Nvidia has not delivered the Geforce RTX 3060 Ti for several months

The fact that there is a shortage of graphics cards is nothing new among enthusiasts and regardless of the model, many people who ordered their graphics card on the launch day have not yet received their delivery. Both Nvidia and AMD emphatically claim that they supply large volumes of graphics cards and that the prevailing shortage is a consequence of high demand.

One graphics card that is particularly affected is the Geforce RTX 3060 Ti and it has its explanations – many retailers have barely received new graphics cards since the launch date on 1 December. Dutch Tweakers was the first to report that deliveries were completely absent and SweClockers has in conversations with Swedish retailers confirmed that this is the case. The exception is one that announces that they receive regular deliveries of RTX 3060 Ti, a statement other dealers are highly hesitant about.

Why Nvidia chose not to supply any Geforce RTX 3060 Ti is not clear, but one theory is that they prioritize graphics chips for products with higher margins. The circuit used, GA104, is also the basis for RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti which have recommended prices of 499 and 599 dollars respectively while RTX 3060 Ti is at 399 USD.

Both Nvidia’s and AMD’s recommended prices currently mean nothing to end customers. This is based on the fact that demand far exceeds supply and that they both sell the graphics circuits themselves to partner manufacturers at such prices that the recommended prices are practically impossible. On the other hand, Nvidia and AMD are of course selling more powerful graphics circuits at higher prices.

Another reason that stands out is that the Geforce RTX 3060 Ti is a graphics card that on paper is extra interesting for miners. It has both the same amount of GDDR6 memory and memory frequency as the RTX 3070, which makes the cheaper model basically as effective at breaking the Ethereum cryptocurrency. If this is one of Nvidia’s reasons for not delivering graphics cards, then it is possible that they screw on the tap with mininglimited LHR models.

Geforce RTX 3060 Ti, which on paper has been on the market for just over seven months, has not officially been received end-of-lifestatus (EOL), which could mean that deliveries take place at some point in the future.
