Nvidia RTX 6080 Reportedly Delayed to 2028, According to Leaker
Nvidia’s next-generation graphics cards, reportedly based on the Rubin architecture and branded as the RTX 60 series, have been delayed to 2028 according to known hardware leaker Kopite7Kimi. The postponement pushes back what would have been a typical two-year release cycle following the RTX 5090’s January 2025 launch at CES, with previous speculation suggesting a mid-to-late 2027 release before the latest delay announcement.
Multiple leakers have corroborated the 2028 timeline, with Kopite7Kimi specifically referencing the architecture as “GR20x.” The delay represents the latest in a series of postponements affecting Nvidia’s graphics card roadmap over the past year, suggesting ongoing challenges in the company’s GPU development or release strategy.
For consumers, the extended timeline means significantly longer wait times for substantial performance upgrades in the consumer gaming GPU market. Nvidia’s current-generation graphics cards will remain the latest available options for competitive gaming and graphics performance for an additional year beyond previous expectations.
