NVIDIA’s next mainstream GeForce card may be years away: hardware leaker Kepler_L2 says the rumored RTX 6060 could arrive as late as 2029 and might not match Sony’s PlayStation 6 in gaming performance. Neither product’s specifications or release schedule are confirmed, and the 2029 date appears to be an estimate based on the expected rollout of higher-end RTX 60 cards.
Key takeaways
- Leaker Kepler_L2 says the RTX 6060 could launch “much later,” potentially in 2029.
- Higher-end RTX 60-series cards have reportedly been pushed to 2028, though NVIDIA has not announced the lineup.
- The leaker expects the RTX 6060 to fall short of the PS6, but there are no public specifications for either product.
For PC builders and GPU buyers, the claims point to a potentially extended wait for a new mainstream NVIDIA card. ThinkComputers will be watching for official details; for now, this remains unconfirmed industry speculation.
Why a 2029 launch is being discussed
Kepler_L2’s estimate reflects NVIDIA’s typical launch pattern: flagship cards arrive first, followed by more affordable models. If the top RTX 60-series GPUs do not appear until 2028, a later arrival for an x60-class card could push the RTX 6060 into 2029. The exact date is not something the leaker confirmed.
NVIDIA’s recent x60 launches have varied in timing. The RTX 5060 followed the RTX 5090 by only a few months, while the RTX 4060 arrived more than eight months after the RTX 4090. A 2029 RTX 6060 would also mean roughly four years between x60 generations, compared with about two years between the RTX 5060 and RTX 4060.
Supply constraints could affect the lineup
The leaker says NVIDIA tends to delay lower-end cards when supply is tight, potentially prioritizing more expensive products. Reports have pointed to constrained memory supplies and competition for components used in AI products as pressures on GPU availability. Those factors could influence release plans, but NVIDIA has not confirmed they will delay the RTX 60 series.
PS6 performance comparison remains speculative
Kepler_L2 also suggested the RTX 6060 may be slower in games than Sony’s upcoming console. The PS6 is rumored to use an AMD RDNA 5-based design, but Sony has not disclosed its hardware specifications, and NVIDIA has not revealed an RTX 6060. Console and desktop GPU performance also depends on factors beyond chip architecture, so a meaningful comparison will require more details.
The RTX 6060 name itself is unofficial. Until NVIDIA confirms the RTX 60 lineup, its branding, performance and launch window remain unknown. Buyers should treat both the 2029 timing and the PS6 comparison as rumors, not product guidance.
