NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 Series to Launch on Rubin Architecture No Earlier Than 2027

Recent reports indicate that NVIDIA's next-generation gaming graphics cards, expected under the GeForce RTX 60 brand, will utilize the new Rubin architecture. This confirms the separation of GPU development for gaming and data center segments.

Well-known insider Kopite7kimi has reported that the GeForce RTX 60 lineup will be based on the GR20x family of graphics processors, specifically designed for gaming solutions. This means the Rubin architecture, previously announced for server solutions, will also form the foundation of future consumer graphics cards. Unlike specialized data center accelerators like the GR100 or GR212, the gaming segment is expected to feature chips such as GR202, GR203, and other models from the GR20x series.

Current information suggests the GeForce RTX 60 series will launch no earlier than the second half of 2027. This timeline is indirectly influenced by the situation with the preceding generation: the announcement of the RTX 50 SUPER series has reportedly been delayed, presumably due to issues with memory supply and other components.

The transition to the Rubin architecture is expected to involve a more advanced manufacturing process, which could increase transistor density. At the same time, judging by data on the size of NVIDIA's flagship chips, a significant increase in die area may not occur—the company may focus on optimizing performance and energy efficiency.

The exact specifications and performance of the future graphics cards remain speculative for now. However, the confirmation of Rubin's use in the gaming segment points to continuity in the development of NVIDIA's architectures after Blackwell.
