Both Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and 5060 launches delayed, new rumor suggests

It looks like both the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 release dates could be pushed back due to an issue with the mass production of the chips. After some "chip performance issues" were detected, a round of debugging has had to be put into effect, pushing back full scale roll out of the GPUs. That’s all according to a new rumor that suggests the production schedule of both these mid-tier Nvidia cards could be pushed back to mid-March at the earliest.

This is another fly in the ointment for Nvidia, following the launch of its latest RTX 50-series that has seen both RTX 5090 stock and RTX 5080 stock almost impossible to find, making it very difficult for gamers to pick up one of the best graphics cards for themselves. Despite earlier rumors of a February launch, the RTX 5070 has also since seen an early March release window speculated online, while recent RTX 5060 launch rumors now point to that card coming in April instead.
