Overview

  • Nvidia has officially announced the RTX 5060 series, including the base RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti models, with prices starting at $299.
  • The RTX 5060 Ti, available in 8GB and 16GB variants, launches April 16, while the base RTX 5060 with 8GB VRAM will follow in May.
  • Internal benchmarks show the RTX 5060 Ti delivering up to 130fps in select games, a notable improvement over the RTX 4060 Ti, aided by DLSS 4 and enhanced frame generation technology.
  • The launch aims to compete with AMD's offerings and drive down prices of older Nvidia and AMD GPUs, though AMD's next-gen mid-range cards remain on the horizon.
  • Concerns persist about potential price increases due to custom partner pricing and fluctuating US tariffs, which could undermine the advertised affordability of the series.
