'I'd rather they delayed the launch to consumers': Nvidia's RTX 6000 GPUs are rumored for 2028, not next year, and gamers seem happy enough about that.

wait anyway Nvidia has pushed back its timeframe for launching
next-generation graphics cards for gamers, and we're now hearing they won't arrive until 2028.

As ever, all this is theoretical Nvidia hasn't uttered a peep about its RTX 6000 GPUs officially but according to Kopite7kimi , a well-known leaker on X ( via TweakTown ), these products are now destined for a 2028 release which "means they have postponed again." In other words, Nvidia was supposedly looking at a launch for next year, but the leaker now believes that isn't the case. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

Another leaker, Moore's Law is Dead on YouTube , recently said that Nvidia is planning a 2027 launch for the RTX 6000 series, so this directly contradicts that idea. However, it's possible that this was the case, but Team Green has only just changed its mind. Analysis: a sensible move (Image credit: Shutterstock / Monkey Business Images) Of course, both of these assertions
are just rumors, and we need to regard them with an equal amount of caution but I think it makes more sense for Nvidia to delay the release of its next-gen GeForce GPUs until 2028. You may like Nvidia RTX Super GPUs rumored to be ready, but on hold due to VRAM prices Palit reveals RTX 3060 12GB as
RAM crisis means more old GPUs are returning RTX 5090 prices skyrocket to $9,000 so how much will an RTX 6090 cost?

Why? I have three predictable words for you: the RAM crisis. With the memory shortage which also impacts video RAM rapidly worsening as 2026 progresses, and predicted to descend further into nightmarish pricing territory in 2027 , next year seems like a bad move for launching a family of next-gen GPUs.

Especially when you consider that the first graphics cards to emerge will doubtless be the flagship RTX 6090 and the 6080. How expensive will they be
in such a climate, given that the RTX 5080 is already exorbitantly priced?
The latter has reached around $1,500 in the US at this point, and is at similar levels in other regions, such as 1,350 in the UK (that's the cheapest GPU in both cases at the time of writing, I should make clear). And let's not even talk about the RTX 5090 which has got completely ridiculous.

Remember that these next-gen GPUs are going to require more memory to be an upgrade over their predecessors, and are also likely to use more expensive VRAM modules.

3GB modules will likely be used by Nvidia, or maybe even 4GB or 6GB chips, which as Wccftech reports , are rumored to debut in the next year or two (which would align with a 2028 release for RTX 6000, in theory). That's according to another prominent leaker over in Asia, Golden Pig Upgrade, as posted on Weibo .

All expectations are for the RTX 6000 series to be pricey, which is why launching them at what might be the height of the RAM crisis 2027, going by current predictions doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The following year seems a lot more likely, when hopefully the crisis has started to settle down and pricing is at least stabilizing to some extent (although some believe we're looking longer term for that to happen, more towards 2030 ).

Whatever the case, some gamers are getting jaded with the market. One of the replies to Kopite7kimi's post on X simply says of the next generation of Nvidia GeForce GPUs: "Nobody cares, nobody can afford it anyway." Others
like this Redditor , who says "I'd rather they delayed the launch to consumers" indicate that they're happy enough to wait due to pricing or
stock issues (launch quantities of GPUs would likely be thin on the ground).

The other question is whether we'll see those RTX 5000 Super refreshes that have been long rumored. I'm doubtful at this point, and I think Nvidia may be inclined to rely more on the AI and software side of the equation,
principally DLSS 5 , to impress gamers, rather than new (stupidly pricey) hardware.
