Nvidia Fails to Mention Gaming in Earnings Report, and Now I Wonder When the RTX 6080 Will Ever Come Out

Nvidia released its Q2 2027 earnings report yesterday, and while it's obvious the company is making a ton of money on data centers – up 106% from this time last year – the company didn't mention gaming once.

That shouldn't be too surprising. After all, Team Green dropped the gaming category from its earnings report last quarter, moving it into 'edge computing.' In that category this quarter, the only time 'RTX' shows up is when the RTX Spark, launched at Computex 2026, was mentioned. I've had the chance to play with the RTX Spark-equipped Surface a couple times at events since then, and while it's definitely capable of gaming, systems with that chipset are absolutely geared more toward local AI workloads than playing Alan Wake 2.

At least part of the reason gaming wasn't mentioned, I suspect, is because we're smack dab in the middle of a GPU generation right now. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and the rest of the Blackwell GeForce lineup came out about a year and a half ago, so it makes sense that gaming is a bit quiet. But, with how much cash AI is making Nvidia, and with the RAM crisis – which Nvidia absolutely contributes to – driving graphics card prices through the roof, I can't help but wonder when we're going to actually see new GPUs.

I've seen rumors that the RTX 6080 likely won't be launching until the end of 2027 at the earliest, which, if true, would make this one of the longest graphics generations in memory.
