A rumor says that NVIDIA is finding it more profitable to make GPUs for artificial intelligence (AI). Because of this, the company is thinking about reducing the production of its GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards to make more AI GPUs instead. NVIDIA wants to maximize the money it makes from the products it sells. When it comes to earnings reports, investors care most about how much money the company has earned, not just how many products were sold.
Possible Effects on GeForce RTX 50 Availability and Prices
If NVIDIA decides to lower production, the stock of GeForce RTX 50 cards could go down a lot. If demand stays high while supply drops, prices for these graphics cards would likely increase significantly. When these cards first came out, their prices were very high, but over time, prices have lowered and are now more normal. Many models are priced near or even below their suggested retail price in some countries.
What This Could Mean for Consumers
If the worst predictions come true and NVIDIA cuts production of GeForce RTX 50 cards by 20% to 30%, availability will be much lower. This would likely cause prices to rise by 20% to 30% as well. If demand doesn’t go down, this situation could be difficult for buyers who want these graphics cards.
