NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60-Series Reportedly Slips to 2028, Per New Leak
Kopite7Kimi, a leaker with a strong track record on NVIDIA hardware, says the company's next-generation GeForce RTX 60-series based on the Rubin architecture is a 2028 product. "Unfortunately, GR20x is a product from 2028. That means they have postponed again," the leaker posted on X. Their earlier estimate was the second half of 2027, so this is another "delay," if you can even call it that. NVIDIA hasn't said anything official about RTX 60-series timing, so treat it as a rumor for now.
Interestingly, this new leak seems to align with what prominent leaker Kepler_L2 claimed a few days ago: that Rubin gaming GPUs would only arrive in 2028. It also goes against leaker Moore's Law Is Dead, who said about a week ago that an NVIDIA source told them gaming Rubin was greenlit for the first half of 2027. Two leakers against one doesn't settle anything, and we don't know who is right yet, but the 2028 timing does seem more likely given the current industry conditions. Of course, these plans can change before 2028, as the memory supply situation is currently very volatile, and hardware roadmaps are changing almost on a weekly basis.
As for why Rubin seemingly slipped to 2028, the culprit seems to be what we all expected. Memory and TSMC capacity are stretched thin, and data center hardware makes NVIDIA far more money than GeForce does. Apparently, the RTX 50 Super refresh is also stuck over pricey 3 GB GDDR7 modules. All this likely adds up to a long Blackwell cycle, NVIDIA still may manage to squeeze in the Super launch somewhere in 2027, unless it is canceled outright.

Since they acquired Groq a while back, I guess they'll eventually start introducing large(r) amounts of SRAM to break current memory bandwidth (+ associated power draw) barriers, but that's still something that needs large clusters for being effective.
Nvidia used to be cool. Now they only taylor to the super rich.
I would bet money the 6090 will be 10 grand min.
5050 8GB - Stupid pricing for a massive downgrade over the 5060.
5060Ti 8GB - Stupid VRAM quantity for GPU that is plenty capable of running 1080pRT or 1440pUltra and needing 10GB+ of VRAM. PCIe 8x hurts this even more!
5070 12GB - Ridiculous pricing considering it's only a 12GB card. Why is it $900?!!! The GDDR7 pricing issues shouldn't inflate it by a higher percentage than the 16GB cards.
5080 16GB - Ridiculous pricing at launch, the price hikes haven't helped.
5090 32GB - Even calling this a gaming card at $5000-6000 is an insult.
As you can probably tell, I'm only really a fan of the 5060Ti 16GB and 5070Ti. Neither of them are priced well right now, but at least they aren't short of VRAM and amusingly they offer the least bad performance/$ in Nvidia's stack despite all the prices of GDDR7 products being FUBAR right now.
In hindsight, AMD's choice to stick with GDDR6 with RDNA4 looks like a fortuitous move. The RX 9070XT and 9600XT 16GB are still suffering price hikes, but nowhere near as badly as the Nvidia stuff right now....
Having an almost full year where NVIDIA has zero response and AMD is the only new architecture on the market is a once-in-a-decade open goal.
They call this kind of figure 'too big to fail', with PC posting, once again, the biggest YoY growth %.
So a new chip with the same number of transistors would be significantly smaller
The question is if we'll be having separate boards in X years, to me, but high end gaming won't be dead before we have those at a very comfortable performance level. Nobody is buying into straight regression, we have to at least have the impression something's improved (upscalers are a nice example of that).
plz?
