Nvidia will launch the GeForce RTX 5060 on Could 19 beginning at $299, the corporate introduced through press launch as we speak. The brand new card, a successor to widespread previous GPUs just like the GTX 1060 and RTX 3060, will convey Nvidia’s DLSS 4 and Multi Body-Technology expertise to budget-to-mainstream gaming builds—at the very least, it would if each single GPU launched by any firm at any worth wasn’t immediately promoting out as of late.
Nvidia introduced a Could launch for the 5060 final month when it launched the RTX 5060 Ti for $379 (8GB) and $429 (16GB). Costs for that card thus far have not been as inflated as they’ve been for the RTX 5070 on up, however the least expensive ones you’ll be able to at the moment get are nonetheless between $50 and $100 over that MSRP. Until Nvidia and its companions have made dramatically extra RTX 5060 playing cards than they’ve fabricated from every other mannequin thus far, count on this card to hold an analogous pricing premium for some time.

| Increase Clock | 2,572 MHz | 2,535 MHz | 2,497 MHz | 2,460 MHz | Unknown | 1,777 MHz |

| Reminiscence bandwidth | 448GB/s | 288GB/s | 448GB/s | 272GB/s | Unknown | 224GB/s |
| Reminiscence dimension | 8GB or 16GB GDDR7 | 8GB or 16GB GDDR6 | 8GB GDDR7 | 8GB GDDR6 | 8GB GDDR6 | 8GB GDDR6 |
| TGP | 180 W | 160 W | 145 W | 115 W | 130 W | 130 W |
In comparison with the RTX 4060, the RTX 5060 provides a couple of hundred additional CUDA cores and will get a giant reminiscence bandwidth enhance due to the transfer from GDDR6 to GDDR7. However its utility at increased resolutions will proceed to be restricted by its 8GB of RAM, which is already turning into an issue for a handful of high-end video games at 1440p and 4K.
No matter its efficiency, the RTX 5060 will doubtless turn out to be a well-liked mainstream graphics card, similar to its predecessors. Of the Steam {Hardware} Survey’s prime 10 GPUs, three are RTX xx60-series desktop GPUs (the 3060, 4060, and 2060); the laptop computer variations of the 4060 and 3060 are two of the others. If provide of the RTX 5060 is ample and pricing is not uncontrolled, we would count on it to shoot up these charts fairly rapidly over the following few months.
