Prominent leaker refutes Nvidia GeForce RTX 6090 release rumours

“RTX 60 is not coming next year” – Kepler_L2 refutes recent RTX 6090 rumours

KeplerL2, a prominent PC hardware leaker, has refuted recent claims that Nvidia’s RTX 60 series would arrive in 2027. A recent report from Moore’s Law is Dead, citing an unnamed Nvidia source, claimed Nvidia was “aiming for H1 2027” for its “Gaming Rubin” (RTX 60 series) GPUs. KeplerL2 wasn’t the first to call out this report, with MEGAsizeGPU also calling it “Fake-as-hell”.

If KeplerL2 is right, Nvidia won’t release its RTX 60 series graphics cards before 2028. This lines up with prior expectations for Nvidia’s next-generation graphics cards. Until very recently, Nvidia were reportedly working on RTX 50 SUPER series graphics cards, upgraded RTX 50 series GPU models with refreshed specifications. Typically, Nvidia waits at least a year between major gaming product launches, which would place their RTX 60 series launch in 2028.

Supply chain concerns ultimately scuppered Nvidia’s RTX 50 SUPER series gaming ambitions. High memory demand makes it hard to launch any new product that requires lots of memory. These same concerns would make launching RTX 60 series GPUs a challenge. If anything, the RTX 60 series would be even more challenging, given the heightened demand seen for next-generation gaming products.

Given current circumstances, an RTX 6090 launch in H1 2027 seems incredibly unlikely. If the RTX 60 series GPUs were launching in H1 2027, Nvidia wouldn’t have tried to bring back its RTX 50 SUPER series. Personally, I expect to see Nvidia’s RTX 60 series GPUs in 2028. Hopefully, memory pricing issues will ease by then, allowing the PC market to start returning to some level of normalcy.
