NVIDIA has unveiled its latest gaming graphics card, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, which is now available in both 16 GB and 8 GB configurations. This announcement marks a significant shift in accessibility for gamers looking for high-performance options without breaking the bank.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti: Affordable 1440p Gaming Redefined
Breaking away from its previous pricing strategy, where the RTX 50 series GPUs were priced above $500, the new RTX 5060 series aims to cater to the mainstream gaming community. It offers cutting-edge features like Neural Rendering and DLSS 4, promising gamers over 100+ FPS in popular titles targeted at 1440p resolutions. The new DLSS 4 technology introduces Multi-Frame-Gen (MFG) capabilities, delivering up to 2x performance improvements compared to the previous generation.
For many gamers who are still utilizing older generation cards from the Pascal (10 series), Turing (20 series), and Ampere (30 series) architectures, the RTX 5060 series represents a significant advancement. With the introduction of DLSS 4, users can experience up to a remarkable 50x graphics performance boost compared to the aging GTX 1060 and GTX 1660 models.
In addition, the latest iteration of DLSS, featuring its Transformer model, offers superior image quality that can surpass native rendering, along with improved performance and reduced latency. The RTX 5060 Ti is capable of achieving frame rates that double those of the RTX 4060 Ti while maintaining comparable or lower latency; this has been confirmed through testing in high-demand AAA games such as Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, and Black Myth: Wukong.
NVIDIA has indicated that the average raster performance of the RTX 5060 Ti will show an approximate 20% improvement over the 4060 Ti. Here are key specifications of the RTX 5060 Ti:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Specifications
The RTX 5060 Ti features the innovative GB206 GPU, housing 21.9 billion transistors on an 181 mm² chip. The architecture encompasses:
- CUDA Cores: 4608, distributed across 36 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs).
- Render Output Units (ROPs): 48
- Texture Mapping Units (TMUs): 144
- Shading Performance: 24 TFLOPs
- AI TOPS: 759
- Ray Tracing Performance: 72 TFLOPs

The memory configuration includes a 128-bit bus interface with the latest GDDR7 memory standard and pin speeds of 28 Gbps. Both models—16 GB and 8 GB—achieve a bandwidth of 448 GB/s, representing a 55.5% increase compared to the RTX 4060 Ti. The card supports the PCIe Gen5 x8 interface and is compatible with displays up to 4K (480Hz) or 8K (165Hz).
- 5.8% increase in CUDA Cores compared to previous models
- Up to 20% higher raster performance relative to RTX 4060 Ti
- Same memory capacities (16 GB / 8 GB)
- Advanced GDDR7 memory with 28 Gbps speed
- Bandwidth increase (55%) over the 4060 Ti
- 12.5% higher power rating
- More cost-effective: 8 GB model priced $20 lower, and 16 GB model $70 lower than the 4060 Ti
The RTX 5060 series will feature multiple partner card designs, as NVIDIA has opted not to produce a Founders Edition for this model. The starting prices are $429 for the 16 GB version and $379 for the 8 GB variant. In contrast, the pricing of the RTX 4060 Ti models was $399 for the 8 GB and $499 for the 16 GB, presenting significant savings of $20 and $70, respectively, for the new RTX 5060 models.
