Nvidia’s RTX 5060 GPUs are launching soon, with price cuts on the RTX 5060 Ti

Assuming they past the latest circular of marketplace shenanigans

The GeForce RTX 50 bid – Nvidia’s hated, adored, but ne'er ignored household of gaming GPUs – could soon beryllium complete, arsenic the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti person been specced retired up of their imminent releases. These are mostly as-expected replacements for the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti, with mean show bumps augmented by DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation, though the RTX 5060 Ti is getting a lowered MSRP connected some its 8GB and 16GB variants.

While determination won't beryllium a Founders Edition for immoderate of these, spouse versions of the 8GB RTX 5060 Ti volition commencement from £349 / $379 - £40 / $20 little than the 8GB 4060 Ti. Base-price 16GB models, meanwhile, volition shed £80 / $70 from the last-gen equivalent, selling astatine £399 / $429. Both are officially launching this Wednesday, April 16th, though an Nvidia spokesperson told digitally gathered reporters past week (myself included) that a batch of 8GB RTX 5060 Ti models mightiness not really spell connected merchantability until aboriginal on.

As for the RTX 5060, that’s sticking solely to 8GB, and volition commencement astatine $299 (UK pricing TBC) erstwhile it has its ain as-yet-unspecified merchandise successful May. The deficiency of other VRAM implicit the RTX 4060 volition apt support it constricted to 1080p duties, though that’s evidently not been a occupation for the latter, which presently sits 2nd connected Steam’s database of the most-used graphics cards. Only after, funnily enough, the RTX 3060. It does usage newer GDDR7 memory, though, arsenic does the RTX 5060 Ti.

Here beryllium immoderate Nvidia-provided benchmark graphs to adjacent over, and yes, you can click to marque them quality eye-sized. Predictably, they number MFG’s AI-generated frames successful amongst the traditionally rendered ones, which trickifies the concern of making halfway show comparisons against erstwhile generations. Except, that is, successful A Plague Tale: Requiem, which lacks MFG enactment and is frankincense comparable with the RTX 4060’s lowly 2x framework gen. Nvidia, you fools! Now it’s laid bare that, uh, some 5060 GPUs are astir 20% faster implicit their 4060 counterparts, which doesn’t dependable each that bad. Especially close aft the RTX 5070, which is fundamentally conscionable an RTX 4070 Super with a caller hat.

Frame procreation remains arsenic contentious a taxable arsenic the RTX 50 scope itself, and to beryllium honest, I’m inactive not definite however it’s perceived and utilized by the bulk of mean players. Maybe you’d similar to reply the canvass beneath and amended maine connected that point. I volition accidental that each framework gen systems – MFG, DLSS 3, FSR, the batch – enactment champion erstwhile your PC is already churning retired a steadfast proviso of mean frames, truthful cheaper GPUs similar the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti mightiness not beryllium capable to trust connected them arsenic overmuch arsenic a hulking RTX 5080. Here’s hoping the pre-generation framerate boost implicit the RTX 40 bid is real, though evidently we person but the 1 rat-dodging stealth crippled for information points.

It's besides unclear whether those (otherwise precise agreeable) RTX 5060 Ti terms drops volition really hold. Most of the erstwhile RTX 50 GPU launches person been marred by banal shortages and resultant gouging, and arsenic the astir mainstream-friendly of the pack, the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti look particularly susceptible to instant sellouts. It's besides excessively aboriginal to justice the interaction of US tariffs: these were mostly paused/rolled back/wussed retired of past week, though a basal 10% taxation remains, and Nvidia’s Taiwan-made GPUs aren’t counted among exemptions. Guess those $1m Mar-a-Lago dinners lone spell truthful far.
