Inno3D has stopped the production of non-OC variants of its RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070 Twin X2 cards in order to prioritize the OC models. Inno3D has sent out an email stating that the two models from the Twin X2 Series, specifically the RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 3070, have been discontinued immediately. And the company will not be offering a replacement or successor for these cards.
The company sent out an email to Dutch retailer Azerty in which they announced the discontinuation of the two graphics cards from the Twin X2 series graphics card series. Currently, Inno3D offers four different models based on the GA104 GPU.
Although the RTX 3060 12 GB Twin X2 Series are currently listed on Azerty’s website, they aren’t available for purchase as NVIDIA has yet to launch the specific SKU. The following email has been leaked (via Videocardz).
We have just received a disappointing message from the manufacturer about the ordered Inno3D GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Twin X2 video card.
Unfortunately, lnno3D reported this morning that the Twin X2 series of the 3060 and 3070 have been discontinued immediately and the cards will therefore no longer be delivered, they will also will not supply a successor or replacement, given that the demand for the other 3060 cards cannot be met at this time.

Due to the limited supply of GPUs, some manufacturers are now prioritizing OC models that offer higher margins. This email also stated that no successor or replacement would be given for the Twin X2 series graphics cards, showing that the remaining graphics cards’ stocks are still minimal and out of stock on various online retailers.
There are many reasons why Inno3D may be discontinuing these graphics cards, and one reason could be that they are focusing on ensuring that the OC versions will be in stock. We will have to wait and see how the company acts in the coming future.
