Nvidia has reportedly scrapped its program to sell GPUs at MSRP, and cards might get pricier

Nvidia has reportedly scrapped its Open Price Program, which allowed partners to sell GPUs at MSRP. If true, this could lead to significant price increases for GPUs, similar to the scalper and supply-driven chaos seen last year. However, as Nvidia has not confirmed this, it's advisable to take the reports with caution.

The RAM crisis could force Nvidia to abandon 16GB GPUs for now

Due to global RAM shortages, Nvidia may scale back production of its 16GB GPUs, prioritizing 8GB models like the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti. The 16GB RTX 5060 Ti faces delays and possible cancellation due to tight GDDR7 memory supply, which makes the larger cards harder to justify. Industry insiders claim that overall GPU production could be cut by up to 40% in early 2026, with mid-range cards most affected. This could leave mainstream buyers with fewer future-proof options and may lead to a stronger focus on premium GPUs and cloud gaming services.

Nvidia May Prioritize RTX 5060, 5060 Ti Production in 2026

Nvidia may prioritize RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti production in 2026 due to a growing memory shortage crisis. This move will result in a reduced supply of other RTX 50-series cards, including the 5070 and 5070 Ti. Top models like the RTX 5080 and 5090 have already seen their prices skyrocket, and this trend is likely to continue. The memory shortage problem has been growing for several months as tech giants buy up high-end GPUs for their AI data centers. This comes at a challenging time for gamers, as newer titles demand more VRAM than ever before. Cards with 8GB of VRAM are largely seen as ineffective for playing the latest games at anything above 1080p and low settings.
