RTX 30 series Founders Edition graphics cards are removed from the official store

According to a report by Cowcotland, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Founders Edition graphics card has been removed from official stores in multiple regions of the US and EU, and can no longer be ordered. Only non-public partner products are available, which may indicate that its lifecycle is coming to an end, and it needs to make way for the next generation of GeForce RTX 40 series products based on the Ada Lovelace architecture.

Currently, gamers can still purchase the GeForce RTX 30 Founders Edition graphics card from third-party stores, such as Best Buy, which still sells the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti models, but they cannot be ordered online. Recently, Best Buy has also significantly lowered the prices of the GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards and started a price reduction promotion, which indicates that it may be clearing inventory to make way for the upcoming new graphics cards.

This is not the first time that the GeForce RTX 30 Founders Edition graphics card has been removed from shelves. More than two years ago, Nvidia caused these graphics cards to disappear from official stores due to “technical faults,” but the problem was quickly resolved. Since Nvidia has already released the GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards last year, this may be the end of the line for the GeForce RTX 30 Founders Edition graphics card and will no longer be available.
