  • Nvidia nudges mainstream gaming PCs forward with RTX 5060 series, starting at $299

    Nvidia is rounding out its GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards today with the official announcement of the mainstream RTX 5060 series. The company is announcing three new GPUs today: The 5060 Ti will launch on April 16 in both 8GB and 16GB variations, for $379 and $429, respectively. The regular RTX 5060 will follow at some point in May for the same $299 MSRP as the last-generation RTX 4060. It is also sticking with 8GB of RAM.

    Obviously, it remains to be seen whether the company and its partners can actually stock these cards at these prices. GPUs from the top-tier RTX 5090 to the mainstream RTX 5070 have been difficult to impossible to buy at their announced MSRPs. And it’s not just Nvidia’s problem or a high-end problem—AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs have also been hard to buy, as have Intel’s Arc B580 and B570 cards.

    The new graphics cards’ specs essentially match numbers that have been floating around for a couple of months now. Both models include modest increases in the number of CUDA cores compared to the last-generation 4060 and 4060 Ti models, with the same amount of RAM and the same 128-bit memory interface. But an upgrade to GDDR7 instead of GDDR6 provides a healthy bump to memory bandwidth and is probably also partially responsible for an increase in peak power consumption. The 4060 Ti in particular was memory bandwidth-constrained at higher resolutions, so hopefully some extra bandwidth will make it a better choice for a decent 1440p gaming PC.

  • Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti could be 20% faster than the RTX 4060 Ti

    Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5060 Ti 16GB graphics card has once again surfaced in leaked benchmarks, showcasing a sizable performance uplift over its predecessor. According to data obtained by VideoCardz, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB outpaces the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB by approximately 20% in synthetic tests, while trailing the RTX 5070 by nearly 33%.

    The leaked benchmarks results are primarily from 3DMark’s suite of tests including SpeedWay, Steel Nomad, Port Royal, Fire Strike and Time Spy, suggesting that the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB offers a notable generational improvement over the RTX 4060 Ti.  

    As per the shared data, in Speed Way, the card scored 4,055, which is about 25% faster than the 4060 Ti’s 3,239. The Steel Nomad benchmark showed a score of 3,455, roughly 18% ahead of its predecessor’s 2,932. Ray tracing performance in Port Royal was particularly impressive, with the 5060 Ti achieving 9,944 points, marking a 22.6% improvement over the 4060 Ti’s 8,112.

    In DirectX 12 workloads, Time Spy results showed the 5060 Ti pulling 15,389, compared to 13,469 on the 4060 Ti, translating to a 14% gain. In the more demanding Time Spy Extreme, the upcoming card scored 7,136, around 16% better than the 6,153 posted by the 4060 Ti. Traditional rasterization tests also favored the 5060 Ti, with Fire Strike showing a jump to 40,925 from 34,295, an increase of almost 19%. The more intense Fire Strike Extreme saw the 5060 Ti deliver 19,556, beating the 4060 Ti’s 15,937 by around 22.7%. Finally, in Fire Strike Ultra, the card managed 9,175, a notable 25.8% improvement over the 7,294 of the previous generation.

    This data likely comes from a reviewer, so it should give a reasonable indication of the card’s performance, but since the numbers aren’t official it’s best to approach them with some caution. Interestingly, VideoCardz reports that Nvidia is restricting AIBs from sending out the 8GB variant for reviews, meaning most launch-day coverage will focus on the 16GB model. That’s important to note as the larger memory size can heavily impact performance in VRAM-hungry games.

    Similarly, leaked Geekbench test results were reportedly spotted a few days ago, further hinting at a consistent generational uplift for the RTX 5060 Ti. Nvidia is expected to launch the RTX 5060 Ti on April 16 in two configurations: 8GB and 16GB. Both versions will feature the GB206-300-A1 GPU, boasting 4,608 CUDA cores and GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit memory interface. With a 180W TGP, the card should arrive with a single 8-pin connector although there might be a few models that feature the infamous 12V-2×6 power connector.

    With pricing rumored between $400–$450, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB could be a compelling option for gamers who want a taste of Nvidia’s latest Blackwell architecture without spending an exorbitant amount of money.
