Nvidia’s next GeForce generation may not arrive until 2028, according to multiple hardware leakers. The reported delay would move the Rubin-based RTX 60 family beyond an expected 2027 window and leave the RTX 50 series as Nvidia’s primary gaming lineup for an unusually long period. AI accelerator demand and constrained memory supplies are reportedly driving the change.
Key takeaways
Reports indicate that Nvidia’s Rubin-based gaming GPUs, expected to become the GeForce RTX 60 series, have slipped to 2028. The company has not confirmed the architecture, product names, specifications, or launch schedule.
- The reported RTX 60 timeline has moved from late 2027 to 2028.
- Nvidia’s rumored RTX 50 Super refresh may also be shelved.
- AI demand is competing with gaming hardware for advanced manufacturing and memory capacity.
- AMD’s RDNA 5 lineup may face similar delays, with one reported exception in 2027.
RTX 60 reportedly moves beyond 2027
Nvidia-focused leaker Kopite7kimi now identifies the GR20x family as a 2028 product. GR20x is widely expected to represent Nvidia’s gaming version of Rubin, the architecture following Blackwell and the RTX 50 generation. Another leaker, Kepler_L2, separately claimed that RTX 60 will not launch in 2027.
I hope Jensen can see everyone's passion and launch new products for gaming as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, GR20x is a product from 2028. That means they have postponed again. 🙃🙃🙃
I will try to minimize updates until there is definite news. (Lessons learned)— kopite7kimi (@kopite7kimi) September 21, 2026
These claims remain unconfirmed. Nvidia has not announced a consumer Rubin roadmap, and the company has not acknowledged a delay. Earlier reports had pointed to a second-half 2027 launch, making the latest information a significant shift rather than a minor schedule adjustment.
AI demand is reshaping the GPU market
The reported delay reflects a broader change in Nvidia’s business priorities. Data-center AI accelerators generate substantially higher revenue and margins than gaming GPUs, creating strong incentives to reserve advanced-node manufacturing capacity for products sold to hyperscale customers.
Memory is another reported constraint. AI hardware continues to consume large quantities of high-bandwidth memory, while gaming cards depend on increasingly expensive GDDR capacity. Limited supplies could make a large new consumer GPU launch more difficult to justify, particularly if component costs would force prices even higher.
RTX 50 Super may not fill the gap
A rumored RTX 50 Super refresh, potentially including a 24GB RTX 5080 Super, was expected to give buyers a mid-generation upgrade option. However, reports now suggest that Nvidia may have shelved or abandoned the lineup. Nvidia never officially announced these products, so their status remains speculative.
If no refresh appears, Blackwell-based RTX 50 cards could remain Nvidia’s main consumer offering through 2027. That would extend the generation well beyond the company’s recent two-year cadence and reduce the usual pressure on retailers to discount existing models before a replacement arrives.
AMD may also delay its next generation
AMD’s RDNA 5 roadmap is reportedly facing similar manufacturing and memory constraints. One claim suggests that a chip known as AT2, potentially associated with RDNA 5, could be the only major next-generation GPU released in 2027, with the rest of AMD’s lineup following in 2028.
A delayed launch from both major GPU vendors could limit competition at a time when buyers are already dealing with elevated prices. Intel’s Arc lineup may gain additional attention, although it has not yet matched Nvidia or AMD at the high end.
What this means for PC buyers
For enthusiasts building or upgrading a system, the reported schedule makes waiting for RTX 60 a long-term decision. Buyers who need new hardware before 2028 may have to compare current RTX 50 and Radeon products, consider used RTX 40 cards, or delay an upgrade altogether.
The 2028 estimate is not a confirmed release date and could change again. Still, the consistency of the latest leak reports suggests that PC builders should not assume a new Nvidia gaming generation will arrive in 2027.
