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.

Also the hardware is another benefit. Rather than having to sell a GPU to every gamer, you only need to have enough for every concurrent gamer at any given moment. The rest of your wafers can go to higher margin products.
Both Intel 18A and TSMC N2P have the new transistor type (Gate-all-around) which is a big jump in performance, but so is backside power delivery (powervia) and TSMC doesn't have that. You can't release a two year product range midway through the maturity of a next-gen node.
AI will spike again in 2028, and consumer GPUs will be the second-hand bad yields of all the AI chips, and still cost $1-3k.
- Nvidia has 90% market share.
- Nvidia has no competition!
- Nvidia $5 Trillion dollar company!
- Nvidia is years ahead of its compilation.
- 2nd-Gen Transformer Model works on all RTX cards.
AMD best RX 9070XT 16GB slower than the old RTX 4080 Super 16GB (AD103) Technology from 2022.
MSI dropped AMD 9000 Series and AMD dropped backwards compatibility driver support for RDNA3.
RTX 6080 32GB will outperform the RTX 5090 32GB.
RTX 5080 Super 24GB @ces 2027
AMD has some huge shoes to fill.
Although I'm sure Jensen will do something like the "5070>4090" claim again.Again, citation needed.
The rumor is no new cards until 2028, if there is anything new it'll be an extremely expensive paper launch.
AMD fills their shoes fine, although a high end card with RDNA5 would be nice.
Nvidia if shifts to rental will make a killing, I am pretty sure already a lot of AI kit is leased.
