Leaked Details Suggest Nvidia RTX 60 Series May Launch in Late 2027
January 9, 2026
A recent leak from a reliable hardware leaker hints that Nvidia's upcoming RTX 60 series graphics cards could be launched in the second half of 2027. While this may seem like a long wait, it aligns with Nvidia's typical release cycle, given that the current RTX 50 series was launched last year.
What's the significance of this leak?
The leak, posted by ‘kopite7kimi’ on X (formerly Twitter), suggests that flagship GPUs like the RTX 6090 might debut around mid to late 2027. This timing potentially coincides with the rumored PC release of GTA 6, a game expected to push the boundaries of graphics technology. Launching a new GPU with GTA 6 could be a strategic move, catering to gamers eager to upgrade their systems for the new title.
Can we expect delays due to RAM prices?
Currently, RAM prices are soaring, raising concerns that Nvidia might delay the RTX 60 series to address supply issues. We've seen Nvidia postpone mid-generation releases such as the RTX 50 series ‘Super’ GPUs, possibly due to ongoing memory shortages. However, the recent leak indicates that these delays might not occur, though this information isn't officially confirmed.
Should we get excited?
While the leak is promising, it's best to approach it with caution. The source has a good track record for accurate disclosures, but the details remain unofficial. Additionally, the second half of 2027 is still a few years away, leaving room for unforeseen delays, especially amid ongoing supply chain challenges.
What about the potential launch alongside GTA 6?
The timing of the RTX 60 series with GTA 6's PC release is speculative. Rockstar has yet to confirm a PC version of GTA 6, and it may not launch simultaneously with the console versions. Although hopes are high for a PC release in 2027, it remains uncertain.
Final thoughts
Even if Nvidia manages to avoid delays, the increasing cost of GPUs could make the new RTX 60 series even pricier. For now, fans and gamers should stay tuned for official updates and consider the usual uncertainties associated with hardware releases.
