Rumor mill has been abuzz with speculation about the timing and performance of Nvidia's upcoming mainstream graphics card, the RTX 6060. According to prominent leaker Kepler_L2, the card may not be released until as late as 2029, trailing significantly behind next-generation consoles. The main culprit behind this delay is the ongoing memory supply shortages, primarily due to the AI data center expansion.
These shortages have already made current GPUs pricier and harder to come by, leading Nvidia to delay the RTX 50 Super series, originally expected in mid-2026. The RTX 6060 is expected to arrive in 2028, extending the generational release gap to nearly four years. This would be a stark contrast to the average gap of just over two years between mainstream GPU generations.
As for the RTX 6060's performance relative to Sony's upcoming PlayStation 6, it's too early to say with certainty. However, Kepler_L2 believes Sony's console will launch earlier and outperform the RTX 6060. The PS6 is rumored to feature 40 to 48 RDNA 5 compute units, potentially bringing it close to the 5070 Ti in performance. However, the PS6's price could surpass the $1,000 mark due to high memory and storage costs, while the RTX 6060's price remains uncertain.
The 5060 launched at $300 but now retails for around $470, indicating a potential price gap between the two cards.
