NVIDIA Will Break It’s 10-Year Tradition with the RTX 60 Series
NVIDIA has long followed an approximately two-year generation cycle for consumer graphics cards, but the RTX 60 family may break this pattern. Kopite7kimi and Kepler_L2, known for their hardware leaks, suggest that the company has delayed its next-generation GeForce graphics cards to 2028. Considering that the RTX 50 Blackwell family was introduced in early 2025, the time between two generations could extend to approximately three years.
NVIDIA May Delay RTX 60 Series to 2028
If the leaks are accurate, this would represent a significant change in NVIDIA’s usual GeForce release schedule over the last decade. Previously, there were claims that the RTX 60 series could arrive in the first half of 2027, but the latest information suggests the timeline has shifted to 2028. The company has not yet officially announced the architecture or release date of the new series.
The exact cause of the delay is unknown, but memory supply problems and rising costs are among the possible reasons. Limited production and packaging capacity at TSMC could also lead to consumer graphics cards being relegated to second-class production. Demand for high-bandwidth memory and advanced manufacturing processes is particularly high.
Another important point is NVIDIA’s focus on its data center business. The company’s latest financial results indicate that a large portion of its revenue comes from data centers. The fact that the Vera Rubin platform has entered production strengthens the view that NVIDIA may prioritize its most advanced manufacturing capacity for higher-revenue AI and data center hardware.
AMD is also rumored to be experiencing a similar timeline problem. According to Kepler_L2, a large portion of the RDNA 5 family could also be delayed until 2028. However, there are currently no official dates for either the NVIDIA RTX 60 or AMD’s next-generation desktop cards. Therefore, the 2028 claim should be considered a strong leak for now.
