''The rumor mill has it that Nvidia decided to cut back RTX 40-series production to make room for a Blackwell launch in January. This is seemingly backed by reports of shortages and recent price hikes, especially in the case of the RTX 4090. The statement thus becomes self-explanatory for the RTX 40 series.
This could also mean that the initial RTX 50-series supply might be bottlenecked. Nvidia is expected to begin shipping chips to AIBs this quarter, though there's as yet no official confirmation. ''
