6090 speculation

[minecraftyeet1]

Does anyone know if the 6090 will be able to run 4k games at max settings at 144hz?

 

 

[porina]

It depends on the game, and there will likely be some that wont for many reasons, including outside the GPU itself. Pointless speculating about it this far in advance anyway.

The 5090 JUST came out. There isn't even any rumors of 6090 at this point. Come back in 2 years.

[Hinjima]

It all depends on the game and of course your CPU, RAM etc etc.

We know that Rubin will be on a smaller 3nm node and they are targetting better performance per watt compared to Blackwell.

Thats about all we know right now.

 

Rumors / Speculation point towards a 2026 release as Blackwell was pushed back 6 months due to its issues and TSMC 3nm node for Rubin / RTX 6000 is 6 months ahead of expected development.  If Nvidia still wants to wait is unknown.

if nvidia is already working on a 6090, thats even more of a reason to believe the 50 series is a refresh

I think you have a misunderstanding of how product development cycles work if you are surprised they are actively developing Rubin. Two full years before release isn't that hard to believe. They're not' going to conceptualize, develop and produce a whole new architecture in a couple months, these things take a few years. .

RTX 50 series is definitely a refresh since its still using the same 4nm node as RTX 40 series.  They just increased the power draw for more performance without actually innovating.  There is really nothing new here at all.

 

They are absolutely working on the RTX 6000, they started that well before RTX 5000 launched.

if Nvidia can get all there problems under control with melting power connectors, black screening, and faulty cores, and they can get the price down the 6090 will be a force to be reckoned with

Im not saying im suprised, but they also have several other 50 series releases lined up, so for them to already have leaks out on the 60 series is crazy.

This isn't anything new or surprising unless this is maybe your first major GPU release?

They started development for RTX 6000 quite a long time ago.  I guess maybe back in 2023,2022 or even before that.  It takes a long time to develop a new architecture.

 

If you want to follow leaks and rumors I suggest two channels on youtube.  RedGamingTech and Moore's Law Is Dead

sounds like their serious about this launch. maybe we will finally see an amd ending gpu

6090 probably will be 2500$ with native performance worse than 5090 and ai performance 2x 5090 (10 x frame gen )

This is a joke

[tkitch]

The 6090 is well into development.

But, NVidia is pretty good at killing early rumors, so no, there aren't any, and we won't hear any useful rumors for 1.5 years or so.  

 

They're also working on the 7000 series and 8000 series, at various stages.  

 

Cuz it takes *years* to produce an architecture.

There is no silicon design work needed on 50 series at this point. That would probably have been completed ball park a year ago. Since then it is manufacturing optimisation. At this time they should be well into 60 series design, and already looking at what is going into 70 series.

 

Where I used to work had shorter product cycles than those making silicon. The process went something like:

• future technology - research and identify what could go into products generations down the line
• market research/product planning - consider future market needs at time of sale, and what technology will be available to do that
• lock product requirements based on above, then start to actually design it
• when design is sufficiently done (still room for tweaks), get prototypes made
• test prototypes, and refine as necessary. If silicon respin is needed, that can add significant delays. This happened to the server based Blackwell chips, and Intel had problems with this too. Where previously reported, AMD have had better first time success rate although I don't know if that is still the case today. The rumoured cancellation of high end RDNA4 might suggest otherwise.
• when sufficiently mature, get partners lined up for mass production
• ship it!

I think Intel was reported to take roughly a year from first time powering on silicon to product in stores, but my memory might be off on that. There's a big gap from "it works" to mass production.

 

Edit: above is for hardware design only. Software/firmware are parallel to that too. Implementing initial software support for example would be considered design, but ongoing support, such as driver updates, was called sustaining engineering where I used to work.

Hopefully not

If that happens then Nvidia has a complete monopoly aka we are F'ed to the maximum

[venomtail]

No, the 6090 will be a 1440p card because next Unreal Engine 6 will run even worse, especially in Fortnite 2 and the sequel 2 Fortnite 2 Royale.

but there is intel atleast. also i ment a gpu thats not half assed

Intel has like 2% of the market

 

Lets be generous and say 5%

 

AMD has 15ish%

 

Nvidia currently holds nearly 80%

 

Intel does not have the recognition and reliability history AMD did so in the instance AMD goes poof in the GPU market the 15% at best would be a 10% to nvidia and 5% to Intel

 

At worst intel might get nearly nothing meaning Nvidia would be over 90% the marketshare titan which in fact is a monopoly

Then it doesnt matter if nvidia has a half baked GPU or not

 

The ppl wont have an alternative worth considering as the gap between intel and nvidia is simply too vast still aka Nvidia can put out a 7060 for example that is 6gb simply because they can and nobody can challenge them

 

The progress is the most when there is competition sadly and nvidia thankfully cannot be a monopoly or there will be backlash by governing bodies and they will be forced to do more than the bare minimum which is what they have been failing to do for years and I'm afraid they wont

 

 

 

[Stahlmann]

The first GPU that was fast enough to AVERAGE 4K gaming around 144 fps was the 4090. There will always be games running much faster or much slower. So yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say the 6090 will be able to do that. But still, it's kinda pointless to think about what next gen's flagship can do when the current gen isn't even widely available yet. And again, the last gen flagship already does it.

[05032-Mendicant-Bias]

Who knows what the market will be like when the 6000 series will come out.

 

I'm almost certain we'll first get 5000 super series with better price/performance. E.g. a 5080 Ti with 24GB VRAM using the 3GB chips

 

Hopefully the AI bubble will have popped by then, and Nvidia won't get the fourth consecutive bubble that speculatively buys every GPU they can manufacture at three times the profit margins...

[LAwLz]

My uncle works at Nvidia, so I asked him, and he told me that the 6090 will be able to play Quake 3 Arena at 4K, 144Hz. 

[ZerueLX11]

Come back in two years...

 

We aren't getting a RTX 6090 for at least two years. Discussion is pointless. 

 

GTX 1080, May 27, 2016

GTX 2080, September 20, 2018  +2.31 years

RTX 3090, September 24, 2020 +2.01 years

RTX 4090, October 12, 2022        +2.04 years

RTX 5090, January 30, 2025       +2.30 years

RTX 6090, March 26, 2027            +2.15 years ESTIMATED ON AVERAGE TREND.

Well my uncle and beat up your uncle and MY uncle said the 6090 will evolve beyond RTX to ARTX (Augmented RTX) and can play Crysis 5 and 8K 144Hz
