NVIDIA scraps RTX 50 SUPER plans, pushes back RTX 60 GPUs

NVIDIA is reportedly abandoning plans to release GeForce RTX 50 SUPER graphics cards in 2026 and is also pushing back its next-generation RTX 60 lineup, according to a new report.

The report comes via Wccftech, which cites a recent investigation by The Information pointing to an escalating VRAM supply crisis as the key factor behind NVIDIA’s decision.

RTX 50 SUPER may never launch at all

According to the report, NVIDIA has decided not to introduce enhanced Blackwell-based RTX 50 SUPER GPUs this year. While the long-term fate of the SUPER refresh remains unclear, sources suggest NVIDIA may cancel the lineup entirely rather than delay it.

The primary issue is a growing shortage of video memory, reportedly making it difficult for NVIDIA to justify launching higher-end SKUs that require additional VRAM. With memory resources under pressure, introducing a SUPER refresh could strain supply even further.

Production cuts signal potential GPU shortages

The situation appears to extend beyond a single canceled refresh. The report claims NVIDIA has already scaled back production of existing RTX 50-series GPUs due to limited VRAM supply.

As a result, gamers may face another wave of GPU shortages, particularly in high-performance segments where memory demands are higher. If production remains constrained, availability of flagship models could tighten once again.

RTX 60 (Rubin) reportedly pushed back

The VRAM crunch is also impacting NVIDIA’s longer-term roadmap. The upcoming GeForce RTX 60 series, based on the Rubin architecture, was originally expected to arrive in late 2027.

However, The Information reports that the RTX 60 launch has been delayed indefinitely, with no revised release window disclosed. At this point, NVIDIA has not provided any official guidance on when the next-generation GPUs might reach the market.

What this means for the GPU Market

If the report is accurate, NVIDIA’s GPU roadmap is under significant pressure — not from competition, but from memory supply constraints. A canceled RTX 50 SUPER refresh, reduced production of current GPUs, and a delayed RTX 60 generation would collectively tighten the GPU market once again.

For consumers, that could mean:

• fewer high-end GPU options
• limited availability of current models
• a longer lifecycle for existing RTX 50 cards

NVIDIA has not officially commented on the report.
