Summary

  • Nvidia has announced the release of its RTX 5060, starting at $299, with the card becoming available on 19 May,
  • offering budget-to-mainstream gamers access to its DLSS 4 and Multi Frame-Generation technology, although with GPU shortages expected to continue, it is likely the card will be subject to pricing premiums.
  • The specs show the RTX 5060 offers several enhancements on the RTX 4060, with the key upgrades being the CUDA cores and memory bandwidth, both boosted thanks to the move from GDDR6 to GDDR7.
  • However, the 8GB of RAM will limit its usability for higher resolutions, and as we have seen with other GPUs in this generation, the price on release is not necessarily a true reflection of the street pricing.
  • Nvidia also announced the RTX 5060 Ti in March, with the 8GB model costing 429.
