AMD and NVIDIA Next-Gen GPUs at Least a Year Away, Possibly 2028

Next-generation GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA are likely at least a year away, with some estimates pushing launches into 2028. The GPU upgrade cycle is lengthening to 2.5-3 years, driven by AI focus and memory shortages.

RDNA5 and Rubin RTX 60 face delays

AMD's RDNA5-based graphics cards are expected to arrive in Q2 or Q3 2027, according to one board partner. Another board partner suggests the launch could slip to late 2027 or early 2028. NVIDIA's Rubin RTX 60 is rumored for at least the second half of 2027, possibly 2028.

• RTX 5070 SUPER VRAM: 18GB
• RTX 5070 Ti SUPER VRAM: 24GB
• RTX 5080 SUPER VRAM: 24GB
• RTX 5060 VRAM: 12GB
• RTX 50 SUPER memory type: 3GB GDDR7

The RTX 50 SUPER series, previously canceled, is now rumored to launch in 2025 with 3GB GDDR7 memory modules. Specific models include the RTX 5070 SUPER with 18GB, RTX 5070 Ti SUPER with 24GB, and RTX 5080 SUPER with 24GB. The RTX 5060 is expected to feature 12GB on a 128-bit bus.

These rumors come from board partners at Computex Taipei. The conflicting estimates for AMD's RDNA5 highlight uncertainty in the timeline. NVIDIA's Rubin RTX 60 remains unconfirmed, with no official announcement.

The extended upgrade cycle means gamers and professionals may hold onto current GPUs longer. The RTX 50 SUPER series could offer a mid-generation refresh in 2025, but next-gen architectures are still years away.
