It looks like we are going to have to wait quite a bit before we get to see any next-generation gaming GPUs. There might be some refreshes, but given the current memory crisis, even those feel unlikely.

Then we got the latest report on NVIDIA’s next-gen RTX 60 “Rubin” lineup, which is currently expected to launch in the second half of 2027, most likely a late 2027 launch. As per Kepler, AMD will be launching its GPUs after NVIDIA’s RTX 60 lineup.
