The latest announcement from the green team is for Blackwell-based GeForce RTX 5060 GPUs that mere mortals can afford.
Blackwell-based GeForce GPUs have finally arrived for us mere mortals. Indeed, NVIDIA is officially announcing the GeForce RTX 5060 and its titanium (Ti) sibling today, with availability for some partner graphics cards starting as soon as tomorrow. The GeForce RTX 5060 comes with 8GB of VRAM, while the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will come with either 8 or 16GB of memory.NVIDIA’s Blackwell Powers The GeForce RTX 5060 Series, Starting At $299
These new GPUs are based on the very same Blackwell architecture as the previous GeForce RTX 50 series releases. That means you get the improvements to AI performance as well as the novel AI Management Processor, you get DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation, and the improved RT cores with RTX Mega Geometry support.
You also get GDDR7 memory, which, as we discussed last week, could be a big ace in the hole for these GPUs against AMD’s forthcoming competition. While NVIDIA doesn’t actually specify this in the documentation that it provided to us pre-launch, these cards are thought to use 128-bit memory buses. The extremely high transfer rate of GDDR7 memory means that, despite the narrow bus width, a card like the GeForce RTX 5060 could still push as much as 448 GB/second of memory bandwidth—nearly as much as a TITAN X, which employed a 384-bit memory bus back in its day.Multi-Frame Generation doesn’t increase latency over regular Frame Generation.
