Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
Nvidia has delayed the Super refresh of its RTX 50-series gaming GPUs, which was expected at CES 2026, due to prioritizing AI chip production amid limited RAM supply. The company is also reducing production of current RTX 50-series gaming chips despite high demand. Additionally, the RTX 60-series launch may be pushed back from 2027 to 2028, reflecting Nvidia's strategic shift toward AI over gaming hardware.
