Nvidia won't release new RTX cards in 2026; RTX 60-series delayed
A report in The Information says Nvidia will not release any new graphics cards for gamers in 2026, citing two people with direct knowledge. It also claims the next-generation RTX 60-series has been delayed; mass production had been scheduled to begin at the end of 2027.
Current RTX 50-series cards are already expensive, and charging more for GPUs with extra VRAM and higher clocks would make little economic sense. Late last year, reports suggested Nvidia planned to cut gaming GPU production by up to 40% in 2026 and to stop bundling VRAM with chips for its AIB partners; The Information says one source has confirmed that current-generation production is being slashed.
With TSMC's manufacturing capacity limited and likely prioritised for AI GPUs, gaming cards face further supply pressure. Pushing the RTX 60-series beyond 2027 points to a potential release in 2028, by which time Nvidia's post-Rubin architecture, Feynman, is due out in AI GPU form.
