NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB GPU Specifications & Benchmarks Revealed: Offers Up to 14% Improved Performance Over 4060 Ti

Recent leaks from the Geekbench database have unveiled what appears to be the performance metrics and specifications for NVIDIA’s anticipated GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU, sparking significant interest among gamers and enthusiasts alike.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti: Modest Performance Improvements Over Previous Generation

Many in the gaming community have found the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell”series underwhelming due to its limited performance gains compared to the RTX 40 lineup. Although NVIDIA has priced most of its new offerings—aside from the RTX 5090—quite competitively, many users have experienced issues related to inventory shortages, which have resulted in inflated prices. Currently, these GPUs are rarely available at their manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRPs), and driver support for the Blackwell series is still lacking.

With the impending launch of the RTX 5060 series, NVIDIA is set to introduce the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, available in both 16 GB and 8 GB configurations. Early leaks have provided insight into the graphics card’s synthetic performance using Vulkan and OpenCL benchmarks.

Specifications of the RTX 5060 Ti

The benchmark leaks also highlight critical specifications for the RTX 5060 Ti. Key details include a core count of 4, 608, confirming the use of the full GB206 die design. Additionally, the GPU operates at a maximum clock speed of 2647 MHz and is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 128-bit bus, delivering high speeds of 28 Gbps.

Performance Benchmarks

In terms of performance, the RTX 5060 Ti achieved scores of 140, 147 in Vulkan and 146, 234 in OpenCL tests. While these results indicate a 14% and 13% performance increase over the RTX 4060 Ti, respectively, they are seen as decent but not transformational. The RTX 5060 Ti will feature various modern capabilities, including DLSS 4, Multi-Frame Generation, and Reflex 2 technology.

Upcoming Launch and Pricing

Anticipated to launch on April 16, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPUs will likely retail around the $400 mark, catering to a wide range of gaming needs. More detailed information is expected to surface in the upcoming days, particularly regarding availability and final specifications.
