Nvidia’s RTX 50-series Super refresh is delayed, and the RTX 60-series might miss 2027
The Verge
Nvidia has delayed the RTX 50-series Super refresh to prioritize AI chip production amid RAM shortages, potentially pushing the RTX 60-series launch past 2027.Summary
Nvidia has reportedly delayed the expected January 2026 CES launch of its RTX 50-series Super GPU refresh. Managers decided in December to prioritize AI chip production due to limited RAM supply, leading to a cut in production for the current high-demand RTX 50-series gaming chips.
This shift reflects Nvidia's massive revenue growth driven by AI, which accounted for $51.2 billion of its $57 billion Q3 2026 earnings, dwarfing the 30 percent growth seen in gaming revenue.
The delay not only removes any new gaming GPU launch for the current year but could also push back the next-generation RTX 60-series, which was slated for mass production in late 2027, potentially into 2028 or later, contingent on the ongoing RAM shortage.
