"The Super refresh to Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs was expected at CES 2026 in January, but it didn't make an appearance. The Information reports that in December, Nvidia managers decided not to release the new cards as scheduled, choosing to prioritize AI chips instead due to the limited supply of RAM currently available. On top of that, "Nvidia is also slashing production of its current line of gaming chips," the RTX 50-series, which are already in high demand and consistently sold out at retailers."
"The RTX 50-series Super delay not only means there's currently no new gaming GPU launch from Nvidia scheduled for this year, but it could push back next-generation cards, too. According to The Information 's source, the RTX 60-series was "originally scheduled to begin mass production at the end of 2027," and pushing that back could send it into 2028 or even later."
The RTX 50-series Super refresh expected at CES 2026 did not appear after Nvidia managers decided in December not to release the new cards as scheduled. Nvidia prioritized AI chip production due to limited RAM and is slashing production of the current RTX 50-series despite high demand. Data center revenue was $51.2 billion of $57 billion in Q3 2026, while gaming revenue rose 30 percent but remains a much smaller share. The delay could push RTX 60-series mass production from late 2027 into 2028 or later, and ongoing RAM shortages are delaying releases across the industry and raising prices.
