The new report comes from hongxing2020 who has a solid track record with NVIDIA GPU updates and production plans. The user states that, as per the latest update on 5th January, NVIDIA has updated its partners that the RTX 3060 is coming back in Q1 2026. There’s no detail on whether both the 12 GB / 8 GB models or one of those will be produced, but the RTX 3060 is going to be made available on retail shelves once again.
How bad do things have to be for them to bring back a low end 5 year old GPU?
Pretty bad probably, but somehow someone in a comment section decided that this means AMD is cooked.
Hey, that’s my card! 
It’s my brother’s card as well, albeit the mobile version, and he says he is perfectly happy with it. It’s always a matter of expectations in the end and what you deem to be acceptable when it comes to graphical fidelity.
I played Robocop and The Ascent with RT and it’s perfectly fine at 1080p.
It is what it is, but graphics have plateaud anyway and with those prices going up, I guess it’s some kind of a contingency plan.
