It is claimed that the planned release date for NVIDIA’s eagerly awaited new generation graphics card family NVIDIA RTX 60 series has been changed. Information from reliable sources in the sector indicates that the release date of the Rubin architecture-based GR20x GPUs has been postponed from 2027 to 2028.

The latest information shared by Kopite7kimi indicates that the release date, previously indicated as the second half of 2027, has now been moved to 2028. This situation reveals that NVIDIA’s plans for the new generation of consumer graphics cards have been updated internally.

New Timeline for RTX 60 Series

The GR20x GPU family is expected to bring the company’s Rubin architecture to gaming graphics cards. However, NVIDIA has not yet made an official statement about the RTX 60 series or these GPUs.

Shipments of the Rubin platform on the data center side have started as of August 2026. However, the technical specifications and timeline of the GR20x GPUs developed for gamers are progressing on a different path than data center products.

The postponement of the RTX 60 series to 2028 means that the RTX 50 series with Blackwell architecture will remain on the market for a longer time. The release plans for the Super models, which are a continuation of the RTX 50 series, remain uncertain due to the high cost of GDDR7 memory.

There is currently no clear information regarding the technical details of the GR20x family, such as CUDA core counts, power consumption, or manufacturing technology. The names of models like the RTX 6090 or RTX 6080 have also not been confirmed by the company.

Memory Costs and Market Expectations

The cost of 3GB GDDR7 chips, in particular, is a significant obstacle for graphics card manufacturers. Although the development process of some RTX 50 Super models has progressed, this cost pressure directly affects sales schedules.

This memory shortage affects not only gaming cards but also overall production capacity. The high demand for HBM and other high-performance memory types for AI systems is leading manufacturers to revise their capacity plans.

NVIDIA’s data center roadmap includes architectures such as Rubin Ultra and Feynman following Rubin. The date when these architectures will be used in gaming graphics cards remains uncertain.

Gamers may have to wait another year for the expected real architectural change after the RTX 50 series. How do you think this delay by NVIDIA will affect the graphics card market?
