Alleged Nvidia RTX 60 series GPU Specifications Leak

It looks like Nvidia’s RTX 60 series doubles down on path tracing

A new leak has unveiled alleged specifications for Nvidia’s RTX 60-series GPUs, along with performance targets. If these rumours are correct, Nvidia’s next-generation RTX graphics cards will use GR20x “Rubin” series silicon with TSMC 3nm silicon.

According to Red Gaming Tech, Nvidia’s RTX 60 series aims for a “2x” increase in path-tracing performance over the RTX 50 series. In non-raytracing (“pure raster”) performance, gains will reportedly be much smaller at around 30-35%. If this is true, Nvidia is doubling down on ray tracing and path tracing performance with its RTX 60 series. These new GPUs will reportedly feature 6th-Generation Tensor Cores and 5th-Generation RT Cores.

With both PlayStation 6 and Xbox “Project Helix” (leaked specs here), it makes sense for Nvidia to target path tracing harder than ever. After all, these will be the first consoles with powerful ray tracing hardware. That means that next-generation games should make extensive use of ray tracing, unlike today’s PS5 and Xbox Series X/S games.
