in the last case, and rumorea, GB206 for the first) suffered performance problems that required last -minute approach. And the need for that additional perfection at the end of the day has “delayed the mass production program” (keep in mind that this is an article translated from the Chinese).
Commercial Times also points out that the “Tainan earthquake interrupted the production of TSMC wafers”, which is designed by Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, so this has aggravated supply problems, they tell us.
The report states that the final result of all this is that the mass production of the RTX 5070 and 5060 (remember, the last GPU has not officially confirmed by Nvidia) has been delayed in about four weeks.
The theory presented is that NVIDIA previously had objectives from mid -February so that the RTX 5070 production lines work with the complete inclination already mid -March for the RTX 5060, but that schedule has now moved away in mid -March and mid -April respectively.
Analysis: a theoretical but depressingly credible scenario
What does all this mean in practice? Well, maybe nothing, after all, is just a lot of rumors, but the fact is that he marries other speculation that suggests almost the same: a delay from February/March to March/April. (That came from one of the most reliable sources for hardware -related gossip too).
In addition to that, I know with certainty that RTX 5070 has been delayed: Nvidia originally announced that this GPU and its IT partner would go on sale in February. And although the RTX 5070 TI is now out of planned place, the Vanilla RTX 5070 version in fact has returned to a date for sale of March 5. (It is worth noting that the IT uses a different Blackwell chip, GB203, instead of GB205 on the 5070 plain, so the chip performance problems mentioned would not apply to the first, since that chip has already been put in RTX 5080).
In addition, as you have noticed, the RTX 5070 TI has gone on sale today, but the shares have disappeared almost instantly. If you get a GPU, congratulations, you were lucky (and if you are still hunting, see our guide on where to buy 5070 ti).
If the production of RTX 5070 is staying behind as rumored, and Nvidia, after having pushed the GPU, makes things unstable here, then we can completely expect a thin supply level and the same stock of flicker Scenario with RTX 5070.
Everything is depressingly credible too. Let me say it in this way: do you think that when RTX 5070 is available to buy in early March, there will be many actions? No, either, although, of course, I could be very wrong (and nothing would please me, frankly, since I might want to buy one of these graphics cards).
As for RTX 5060, we do not know if this GPU will arrive soon, since Nvidia has not said anything officially, but the rumor factory recognizes that it is due in the near future. However, if this speculation is correct, we are now looking at mid -April, so the graphics card is still a couple of months away (in theory).
The most positive news presented with this report by Comerccial Times is that NVIDIA is apparently “doing everything possible to accelerate production for Blackwell GPUs and re -track everything, and analysts believe that the mediocre supply will gradually improve in the future.
Hopefully, this will not become a long -term history of biased supply and demand, with severely uploaded prices, as we have seen in the past.
