Nvidia ends GTX 16 series production
In the statement sent by Nvidia to its production partners, it was announced that GeForce GTX 16 series graphics cards will stop being supported at the beginning of 2024. This means production stops. The GTX 16 series includes the company’s latest “GTX” branded graphics cards.
In the graphics card family that was first introduced in 2019; There were many models such as GTX 1660 SUPER, GTX 1660 Ti, GTX 1660, GTX 1650 Ti and GTX 1650. These cards aimed to deliver 1080p gaming performance at a relatively affordable price.

Squad added the Turkish Land Forces to the game as an update. As part of this update, domestic weapons also came to the game.
Not supporting new technologies such as ray-tracing and DLSS spelled the end of the GTX family. As Nvidia made these technologies specific to RTX graphics cards, the GTX 16 series also lost update support. It cannot support the new graphics features that many modern games use.
This decision of the company also marks the end of the “GTX” brand. It is thought that retail partners will sell GTX 16 series graphics cards and run out of stock in the coming months. With the halt of production, the GTX brand will end up on dusty shelves.
On the other hand, Nvidia is working on the GeForce GTX 3050 6GB model to maintain its presence in the affordable market. This model, which is expected to be introduced in 2024, can offer ray-tracing and DLSS support at an affordable price.
