It’s been about three weeks since Nvidia announced the RTX 5060 Ti, which also came along with the cheaper RTX 5060, naturally. We didn’t have an official launch date for the 5060, just “May.” Now we know it’ll be here on May 19 — that’s the Monday after next. The price in the U.S. is mercifully unchanged from the $299 announcement MSRP.
The RTX 5060 Ti is a solid 1080p gaming card, at least in its 16GB upgrade version. The 8GB variant of the card has been met far less warmly, which might help explain why Nvidia didn’t send out review units before the launch. That means the 5060, sans Ti and saddled with the same 8GB memory, might be less than impressive, especially for the price.
For the sake of comparison, the 8GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti that’s on store shelves right now for $380 sometimes underperforms Intel’s Arc B580 card…which has a retail price of $250. Yeah, it looks like Nvidia isn’t exactly making a play for the budget space with these entries, perhaps leaning on OEM gaming desktops or those whose brand loyalty outweighs their desire for performance.
Earlier today we saw the latest leaks for AMD’s newest desktop card, the Radeon RX 9060 XT. It’s coming with a 16GB version, presumably competing with the RTX 5060 Ti at the same level, though pricing has yet to be revealed. A 9060 version, which would compete directly with the RTX 5060, is not yet verified.
