IT Home reported on November 14 that 英伟达 has faced major upheavals over the past week; with 黄仁勋 leaving as CEO, concerns have arisen over the future of GeForce graphics cards and the entire gaming business. 英伟达 brand promoter Jacob 弗里曼 denied that the company will abandon the gaming GPU business and, in posts on X during PDXLAN, stressed continued support for PC gaming, answering “No” to a user who asked whether the GeForce era was ending. The report also noted that an AI-driven DRAM supply crisis, especially a shortage of 3GB GDDR7 memory chips, has delayed the RTX 50 “SUPER” series originally planned for the first half of 2026—with rumors of an indefinite postponement—shifting attention to the RTX 60 series, which is reportedly planned for the second half of 2027 using the Rubin architecture.

As 黄仁勋 Departs as CEO, 英伟达 Brand Promoter 弗里曼 Says GeForce Graphics Cards Won't End

IT之家 reported on November 14 that over the past week, 英伟达 has experienced a series of major changes. With 黄仁勋 departing as CEO, the outlook for GeForce graphics cards and the entire gaming business has raised concerns.

However, 英伟达 brand promoter Jacob 弗里曼 stepped forward to address outside concerns, explicitly denying that the company would abandon its gaming graphics card business, reassuring many players who were considering switching to AMD or Intel.

While attending PDXLAN, one of North America's largest LAN gaming gatherings, 弗里曼 posted on X to respond to the company's recent turmoil, stressing that 英伟达 will continue to support the PC gaming business.

He also shared several photos looking back at 英伟达's years of involvement in the event. “A lot has happened this week. I feel very fortunate to work with so many great colleagues who love PC gaming, hardware, and technology. Our work will continue!”

Soon after, an X user asked directly: “Hey Jacob, many people are saying the GeForce era is coming to an end. What do you think?” 弗里曼 answered flatly: “No.”

Previously, some players had worried that 英伟达 would abandon its gaming graphics card business altogether, leaving them with no chance to upgrade to RTX 6000 series graphics cards.

However, affected by the explosive growth of the global AI industry, the DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) market is currently facing a severe supply crisis, especially a shortage of 3GB GDDR7 memory modules. IT之家 previously reported that these factors forced the RTX 50 “SUPER” series, originally scheduled for release in the first half of 2026, to be delayed, and even earlier this year there were reports that its launch had been “shelved indefinitely.”

This gap has led the market to focus ahead of time on the more distant RTX 60 series. Reports early this year said that 英伟达 plans to launch RTX 60 series graphics cards in the second half of 2027, using the Rubin architecture.
