When is RTX 60 coming? Leaks say 2028: buy a graphics card now or wait?

When is RTX 60 coming? Leaks say 2028: buy a graphics card now or wait?

Many gamers are asking the same question: should I buy a graphics card now, or wait for the next generation from NVIDIA and AMD? The latest leaks say the wait could be longer than expected, because the RTX 60 series and most RDNA 5 cards may not arrive until 2028. In this article we explain exactly what the leaks say, why it matters to you, and when waiting makes sense versus when buying now is the better call.

What happened?

According to reports from tech sites such as Notebookcheck, Club386 and PC Guide, the well-known leaker Kepler_L2 said the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 series and most AMD RDNA 5 cards will arrive in 2028, and that AMD may launch only one RDNA 5 card in 2027 (referred to in leaks as AT2), competing with the RTX 5080 class.

According to the same reports, the reason given is the huge demand for AI, which is taking up a large share of TSMC's manufacturing capacity, so companies are prioritising data-centre chips.

Earlier, a leak from RedGamingTech had expected RTX 60 and RDNA 5 to launch in 2027, with NVIDIA's cards possibly slipping to late 2027 or early 2028.

Important: these are all leaks and rumours. NVIDIA and AMD have not announced any official date for the next generation, and have not confirmed any delay.

Why does it matter to you?

If the leaks are right, today's RTX 50 cards (such as the RTX 5060, RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080) will remain NVIDIA's newest generation for a long time. Anyone saying "I'll wait for the next generation" could be waiting a year or more without a new card to play on.

At the same time, there are reports of pressure on memory prices because of AI demand, which could feed into component prices over time. So waiting does not always mean a lower price.

Buy now or wait?

Buying now makes sense if:

  • Your current card no longer runs the games you want at settings you are happy with.
  • You are building a new PC from scratch and want to start playing now.
  • You want current-generation features such as DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation in supported games.
  • You have found a good deal, especially during the 11.11 sale.

Waiting makes sense if:

  • Your current card is strong and meets your needs very well.
  • You have no specific game or workload that needs an upgrade now.
  • You want the highest tier possible and are willing to wait with no confirmed date.

Tips before you buy a graphics card

  1. Know your monitor resolution: 1080p, 1440p or 4K is the biggest factor in choosing the right tier.
  2. Check your power supply: confirm the wattage and connectors the card needs before you buy.
  3. Measure your case: some cards are long or thick, so make sure it fits.
  4. Don't forget the CPU: a weak processor can hold back a strong card.
  5. Update your drivers: install the latest driver from the NVIDIA App or the manufacturer's site after installing the card.
