US shoppers might want to wait (or weep), but at least UK shoppers can rejoice a little.
Today’s the day that Nvidia officially launches its GeForce RTX 5060 Ti series of graphics cards, with two variants on offer: 8 GB and 16 GB. Many retailers are already showing a variety of different models to choose from, but you’ll need to wait until 6am PT/9am EST/2pm BST to get your hands on one.
With 4,608 shaders (along with 144 TMUs and 48 ROPs), the RTX 5060 Ti is only a fractionally larger GPU than its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti. Even the boost clock is just a few MHz higher, but in its favour, the RTX 5060 Ti sports GDDR7 running at 28 Gbps—that gives it a total VRAM bandwidth of 448 GB/s, significantly more than the 4060 Ti’s 288 GB/s.
As with all RTX 50-series graphics cards, you’re getting the full DLSS 4 suite of upscaling, frame generation, and other AI goodies.
When Nvidia announced the prices for the RTX 5060 Ti, we were all pleasantly surprised by the fact that Team Green hadn’t bumped them right up. There’s no Founders Edition from Nvidia for the RTX 5060 Ti but there’s a decent range of base models from every AIB partner to choose from.
However, we have no idea what stocks are going to be like, nor what the eventual non-MSRP models will sell for. Given the current uncertainties about US tariffs on computer components, it’s probably going to be quite messy.
