Nvidia's new generation of graphics cards is reportedly arriving sooner. RTX 60 is targeting early 2027

Those waiting for a new generation of gaming graphics cards from Nvidia might get them sooner than expected. According to information from YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead, the company is targeting the first half of 2027 for the GeForce RTX 60 series, based on the Rubin architecture. Previous speculations, however, pointed more towards the second half, and in some cases even 2028.

Gaming gave way to servers

Originally, the new generation was supposed to arrive this year, but Nvidia reportedly postponed it to free up as much manufacturing capacity at TSMC as possible for data center chips — a business where it earns incomparably more than from gamers. The cards reportedly got the green light several months ago, and the company has set internal milestones leading to 2027. However, the source himself adds that plans may still change.

Something is happening with the flagship

The mention of the top-tier model is interesting. According to Moore’s Law is Dead, sources were reluctant to talk about it but left the impression that something unusual in terms of design is being prepared for it. In the video, possibilities such as a transition to 2nm manufacturing or assembling the chip from several smaller parts were mentioned — a common practice for professional cards, but not for gaming graphics. However, it is more likely that Nvidia will reserve the most modern 2nm process for server products and manufacture gaming cards using an older process.

What will players actually get from this

That’s a question no one can answer yet. Judging by the direction the company has taken with DLSS 5 technology, it can be expected that performance gains will rely more on software than on raw power — because raw power today comes at the cost of increasing consumption. And higher consumption could exacerbate power connector issues that plague the current RTX 50 series and some older models.

The timing would put Nvidia in direct conflict with AMD’s upcoming RDNA 5 architecture, which, according to leaked documents, is expected to bring an unusually large performance leap in the high-end segment. The fate of the RTX 50 Super series also remains an open question — according to an earlier report, the cards are sitting in warehouses because the manufacturer and distributors cannot agree on a price. Furthermore, everything mentioned above comes from a single leaker, so don’t count on certainty.

Are you waiting for a new generation of graphics cards, or is the current one perfectly sufficient for you?
