Enthusiasts awaiting the arrival of Nvidia’s lower-end graphics cards may need to wait several more weeks. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, which were initially expected to be released this month, may not be available until later. This delay is reportedly due to the ongoing impacts of geopolitical concerns on the tech world.

According to forum posts reported by Videocardz, the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti may not be released until mid-April at the earliest. A post on Board Channels, a forum with connections to graphics card manufacturers, stated that Nvidia has informed its partners that the 5060 and 5060 Ti will be delayed by one to two months.

The forum post noted that the RTX 5060 Ti, which will be available with either 16 GB or 8 GB of VRAM, is expected to be released in mid-April. The more affordable RTX 5060 may not be available until mid-May. Initial rumors suggested a March release, but Nvidia has now told its add-in card (AIC) partners that it will provide specific timing at a later date.

Although these rumors are not entirely confirmed, the fact that Nvidia did not mention its lower-end graphics cards at its GTC 2025 conference supports the possibility of an April release. As a result, there is still no information available on pricing, but supposed leaked specs can be reviewed in the meantime.

Nvidia is still struggling with severe stock shortages that have limited access to its new Blackwell series, including the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, the RTX 5070 Ti, and lower-end RTX 5070. This week, Nvidia reduced prices for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 in Europe. In the U.S., some cards are being sold for $100 to $200 above the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).

Nvidia’s best solution so far has been to implement a priority access system, which is essentially a raffle. This system limits stock to verified members of the official Nvidia forums, helping to counter scalpers. However, it does not address the issue of limited availability for the majority of customers. AMD has also faced similar challenges with its recent Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, with low stocks and inflated prices. AIC maker Yeston informed customers that Radeon stocks would stabilize “after April.”

Nvidia is not the only company to delay its major releases this week. Google released details about its new mid-range phone, the Pixel 9a, but then delayed its release due to a “component quality issue.” Nothing, the manufacturer of the upcoming Nothing 3a Pro, also delayed preorders for its top-end smartphone. Android Police reported on emails sent to customers stating that “due to demand, there will be a delay” and orders are now set to ship on April 15.

Although there is no official statement linking these delays to the ongoing Trump tariffs on imports from China, companies have expressed the complexity of their supply chains due to President Donald Trump’s executive orders. It would be beneficial for companies to be transparent with their customers, but big tech may be hesitant to speak out against the current administration.
