As these are a part of the Geforce RTX 50 series and based on Blackwell architecture, the biggest selling point and the biggest marketing push for Nvidia will be the DLSS 4. The Geforce RTX 5060 Ti is based on new 5nm GB20 6 GPU, which is maxed out with 36 streaming multiprocessors (SMs), leaving it with 4,608 CUDA cores, 36 RT cores, 144 Tensor cores, and coming with either 8GB or 16GB of 28Gbps GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit memory interface, or 448GB/s of maximum memory bandwidth.
According to Nvidia, the RTX 5060 Ti will get you maxed out 1440p gameplay, offering over 2x the performance of the 4060 Ti, and giving you well over 100 fps in most popular games, including Hogwarts Legacy, Stalker 2, Black Myth: Wukong, Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Outlaws, Avowed, and others. Of course, bear in mind that you'll get these performance numbers only with DLSS, in this case, DLSS Quality Mode.
The Geforce RTX 5060 is an interesting graphics card, and at $299, it hits the sweet spot and could be quite a seller for Nvidia, promising to double the performance of the previous generation and bring DLSS 4 to the masses. Nvidia is promising maxed out 1080p with well over 100 fps, again with DLSS 4 enabled.
The RTX 5060 is expected to be based on the GB206-250 GPU variant with 3840 CUDA cores, and 8GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit memory interface.
Nvidia has DLSS 4 as its main marketing and selling point, and with 100+ games and apps supporting it, and more coming each day, it gives it an edge over AMD. Of course, unless you have troubles with stock and price, something that has been plaguing Nvidia recently, and allowing AMD's RX 9070 XT to outsell the RTX 5080 by ten to one in Europe. Nvidia says there will be plenty of both stock and factory-overclocked versions from its usual AIC partners, ASUS, Colorful, Gainward, GALAX, GIGABYTE, INNO3D, KFA2, MSI, Palit, PNY, and ZOTAC.
Nvidia has somewhat cut the prices compared to its previous generation, offering the RTX 5060 Ti at $429, a good $70 less than the previous generation. The 8GB version, priced at $379, is $30 cheaper. The RTX 5060 8GB, at $299, is launching at the same price at the RTX 4060. Of course, it all depends on whether we'll see any cards at MSRP in retail/e-tail.
Reviews for the Geforce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB should be up later today, and we'll update the article accordingly. It appears that Nvidia does not want to see reviews of the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, so those might be rare.
