Nvidia's consumer RTX 60 GPUs face potential 2028 delay as data center priorities shift
A prominent hardware leaker suggests Nvidia's next-generation Rubin-based graphics cards for consumers may not arrive until 2028, pushing back earlier expectations by over a year.
Consumers eyeing Nvidia's upcoming Rubin-architecture graphics cards may face a lengthy wait. According to Kopite7Kimi, a hardware leaker with a strong track record of accuracy, the RTX 60 series could remain unavailable until at least 2028. The leaker had previously anticipated a late 2027 launch but revised that timeline, stating: "Unfortunately, GR20x is a product from 2028. That means they have postponed again." Nvidia has been contacted for a response to these claims.
Kopite7Kimi's historical accuracy on Nvidia hardware matters lends credibility to the projection. Should the assessment prove correct, Nvidia would require six years total to transition its consumer GPU lineup from the TSMC 4N process node—shared by both the Ada Lovelace and Blackwell architectures powering the RTX 40 and RTX 50 series—to the more advanced TSMC 3N or 3NP node currently supporting Rubin accelerators.
