NVIDIA has officially introduced its next RTX 50 Gaming GPU, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, which comes in 16 GB and 8 GB flavors.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Targets Entry-Level 1440p Gaming With Up To 16 GB VRAM, Blackwell GPU Architecture & Sub-$450 US Price
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards have so far been available for over $500 US and that changes today with the RTX 5060 series, which promises to bring Neural Rendering prowess, & the DLSS 4 capabilities to mainstream audiences. These graphics cards are designed to offer over 100+ FPS in the most popular games at their targeted resolutions with DLSS 4 MFG (Multi-Frame-Gen) delivering a 2x gain in frame rate over the previous generation.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 series graphics cards are going to be a huge upgrade for the vast majority of gamers out there, since 50+ million gamers are still running older x60 and x50-class graphics cards based on the older Pascal (10 Series), Turing (20 Series) and Ampere (30 Series) architectures. With DLSS 4, gamers running an RTX 5060 or 5060 Ti can reach up to 50x graphics performance versus a GTX 1060 or GTX 1660 GPU.
Furthermore, with the improvements made with DLSS 4's Transformer model, gamers can expect better image quality than native, along with higher performance and lower latency. The 5060 Ti sits at 2x the frame rate at similar or lower latency versus the 4060 Ti, which uses DLSS 3.x models. This has been verified across multiple AAA games, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, and Black Myth: Wukong.
Following are some performance figures, but NVIDIA did state that the average GPU improvement on the raster will be around 20% over the 4060 Ti.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU Specifications
Alright, so let's talk about specifications. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will feature the GB206 die with a total of 21.9 billion transistors packaged within an 181 mm2 chip. The GPU features a total of 4608 CUDA cores across 36 SMs, which is the full configuration of this chip. There are also 48 ROPs and 144 TMUs. The chip offers 24 TFLOPs of shading performance, 759 AI TOPS, and 72 TFLOPs of RT performance. The clock speeds are rated at 2.4 GHz base and 2.57 GHz boost. The 5060 Ti's TDP is rated at 180W.
As for the memory, the graphics card is configured with a 128-bit bus interface which utilizes the latest GDDR7 memory standard with pin speeds of 28 Gbps. Both 16 GB and 8 GB models of the card offer 448 GB/s of bandwidth, marking a 55.5% uplift over the RTX 4060 Ti. The card utilizes the PCIe Gen5 x8 protocol and comes with 4K (480Hz) or 8K (165Hz) display support.
- 5.8% More CUDA Cores
- Up To 20% Higher Raster Perf vs RTX 4060 Ti
- Same Memory Capacity (16 GB / 8 GB)
- Faster GDDR7 Memory (28 Gbps)
- More Bandwidth (+55%)
- 12.5% Higher power rating
- 8 GB Model $20 US Lower & 16 GB Model $70 US Lower Than 4060 Ti 8GB/16 GB MSRPs
You will see a lot of models of the cards in AIC flavors since the card isn't receiving Founders Edition treatment. The 16 GB models will start at $429 US, while the 8 GB models will start at $379 US. For comparison, the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB models shipped at $399 US, while the 16 GB models shipped for $499 US. That's a $20 US lower price on the 8 GB and a $70 US lower price than the 16 GB models of its predecessor.
