NVIDIA cutting RTX 20-series supply to make more Ampere GPUs

Citing a report from Asian tech site ITHome, WCCF Tech spreads news that NVIDIA plans to increase the production capacity of its GeForce RTX 30 series by cutting the production of the RTX 20 series. According to the site, production of the GeForce RTX 2060 will be cut in half this month.

Now that the CMP series is officially here, NVIDIA has decided to refocus its gaming supply on Ampere GPUs. Sure the Turing architecture will still be produced for crypto mining users & on-order, cryptocurrency has fallen a lot over the past few weeks & doesn't seem to be recovering. This has given NVIDIA to once again cut off the production of its older GPUs and move to next-generation parts such as the Ampere-based GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards.
