Nvidia's latest graphics card release is facing a major delay, with rumors now pointing towards a 2028 launch date. The news comes courtesy of renowned leaker kopite7kimi, who claims that Nvidia has postponed its plans for the new RTX 60-series GPUs.

kopite7kimi recently stated that industry analysts are anticipating a launch window that allows Nvidia to capitalize on gamers' passion for new products. However, the leaker notes that the Rubin GPU set to power the next generation of graphics cards has been postponed again. For PC players not well-versed in chipset speak, this refers to a product slated for 2028.

The longest wait between generations was previously observed between GeForce 8000 and GeForce 400 SKUs back in 2006. With component shortages and resource allocation being a significant factor, it seems that Nvidia's release patterns are evolving. Series Ampere, the current generation of GPUs, has been on the market since 2021, and its successor is expected to be a major update.

The delay in new graphics card releases may have significant consequences for gamers who were holding out for next-gen options. With prices for current-generation graphics cards already creeping up. The wait for cheaper alternatives like the AMD Radeon RX 9700 ($579) or Nvidia's RTX 5070 (when available for $549) may become increasingly difficult.

Nvidia has not officially confirmed an RTX 60-series launch window. However, the company is expected to focus on non-gaming AI interests in the near future. The delay is likely due to the company's priorities shifting towards these new areas of research and development.

Amazon Gaming and Component Shortages Amazon Swing. A subsidiary of Amazon, has been working closely with Nvidia to ensure timely delivery of graphics cards. However, component shortages remain a significant challenge for the gaming industry, and Nvidia's release patterns are likely to continue being influenced by these factors.

kopite7kimi hopes that Nvidia can launch new products for gaming as soon as possible, citing the passion of gamers worldwide. However, the leaker acknowledges that GR20x, a product from 2028, has been postponed again, highlighting the challenges in meeting traditional gaming hardware demands.
