Leakers Predict Nvidia RTX 6000 Series Delayed to 2028

Prominent technology leakers now predict that Nvidia's next-generation GeForce RTX 6000 series graphics cards, codenamed Rubin, will not launch until 2028, marking a significant delay from previous expectations of a 2027 release. The shift in timeline is attributed to ongoing global memory shortages and high component costs that have strained the consumer electronics market. The latest forecast comes from the well-known leaker kopite7kimi, who stated on September 21, 2026, that the GR20x family of GPUs is now positioned for a 2028 launch. "Unfortunately, GR20x is a product from 2028. That means they have postponed again," the leaker wrote, adding that they would minimize updates until there is definite news. This prediction follows a similar statement made days earlier by another respected leaker, Kepler_L2, who also indicated the RTX 6000 series would not arrive until 2028. The reported delay is directly linked to the persistent global DRAM shortage and elevated prices for memory and other components. Industry analysis suggests these market conditions are expected to peak in mid-2027, with new production capacity coming online later that year.
