Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Super refresh and RTX 60 series reportedly delayed

A plethora of rumours from last year (2025) suggested Nvidia would show off its RTX 50 Super lineup at CES 2026. Unfortunately, Nvidia had little in the way of consumer-facing announcements and focused heavily on AI. If a new report from The Information (via Reddit) is accurate, those looking to buy a new Nvidia GPU in 2026 will be disappointed.

Apparently, the entire RTX 50 Super lineup has been pushed back to an unspecified date. At this point, it would be reasonable to assume Nvidia has scrapped it altogether. After all, the main point of the refresh was to increase the amount of VRAM on existing Blackwell graphics cards, and with memory in short supply, Nvidia might not be able to keep prices in check.

As a result, the next-gen RTX 60 series of gaming GPUs based on the Rubin architecture has also been impacted. Initially slated for a late 2027 release, they will likely launch in 2028, if not later. At the moment, Nvidia has focused all its efforts on fulfilling its massive backlog of AI hardware.

The report also adds that Nvidia might cut production of existing RTX 50 SKUs. This aligns with earlier rumours that predicted the same, with the 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5070 Ti to get impacted first. Essentially, the only 16 GB Nvidia GPU will be the GeForce RTX 5080—and even that will likely sell for exorbitant prices.

Essentially, the only affordable gaming GPUs with 16 GB of VRAM will come from AMD, namely the Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9060 XT. Intel’s rumoured Arc B770 also has the same amount of memory, but, at the time of writing, it exists only in hearsay.
