NVIDIA is reportedly revising its consumer GPU roadmap after ongoing memory supply constraints began disrupting upcoming launches and current-generation production.
According to a new report from The Information, the chipmaker currently has no plans to release a new consumer graphics card this year, while also cutting output of its RTX 50-series lineup. The situation was already hinted at earlier in the year when NVIDIA avoided discussing next-gen gaming GPUs during presentations at CES.
The reported changes follow an industry-wide DRAM shortage that has forced several manufacturers to reassess future launches and production targets.
RTX 50 SUPER and RTX 60 timelines reportedly impacted
NVIDIA’s next planned consumer refresh, the RTX 50 SUPER series, had previously been expected to appear this year. Early reports had already suggested the cards could slip into Q3 2026, but The Information now claims the company may skip launching any new gaming GPUs in the near term.
The report also states that NVIDIA’s next-generation RTX 60 “Rubin” lineup, originally targeted for a late-2027 release window, has been pushed back as a result of the same memory constraints.
If GPU vendors continue scaling back future launches, the report notes it could ripple through the PC hardware ecosystem, limiting flexibility for add-in-board partners and other manufacturers tied to new product cycles.
The slowdown comes as companies like NVIDIA and AMD continue to prioritize AI infrastructure, which is consuming large volumes of advanced memory and production capacity.
The Information adds that NVIDIA is reducing output of its current RTX 50-series cards, a move that could keep retail availability tight and pricing elevated in the coming months.
The only consumer-focused products still expected in the near term are NVIDIA’s rumored N1X and N1 ARM-based chips, which are aimed at AI-powered PCs rather than traditional gaming desktops.
Back in November, Nvidia said it’s not a gaming company anymore as AI hardware continues to drive record-breaking revenue.
