Alleged GDDR6X shortage could briefly hinder Nvidia gaming GPU supply starting August — affected models include RTX 4070 through RTX 4090

The Best Graphics Cards: GeForce RTX 4090 FE.

A rumor has emerged suggesting Nvidia's GeForce RTX 40 series, some of which are the best graphics cards, will reportedly face brief supply constraints beginning next month. According to a report from ChannelGate—sourced from Harukaze5719—a failed batch of GDDR6X memory modules will temporarily constrain the RTX 4070 and RTX 4090 starting in August.

A batch of Micron GDDR6X memory modules has purportedly failed quality control, forcing it to be replaced. The batch could affect all graphics cards that utilize GDDR6X memory modules. This temporary hiccup is only expected to reduce the supply of affected GPUs briefly and is "not expected to last too long."
