There is a chance Nvidia could still release new GPUs later in 2026, but this latest report has dampened hopes of that occurring. Nvidia's next generation RTX 60 series GPUs are now likely begin production in 2028.
The memory chip shortage is also causing mayhem with Nvidia's existing GPUs; Nvidia is rumored to have slashed GPU supply by 20%, and Nvidia is also prioritizing RTX 50 series GPUs with lower VRAM capacity to combat the shortage. The only good news in all of this is that Jensen Huang is looking to resurrect old GPUs to keep the market fresh with as much GPU supply as possible.

DS426 I'm not a gambling man, but here's my bet: we'll see 50 series Super in 2027 and 60 series in 2028. Not sure if production wind-down of 50 series vanilla would be like Q4 of this year or Q1 2027 or ??? Strange times we're living in when new gaming GPU architectures will come every three years while AI GPU's will come annually. Reply
bolweval Well maybe game companies can work on making better games than just games that look good… Reply
thestryker Unfortunately for the client user nvidia is in a situation where they don't really have competition. From a business standpoint it absolutely makes sense to just roll with what they have and save the super launch until there's a reason for it. Intel doesn't seem likely to have any client discrete graphics this year and AMD has largely been radio silence. At this point there isn't much to look forward to this year for most folks aside from the interest in how things perform. Reply
warezme Investing in that 4090 is looking better and better lately. The world has gone mad. Reply
Gururu Maybe they think the 5090 will hold up at 4K for the next two CPU generations. If that is the case, then they have thought this through. Also, given how DLSS 4.5 handles ray tracing, it looks like the 5090/DLSS combo has so much more potential to the point that continual DLSS improvements along with AI will make even more detailed environments possible. Of course, NOT depending on MFG which should not be needed at all for a flagship. Reply
dimar Fine with me. Maybe we'll get a huge generational boost. Reply
