NVIDIA's "mid-range" GeForce RTX 5060 has surfaced in an ACER pre-built system for the first time, revealing the SKU's existence and specific details.
NVIDIA's Mid-Range GeForce RTX 5060 Now Confirmed To Use GDDR7 Memory; ACER Confirms the GPU Model
Well, Team Green has plans to expand the RTX Blackwell GPU lineup even further, now introducing relatively mid-end models, in the 60-class series. It seems like manufacturers have already started to prepare for the release, as a new listing of a pre-built system from ACER at EvoPC has mentioned NVIDIA's unreleased GeForce RTX 5060, which is the first time we have seen the model surface on the retail channel. This not only validates the presence of the model, but the listing has also mentioned the specifications of the GPU as well.
Interestingly, the listing confirms that the GeForce RTX 5060 will feature 8 GB GDDR7 memory, which is consistent with what we saw from the previous leaks. It is also mentioned that the GPU will feature a PCIe x16 interface, although this might not be true at all, given that the GeForce RTX 5060 is rumored to be confined to just eight lanes. The pre-built listing has a price tag of €1,589/$1,734 and, just a rough estimate, the GeForce RTX 5060 in this configuration could be valued around €250- €350.
Diving into the spec rundown of the GeForce RTX 5060 based on previous leaks, it is said to use the GB206 GPU die, featuring 3,840 CUDA Cores, which is 25% higher than the 3072 CUDA Cores found on the RTX 4060. While the VRAM count is expected to remain the same at 8 GB, the newer model will utilize GDDR7 technology running at 28 Gbps through a 128-bit memory bus. The memory bandwidth will be around 448 GB/s, a nearly 65% increase over the 272 GB/s bandwidth of the RTX 4060.
It will be interesting to see how the launch of NVIDIA's 60-class GPUs turns out, given that the existing RTX 50 GPUs haven't done too well in terms of dominating the market, and with AMD's RX 9070 series in the market, the mainstream GPU segment is more tilted towards Team Red.
