ASUS and PNY list their custom editions for the GeForce RTX 5060 ahead of launch on Best Buy. ASUS listed three, while PNY listed one edition.
ASUS PRIME and TUF Series RTX 5060 Appear on Best Buy with a Price Tag of up to a Whopping $409; PNY Lists its Dual-Fan Edition for $299
Almost a week is left for NVIDIA to launch its RTX 5060 GPU at Computex, and many of its board partners are ready to unveil their custom designs at the event. But before that, the vendors are preparing themselves for the retail launch, which is going to happen on the 19th May.
Two of NVIDIA's board partners, namely ASUS and PNY, have listed some of their GPUs on Best Buy, a major NA retailer, ahead of launch. If you remember, NVIDIA unveiled its GeForce RTX 5060 last month, priced at $299, but it looks like the GPU is going to be quite expensive for ASUS. It might still be too early to say whether these are placeholders or not, but it appears that you may not necessarily find an RTX 5060 at the MSRP.
It shouldn't be very surprising, considering the current state of GPUs in the market, but ASUS is asking up to $409.99 for its TUF Gaming OC edition, which is a $100+ price hike over the MSRP of the Founders Edition model. The basic Prime edition RTX 5060 isn't that cheap either and is listed at $339 while offering the same frequencies as the FE, considering it's not an OC model. In case you are more interested in higher clocks out of the box, then the PRIME RTX 5060 OC is going to cost you a staggering $379.99, which is $80 higher than the MSRP.
The exact clocks aren't mentioned on the specs page, but $80 for like 50-100 MHz doesn't seem too lucrative. As for their sizes, the TUF Gaming OC is supposedly a 3.25-slot card, while both the PRIME and PRIME OC models will be slightly thinner, at 2.5-slot thickness. All three measure over 300 mm in length, which is quite longer than the FE, but it might be incorrect since the TDP mentioned in the specs tab is 250W, even though the RTX 5060 is rated at 145W. Surely, the OC models can be rated higher, but it's unlikely that they will exceed even 200W, let alone reach 250W.
Thankfully, PNY's RTX 5060 Dual-Fan edition has still been listed at $299.99 since last week, but we aren't sure if this price tag will remain unchanged at the time of retail launch. We saw the announced MSRP price tags for some of the previous RTX 50 cards pre-launch, but they changed quickly once the embargo was lifted.
