Based on the most recent news reported by @hongxing2020, NVIDIA has informed its partners that it will kick off production of the RTX 3060 graphics card once again in the first quarter of 2026. This strategic move is intended to tackle the global DRAM shortage crisis. You see, the cost of GDDR7 memory, which is utilized in the new - generation RTX 50 series, has skyrocketed, and the supply is extremely limited. This situation has put immense pressure on the mass production and pricing of the RTX 50 series. The RTX 3060 made its debut back in 2021 and still holds the title of the most widely - installed gaming graphics card on the Steam platform. At present, it remains uncertain whether the re - launched version will come with 12GB or 8GB of memory. However, if the price tag surpasses $200 (roughly 1,399 yuan), its allure in the market is likely to wane significantly.
