Nvidia RTX 6000 series (codename Rubin)
- Thread starter Grim5
- Start date
Hope not 40% on 3k is 4.2k lol
Not sure why we need TSMC for consumer cards, the best generation recently from Nvidia was when they went with Samsung. For example a 3060ti was 50% faster than a 2060S after a single generation yet after the subsequent 2 gens of TSMC chips the 5060ti is only 30% faster than the 3060ti.
[News] TSMC to Implement a Significant Price Hike
As per foreign media reports, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is preparing to implement large-scale price adjustments over the comin...www.trendforce.com
Prices of next gen tech made at TSMC is going to be comical by looks of this.
Imagine the performance jump if Rubin has a 20-30% performance per watt improvement from architecture alone (separate from any process improvements). It's been such a long time since we had this.
Feel we're at the point where it's needed now. They can't easily go above 512bit bus and 600W for the 6090 this time, as things will start to fall apart at that stage.

What's the bus width got to do with it though, by itself it doesn't increase performance, memory bandwidth it just acts as a bottleneck on the GPU if the GPU is powerful enough, which you can get around anyway by adding more cache or using HBM. In case faster gddr7 is available, you don't need higher bus width to get more gddr7 bandwidth

Timeline update for a delay unfortunately. When I made this thread in January 2025 the belief was that Rubin server would launch very early 2026 and then based on the 6 month Nvidia standard cadence between server and desktop, desktop RTX6000 would launch late 2026.
However Jensen now says Rubin server enters mass production this time next year - meaning late 2026. So now we're looking at desktop RTX6000 cards only launching mid to late 2027, meaning we're still 18 to 22 months away from new Nvidia GPUs
Kind of annoying for me as I wanted to build a new PC next year and now I have to wait for 2027

Means I get a bigger chunk of time with my 5090 which is why I got in as early as possible. Bring on the 6090.
Sort of the same thing here, I got in early with my 4090 purchase and the longer we still have to wait for the RTX6000 launch, the better value my original purchase becomes. 4090 launched at $1600 in October 2022, I ordered but only received mine in November. Fast forward, now I might only get to replace it in mid 2027 with a 6090 - about 4 and a half years later. That works to under $1 a day to own what will still be the second fastest gaming gpu available before RTX6000 launches and its cheaper than renting hardware from Nvidia's streaming service as well.
Never the less I'm still sad, because there are other components in my build I want to replace and prefer just doing a total new build at once. Some of my parts are barely hanging on, my case fans for example are now dying one after another

I wonder if AMD might make it to market faster and if RDNA 5 rumours are to be believed then it is looking like it might close the gap with Nvidia even more than this gen, this might force Nvidia to release sooner otherwise they might loose market share.Timeline update for a delay unfortunately.

That would be interesting but from the trend of the last several generations AMD will wait to see what Nvidia's cards are priced at and follow suit. When was the last time AMD released first in a gen, the 7970?
This is a huge window of opportunity for AMD and Intel.
