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.

And those who can't afford the extreme prices for the few parts that make it to the consumer market will get pushed into cloud subscriptions.
That's how the market works in 2026 when the money is fake and gets passed around in this AI bubble.
It has to look like "competition"
I remember Ampere, when everyone was blaming Nvidia for AIB prices and shortages, not realising it was the AIB's fault. Founders Edition almost single handed supplied the UK market as AIB's were too busy shipping to mining farms at 2-3x MSRP.
While we wait for that shit-storm to settle, how about game devs dial back on hammering GPUs when the gains in visual fidelity are as exciting as watching paint dry.
I, on the other hand, cannot raise settings above the max if the devs limit the graphical quality of the games.
I purchased two GPUs last year of completely different universes of spec and weight class. If I move to purchase another Nvidia card it will be for SFF packaging.
The only thing that can really get me interested in making that move is probably NVENC10 and even then, I'm not sure anyone will desperately rush to go get it.
You know you're in trouble when a new game needs 3/4x the GPU power but looks maybe 20% better compared to titles which were released 10+ years ago.
Its still blasting away in one of our machines. I've tried everything to murder it... choked and drowned it in water, set it on fire, went up a 200 storey building and threw it over, ran a tank over it and took a fully loaded tommy gun to it.... just BAD ASS, it refuses to die. I gave up in the 8th year and just buried it 6 feet under. Woke up next morning and the basterd made its way back into our machine with a note reading "until death does us part, beeetch!". I concede.
Just BAD ASS!
Software had to go sub because if one company did it, every company had to. You cant sell a 3k$ software when your competitor offers it for a 50$ subscription.
