It's only a matter of time at this point.
With sales of its GPUs falling way below expectations and retailers apparently ticked off that they now have plenty of GPU stock taking up warehouse space, slowing production of new consumer GPU stock doesn't make much sense.
Well, it's not hard to fathom if you have shareholders, and Nvidia has millions of them that its board is answerable to. In a world of scarce silicon and essentially insatiable demand for AI dedicated hardware in the next decade , it would be corporate malpractice for Nvidia to continue to make consumer graphics cards its core product.
How many generations of GeForce graphics cards do we have left? If we get an RTX 7000-series, I'd be shocked. Orders for 5000-series silicon are already being negotiated most likely, and work on chip design for 6000-series GPUs is probably also well underway at this point, so the inertia might win the day there, but that's no guarantee.
If we do ever see a 7000-series GPU, it will be as a cloud service option, not something you can buy on the store shelf. If we get an RTX 5000 series and RTX 6000 series, they probably won't be getting the love and attention from Team Green that its past generations have gotten, so how good will they really be in the end? Who knows. Nvidia GeForce cards might be an endangered species in the future, but if you're worried that AI will spell the death knell for PC gaming, fear not.

Hundreds sign up to ponder OpenAI founder's eye-scanning crypto orb despite data concernsScrew sports, Katie would rather watch Intel, AMD and Nvidia go at it. Having been obsessed with computers and graphics for three long decades, she took Game Art and Design up to Masters level at uni, and has been demystifying tech and science—rather sarcastically—for two years since. She can be found admiring AI advancements, scrambling for scintillating Raspberry Pi projects, preaching cybersecurity awareness, sighing over semiconductors, and gawping at the latest GPU upgrades. She's been heading the PCG Steam Deck content hike, while waiting patiently for her chance to upload her consciousness into the cloud.
