"According to Wccftech, Nvidia is reportedly on the verge of resuming production on its budget-friendly GeForce RTX 3060 GPUs to combat the ongoing shortage of RAM being caused by an uptick in development on AI technologies and the increasing prices of memory. According to a post they made early on January 5, Nvidia seems poised to bring back the RTX 3060 in the first quarter of 2026."
"In short, many of these companies need more raw computing power, which means that companies like Nvidia are now dedicating massive amounts of their own consumer stock to these ends. What little is left for consumers looking to build PCs has now risen in value, and you've likely seen as much if you've spent the last few months shopping around for the right parts for a gaming PC."
"Just days into 2026, it was reported that both AMD and Nvidia , two of the most reputable names in the business, would be raising the prices of their consumer GPUs quite heavily this year. Some of the estimates being floated sound preposterous, but regardless, you better get used to the idea of paying a lot of money--more than usual, at least--for memory as we wade deeper into 2026."
Nvidia is reportedly poised to resume production of the GeForce RTX 3060 in the first quarter of 2026 to address a shortage of RAM and rising memory prices driven by increased AI development. The RTX 3060 remains a popular, budget-friendly option despite being phased out for the newer 40 and 50 series. Late 2025 saw consumer GPU prices surge as companies redirected consumer stock toward AI workloads. Both major GPU vendors are expected to raise consumer GPU prices in 2026, increasing costs for PC builders and making revived 3060 production a potential affordability measure.
