Prominent leaker reveals Nvidia’s RTX 6000 series launch date
Anyone expecting Nvidia to announce new graphics cards at CES 2026 was disappointed. The company revealed some interesting things, like DLSS 4.5 and G-Sync Pulsar, thoughts on an AI gaming GPU, and possible plans to revive older chips to combat rising costs, but nothing regarding the next round of RTX cards.
According to a report from Wccftech, the RTX 6000 series, codenamed “Rubin”, is still far from being available, referring to statements made by a leaker named “Kopite7kimi” on social media, who previously leaked rumors about Nvidia products that ended up coming true. According to him, the RTX 6000 series will arrive in the second half of 2027.
It also claims that the RTX 6000 series graphics cards will be based on the GR20x family of GPUs. The GPU used for Rubin CPX would be called GR212 and is not actually from the gaming division, as it is not intended for GeForce use.
Based on this, there will of course also be gaming graphics cards that will be part of the GeForce RTX 6000 series. How many different variants will there be at launch? Still unknown. However, the release period is definitely expected to take place in the second half of 2027, so it could be announced in the fourth quarter of 2026 or even at CES 2027.
What about the RTX 50 Super?
There have also been rumors of an internal RTX 50 Super carryover. It’s not official yet, but the difficult situation in the hardware market is reason enough. In addition to rising prices, supply bottlenecks are also causing problems, postponing the launch of Super Cards indefinitely.
Here again, Nvidia and AMD are already wondering whether it would be wise to return to older generations of GPUs in order to avoid price increases and save on production costs.
