The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti might not be round this month, as previously expected. The rumor factors to additional delays from a tech world feeling the impacts of… let’s simply name it “geopolitical issues.”

In response to discussion board posts first reported by Videocardz, we might not see the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti till the center of April on the earliest. The phrase comes from a put up on Board Channels—a discussion board that encompasses members with connections to the assorted graphics playing cards makers—Nvidia has informed all its companion graphics card makers that the 5060 and 5060 Ti had been being delayed for one to 2 months.

It means we nonetheless don’t have an concept about value, however you may bide your time supposed leaked specs.

Nvidia continues to be coping with overwhelming inventory woes which have restricted entry to the corporate’s new Blackwell collection, together with the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, the RTX 5070 Ti and lower-end RTX 5070.

AIC maker Yeston told customers on Tuesday that Radeon shares would stabilize “after April.”

Nvidia joins the laundry record of firms holding again their massive funds releases this week alone.

There’s nothing official to say any of those delays are as a consequence of—or exacerbated by—the ongoing Trump tariffs on imports from China. However we’ve heard instantly from firms how difficult their provide chains have change into, simply as a consequence of President Donald Trump’s government orders. Corporations could be higher off telling prospects how it’s, however massive tech seemingly doesn’t need to run afoul of the vindictive grievance machine that at the moment occupies the White Home.
