After much speculation, NVIDIA finally took the wraps off the more affordable GeForce RTX 5060 series. The new GPUs will join the RTX 5070, 5080, and 5090 series. It stands as a more affordable choice with a performance that fits into the value-for-money category. They bring the latest technologies from NVIDIA like DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame-Gen. However, there is a catch. It could make them not advisable for gamers who tend to keep their GPUs for a long time. The most affordable variant costs $299 but has only 8 GB of VRAM which is not advisable in 2025.
NVIDIA RTX 5060 and 5060 TI – New Technology, Old Problems
The RTX 5060 Ti comes to deliver excellent performance in 1440p gaming with the Blackwell architecture. They also support DLSS 4 resolution scaling technology and have prices starting at $379 for the 8 GB model and $429 for 16 GB. The RTX 5060 with 8 GB of RAM will sell for about $299.
While the $200 could sound attractive at first glance, 8 GB of RAM is starting to become obsolete in 2025 gaming standards. Don’t get me wrong, you will still be able to play games nicely with 8 GB Graphics Cards. In particular, when it sports advanced technologies like DLSS and Frame Gen. However, we are starting to hit its limits with the latest games.
At least 12 GB RAM is advisable, but it’s sad to see that NVIDIA didn’t opt for making a base model with such an amount. Curiously, this was already a problem that made some users upset with the 4060 series. After all, NVIDIA dropped the 12GB RAM option seen in the 3060 series.
The RTX 5060 is capable of delivering more than 100 FPS in popular games, with the DLSS 4 MFG (Multi-Frame-Gen) technology doubling the frame rate when compared to the past generation. According to NVIDIA, the RTX 5060 Ti offers up to 50 more graphics performance when compared to the old GPUs, like the GTX 1060 and GTX 1660. This is thanks to the new models implemented with the DLSS 4 technology. It promises better image quality, with improved performance and lower latency.
The RTX 5060 Ti is a more robust option. Perhaps, the real deal for those looking at NVIDIA’s 50 series entry-level. It delivers 4608 CUDA cores with 24 TFLOPs of performance for shadows. Furthermore, it has 759 AI TOPs and 72 TFLOPs for Ray-Tracing performance. It comes with GDDR7 technology. It offers 448 GB/s bandwidth and an increase of 55,5% in comparison to the RTX 4060 Ti.
The RTX 5060 Ti also supports PCIe Gen5 x8 tech and offers compatibility with 4K (480 Hz) or 8K (165 Hz) displays. This new lineup promises a significant update for players, especially those who are still using Pascal, Turing, and Ampere generations.
