NVIDIA’s next-generation GeForce RTX 60 series graphics cards are reportedly delayed and will not launch in 2027. According to a new report from hardware leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead, an inside source confirmed that the upcoming graphics architecture is pushed to 2028. This schedule shift leaves a significant market gap that competitor AMD could exploit with its own hardware releases.
Rather than launching the next-generation GeForce lineup in 2027, NVIDIA reportedly plans to release the RTX 50 Super series. These refresh boards will likely focus on increasing VRAM capacities and providing minor speed boosts over the existing Blackwell models. However, these minor upgrades may not be enough to compete with AMD’s next-generation architecture.

AMD is currently on track to release its new RDNA 5 graphics cards in 2027. The 2027 release timeline is supported by the expected launch of next-generation home consoles like the Sony PlayStation 6, which will use custom AMD graphics hardware. Team Red previously saw market success by pricing RDNA 4 models like the Radeon RX 9070 below MSRP to attract budget-conscious buyers.
If AMD executes the launch properly, board partners could introduce high-end solutions, following custom designs like the Sapphire RX 9070 XT PhantomLink. This would allow AMD to capture high-end desktop market share while NVIDIA struggles with limited retail availability. Currently, high-end NVIDIA graphics cards suffer from high prices due to tight manufacturing supply.
Much of NVIDIA’s focus remains on high-margin artificial intelligence processors, which limits the production capacity allocated to consumer desktop gaming cards. As a result, the upcoming GeForce RTX 60 series will likely face similar retail pricing pressure when it eventually debuts in 2028. This situation gives AMD a clear path to win over enthusiasts looking for reasonable pricing on high-end hardware.
However, industry watchers note that AMD has a history of fumbling strategic opportunities due to poor marketing or driver issues. PC builders will need to wait and see if the company is prepared to capitalize on the delay when 2027 arrives. The official announcement of the RTX 50 Super lineup is expected to clear up the timeline within the next year.
