GeForce RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti Expected Launch Window Revealed

Now that the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 have been officially released (at least in theory), it’s time to examine the rest of the Blackwell series. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 are expected to launch this month (February). This leaves us anticipating the GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, which a leak from a Chinese AIB suggests could arrive next month.

Release Information

Leaker @wxnod found a listing on a Chinese online shopping platform indicating that the GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti are set to launch in March 2025. This aligns with a report from 2024 that indicated the same timeline. Unlike their more powerful counterparts, these models might not have a special event for their announcement and could be quietly introduced through a press release. Regardless, the timing is perfect, as it coincides with AMD’s plans to unveil part of its RDNA 4 series.

Specifications and Features

While we don’t know the precise specifications for the GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti yet, it’s likely that the latter will utilize a reduced GB205 die (possibly GB206) similar to what’s found in the RTX 5070. A prior leak mentioned that Nvidia would make it available in 8 and 16 GB models, suggesting a 128-bit memory bus. As for the RTX 5060, it might be equipped with a GB207/GB207 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM on the same bus.

Performance Expectations

If the performance of the GeForce RTX 5080 is a good indicator, the rest of the Blackwell series will likely show only modest performance improvements compared to the Ada Lovelace generation. However, the RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB of RAM might perform better over time due to its added VRAM, which has previously allowed the RTX 3060 to surpass the RTX 4060 in scenarios where VRAM is a key factor.
