Nvidia's next-gen RTX 60 series GPUs may not launch until the second half of 2027, according to a leak. The rumor suggests that these GPUs will be powered by the Rubin architecture, specifically the "GR20x" dies. Rubin is Nvidia's upcoming datacenter architecture, expected to bring significant performance improvements. The use of Rubin for gaming GPUs could lead to enhanced AI capabilities and better image generation. The delay in the RTX 50 series Super refresh is attributed to supply chain shortages, prompting considerations of reintroducing older graphics cards.
