Who expected to see big graphics card ads on CES 2026 he watched ships. The conference of Jensen Huang focused almost entirely on AI solutions for servers, leaving the gaming public without immediate news.
However, the vacuum of official information was filled by an important leak: the series RTX 60 is scheduled to launch in 2027 and that appears to be NVIDIA’s new timeline, suggesting that the next generation of home GPUs may take longer than usual to hit shelves.
The information comes from the known leaker hardware developer kopite7kimi, who published details about the architecture that will succeed the Blackwell line (RTX 50).
According to the source, NVIDIA will also use the Rubin architecture for consumer graphics cards, under the codename dies “GR20x“. The expected premiere would only be scheduled for the second half of 2027which would place a considerable gap between generations.
Rubin architecture arrives in games
Originally, the Rubin architecture was designed as the successor to Blackwell for data centers, being the heart of the supercomputer Vera Rubin NVL72 and the Rubin CPX accelerator card.
It’s rare for NVIDIA to share the same architectural nomenclature across professional and GeForce (as happened with Pascal and Ampere), but rumors indicate that the company will reuse the design.
Analysis performed on Rubin CPX hardware blocks last year already indicated the presence of graph structures that would be unnecessary for pure machine learning workloads.
This corroborates the theory that NVIDIA planned from the beginning to port this technology to the PC Games segment, possibly bringing a significant jump in raw performance, estimated at 30% just based on preliminary specifications, without counting clock or lithography improvements.
Total focus on artificial intelligence
If performance in traditional rasterization is still unknown, the leap in AI promises to be massive. The Vera Rubin platform delivers up to 5x faster speeds than Blackwell in artificial intelligence applications.
For gamers, this may not mean 5x higher frame rates natively, but it points to even deeper integration with technologies like DLSS.
Jensen Huang reiterated at CES 2026 that the future of graphics is airneural renderingl, not raw rasterization.
With this in mind, an architecture with vastly superior AI capabilities makes perfect sense for the RTX 60 series, allowing future versions of frame generation and image reconstruction to run with minimal latency and higher quality.

Memory shortage and the fate of the RTX 50
The news of the distant launch of the RTX 60 comes at a delicate time. The current RTX 50 series has faced criticism for maintaining the same production node as the RTX 40 series, resulting in marginal performance gains outside of Frame Generation scenarios.
To make matters worse, rumors indicate that the “Super” update to the current lineup may have been canceled or postponed indefinitely due to global shortages in the food supply chain. DRAM.
With NVIDIA possibly skipping a mid-cycle refresh and focusing its manufacturing resources on high-margin AI chips, enthusiasts may have to wait until the end of 2027 to see a true technological evolution in the graphics segment.
