NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 SeriesGraphics CardSince its release, it has been plagued by shortages and price hikes, preventing many gamers from purchasing it at a reasonable price. Even though it has been on the market for a year, it is still affected byMemoryGiven the tight supply situation, prices are likely to rise even further, and shortages are already beginning to appear overseas. As a result, many people may decide to skip this generation and instead look forward to the next-generation RTX 60 series. If you plan to do so, according to recent leaks from overseas experts, you’ll have to wait at least another year or more.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 series is expected to be announced around this time and will feature the Rubin GR20x GPU.
Recently, leaker Kopite7kimi shared the latest news about the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 series on X. First, regarding the architecture: In recent years, NVIDIA has consistently divided its graphics card products into consumer-grade and data center-grade segments under the same architecture. For example, with the Blackwell architecture, consumer-grade products use the GB20x series, while the data center-grade GB200 consists of two B100 chips.
As for the latest Rubin architecture, the GR100 chip used in data centers consists of two G102 chips, so it’s essentially confirmed that consumer-grade products will not use the G102.
In this regard, Kopite7kimi revealed that the RTX 60 series GPU chips will be named GR20x, suggesting they should be similar to the current Blackwell series—for example, GR202, GR203, GR205, GR206, and GR207.
As for the release date of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 series, it is expected to be in the second half of 2027, which is consistent with NVIDIA’s past release schedule for new products. The RTX 20 series was released in 2018, the RTX 30 series in 2020, the RTX 40 series in 2022, and the RTX 50 series in 2025:
However, it’s worth noting that this timeline is not set in stone. Given the ongoing severe shortage of memory chips—which is not expected to ease until 2027—there is a high probability that the launch will be delayed.
Toward the end of last year, there were persistent rumors in the market that NVIDIA would launch the GeForce RTX 50 SUPER series with double the VRAM capacity. Originally expected to launch in the first half of 2026, the release was subsequently pushed back to mid-2026 and even later; it is still unclear when it will be released.
So, we should wait until the RTX 50 SUPER series is actually released before the next-generation RTX 60 series comes out.
For gamers planning to buy a new graphics card who don’t want to wait that long, there’s one thing you need to know: rumors have already been circulating that… Both AMD and NVIDIA will raise the prices of their graphics cards early this year.. AMD is expected to raise prices starting in January, while NVIDIA will do so in February. Although this report mentions that price adjustments are at the discretion of individual partners, given how much memory prices have risen, I think it’s highly likely that prices will go up.
For example, ASUS has announced that starting January 5, it will beginAdjusting the prices of certain products。
