Nvidia has made it official with the introduction of the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060, which now join their previously launched Blackwell GPUs: the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070. These new entry-level cards come with two VRAM options, either 8GB or 16GB, and Nvidia aims to cater to 1440p gaming enthusiasts with these models. Much of the card’s specs were known ahead of the announcement due to multiple leaks and rumors, but now it’s confirmed with a launch date set for April 16.
Specifications and Performance
The RTX 5060 Ti boasts 4608 CUDA cores, 72 TFLOPS of Ray tracing cores, a boost clock speed of 2.57 GHz, and a base clock of 2.41 GHz. It’s interesting to note that it has higher clock speeds compared to the RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, and even the RTX 5090. However, it operates on a slower 128-bit memory interface, but other than that, it shows improvements over the previous generation RTX 4060 Ti in all key areas.
VRAM Versions and Technologies
Available in both 8GB and 16GB GDDR7 VRAM versions, the performance gap between these two variants should be clearer once reviews are published later today, April 15. Naturally, it will support Nvidia’s latest technologies like DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, Neural Rendering, and other Blackwell features that are claimed to provide a smooth, low-latency gaming experience at 1440p.
Pricing and Availability
In addition to the RTX 5060 Ti, Nvidia also unveiled the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 laptops, although exact release dates for these have not been confirmed yet. The RTX 5060 also comes with 8GB GDDR7 VRAM and is said to deliver double the performance of the RTX 4060, aided by DLSS4 Multi Frame Generation.
The pricing for the 8GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti is set at $379, while the 16GB version is going for $429. Both variants will be available starting tomorrow, April 16, from a variety of board partners including ASUS, GALAX, GIGABYTE, INNO3D, Colorful, Gainward, MSI, Palit, KFA2, PNY, and ZOTAC. They are priced $20 less for the 8GB model and $70 less for the 16GB model compared to the RTX 4060 Ti.
The RTX 5060 starts at a price of $299, making it the only GPU that maintains the same cost as its predecessor. The laptops featuring the RTX 5060 are expected to start at $1,099. Both the desktop GPU and the laptops powered by this GPU are anticipated to be available sometime in May.
