Nvidia could be preparing to launch its next-generation RTX 60 series graphics cards in the first half of 2027, with the RTX 6090 potentially leading the lineup.

According to a new report from Moore’s Law Is Dead, Nvidia has apparently greenlit the RTX 60 series and is now targeting the first half of 2027 for its launch. The report claims the company has been working on the new GPUs for months and is trying to keep details under wraps.



If the report is accurate, this would also mean Nvidia has changed its plans for the RTX 50 SUPER series. Recent rumours have suggested that the RTX 50 SUPER cards have been delayed, but this latest leak claims Nvidia could scrap the refresh altogether and move straight to the RTX 60 series.

There is, however, a pretty big problem with this.

The GPU market is already dealing with significant memory supply issues, with demand from the AI industry putting further pressure on available components. That has already been linked to delays surrounding Nvidia’s RTX 50 SUPER cards.

Launching an entirely new generation of GPUs in the first half of 2027 would potentially make those problems even more difficult.

A new generation would likely require newer and faster memory, while demand for flagship GPUs would also be significantly higher at launch. That could make the RTX 6090 particularly expensive if Nvidia does manage to bring it to market next year.



And there are already conflicting reports about when the RTX 60 series will actually arrive.

Earlier rumours suggested Nvidia could launch the RTX 60 series in the second half of 2027, while other reports have pointed towards an even later release.

Adding even more uncertainty to the story, well-known GPU leaker MEGAsizeGPU has pushed back against the latest report, calling it a fake rumour and pointing towards Nvidia’s ongoing supply-chain problems. That makes the alleged first-half 2027 launch far from certain.

Nvidia itself has also yet to announce anything regarding the RTX 60 series or an RTX 6090, so for now, everything surrounding the next generation remains firmly in rumour territory.

If Nvidia really is targeting the first half of 2027, we could potentially hear more about the RTX 60 series at an event such as GTC or Computex next year. But until Nvidia actually confirms its plans, I’d take this particular rumour with a very large pinch of salt.

For now, the RTX 6090 isn’t official, and there is no confirmed release date, pricing or specifications.

Considering how much the GPU market has changed over the past year, Nvidia’s next-generation cards could be very interesting. The bigger question is whether Nvidia can actually produce enough of them at a price that makes sense for gamers.
