Description:
Nvidias next gen RTX 60 GPUs could arrive just in time for GTA 6s PC port
but could the RAM apocalypse cause problems?
FULL STORY ======================================================================New
leak suggests RTX 60 series could come late 2027 Source is a leaker with a solid history Increase in RAM prices could delay the launch
It finally seems like there could be some good news for PC gamers, as a reliable hardware leaker has suggested that Nvidias next generation RTX 60 series graphics cards will launch in the second half of 2027.
While that might still seem like quite a wait, its roughly what weve been expecting, as the current generation, the RTX 50 series , launched last year, and Nvidia usually waits a few years before launching brand-new
architectures.
If this leak is accurate, then it could mean new Nvidia RTX 60 series GPUs, such as the RTX 6090 , could launch around the same time as the rumored GTA 6 PC port. That would be great timing, as the highly-anticipated game will likely be a graphical tour-de-force, and many PC gamers will want to update their rigs with cutting-edge tech.
As Notebookcheck.net reports , hardware leaker kopite7kimi posted on X , formerly Twitter, replying to a user who asked if the RTX 6090 is coming out in 2028. Their rather blunt reply of 2027H2 suggests that the flagship RTX 60-series GPU, presumably alongside other expected GPUs like the RTX 6080, will launch later next year. (Image credit: Future)
With RAM prices currently skyrocketing , there has been concern that Nvidia could delay the launch of the RTX 60 series until supply issues are sorted. Theres been no sign of Nvidias mid-generation RTX 50 series Super GPUs ,
which were missing in action at CES 2026 , with many people assuming that the global memory shortage has forced Nvidia to delay their launch.
If kopite7kimis rather cryptic post is accurate, it does suggest that fears that Nvidia could delay its next-gen GPUs are (at the moment, at least) unfounded. Time to get excited?
While its encouraging to think that Nvidias upcoming generation of GPUs wont be delayed, I wouldnt get too excited yet.
Although kopite7kimi has a pretty good track record of accurate leaks, their post doesnt give any indication of where they are getting this information, and its not entirely clear if they are talking about the RTX 6090, or the RTX 60 series as a whole.
Since weve only just started 2026, the second half of 2027 is far enough away that theres still plenty of time for some unexpected delays to crop up, especially as the RAM price crises shows no sign of ending any time soon.
The RTX 60-series launching around the same time as GTA 6 on PC might also be a bit of wishful thinking on my part. Rockstar, the company behind the iconic franchise, has not mentioned anything about a PC release. Im still hopeful that GTA 6 will end up on PC, as every other main entry in the series has
done (in fact, the original game started off as a PC game), but theres no guarantee it will launch in 2027, despite being a year after the (much delayed) release on consoles, which is due later this year.
Not to be too negative, but even if the RTX 60-series does indeed avoid
delays due to the RAM price crises, there could still be repercussions, with Nvidias already-expensive GPUs possibly getting even pricier.
