Nvidia Reportedly Combatting GPU Shortages By Bringing Back Discontinued Graphics Card

With GPU prices continuing to rise and availability becoming a major problem, there’s talk that Nvidia may bring back a hardware line they stopped making before.

Nvidia is expected to start making the GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card again soon, according to Wccftech. This move is intended to address a shortage of RAM, which is being worsened by growing demand from artificial intelligence development and rising memory costs.

The tech news site Wccftech is reporting that Nvidia might re-release the RTX 3060 graphics card in early 2026. This information comes from a reliable source on Twitter, @hongxing2020, who often shares accurate news about Nvidia’s production plans. They posted about this possibility on January 5th.

Starting in the latter part of 2025, the price of graphics cards (GPUs) increased significantly due to a surge in demand from tech companies investing heavily in artificial intelligence. These companies require a lot more processing power, so manufacturers like Nvidia are prioritizing supplies for them. This has left fewer GPUs available for consumers building PCs, driving up prices for gamers and hobbyists – a trend many have likely noticed while shopping for components.

Early in 2026, reports surfaced that AMD and Nvidia, leading graphics card manufacturers, were planning significant price increases for their GPUs. While some predicted increases seem extreme, consumers should expect to pay more for graphics cards – and likely other memory components – throughout the year.

Honestly, I’m hoping those rumors about Nvidia bringing back the RTX 3060 are true. Even though it’s been replaced by the newer 40 and 50 series cards, it’s still a super popular GPU and a lot more affordable. It would be awesome if they re-released it!
