NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Specs Revealed: GB206, 3840 CUDA Cores, 8GB GDDR7, and 150W TDP

The anticipation surrounding NVIDIA’s upcoming entry-level graphics cards is mounting, especially following leaks about the RTX 5050 and RTX 5060 Ti. Now, the spotlight is on the non-Ti variant: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, with its specifications having been disclosed by the well-known leaker @kopite7kimi.

Key Specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060

The GeForce RTX 5060 is set to feature the GB206 GPU die along with an 8GB GDDR7 VRAM utilizing a 128-bit bus. This model will also have a default thermal design power (TDP) of 150W.

Insights suggest that the RTX 5060 is slated for a release soon, with shipments expected to commence next month. Although specifics remain unofficial, we can gather a clearer picture of what this graphics card will offer. While the RTX 5060 maintains a similar framework to its predecessor—including VRAM size and memory bus—there are a few noteworthy enhancements.

This GPU will utilize the PG152-SKU25 board architecture, accompanied by the GB206-250-A1 die. Notably, it is expected to boast 3840 CUDA Cores, representing a 25% increase over the 3072 cores in the RTX 4060. While this enhances performance, it’s worth mentioning that the VRAM capacity remains at 8GB. However, the upgrade to GDDR7 at 28 Gbps across a 128-bit bus allows for an impressive memory bandwidth of approximately 448 GB/s, marking a 65% improvement over the RTX 4060’s 272 GB/s.

These specifications should yield a tangible performance boost over the previous generation. Still, it’s essential to note that the 8GB VRAM may be limited for the most demanding contemporary titles. Additionally, the RTX 5060 is projected to have a higher power consumption, increasing its TDP by 35W compared to the RTX 4060. Here is a comparison of the key differences:

• 25% increase in CUDA Cores
• Consistent memory capacity (8GB)
• Enhanced memory speed with GDDR7 (28 Gbps)
• Significantly more bandwidth (+64%)
• Increased power rating of 30% higher

The RTX 5060’s TDP of 150W positions it as 20W above the RTX 5050 and 30W lower than its Ti counterpart. As for pricing and availability, these remain unconfirmed. The preceding RTX 4060 debuted at a price point of $299, making it reasonable to expect a similar range for the RTX 5060. A price exceeding $300 would raise concerns considering the declining relevance of 8GB graphics cards in today’s gaming landscape.

Furthermore, it’s noteworthy that the RTX 5050 shares the same memory specifications, while certain variants of the RTX 5060 Ti will also feature 8GB of VRAM. This trend aligns with recent AMD offerings, such as the RX 9060 XT, which provides both 8GB and 16GB memory configurations.
