Lenovo spills the beans on RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti playing cards ‘coming quickly’
By this level, you’re most likely not stunned that Nvidia is engaged on cheaper RTX 50-series GPUs. Even for those who haven’t seen the assorted leaks, the truth that the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti exist (together with equivalents from earlier generations) units up a reasonably apparent precedent. Even so, we’re grateful to Lenovo for dropping all pretense and displaying off the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti graphics playing cards in a brand-new desktop.
The Legion Tower 5i Gen 10 is an upcoming desktop PC in Lenovo’s Legion gaming sub-brand, pre-assembled with “as much as Intel Core Extremely i9” processors. It’s a reasonably easy design with a small-ish, clear case and an air CPU cooler within the promo images, although liquid cooling can be talked about. The remainder of the specs are typical, with what seems to be an X870 micro-ATX motherboard, 32GB of DDR5 RAM (as much as a most of 128GB), and as much as 2TB of PCIe Gen4 storage within the pre-configured model. (The {hardware} itself helps Gen5 speeds and as much as three M.2 drives directly, although.)
It’s good, however nothing spectacular. It appears like a mid-range desktop construct for many who don’t need to sully their arms with a screwdriver. What caught the attention of VideoCardz.com, nonetheless, is that the graphics card choices embrace the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti, the RTX 5060 Ti, and the RTX 5060. The final two on that record don’t formally exist but, though they’ve been popping up in regulatory listings for the previous few weeks. It’s additionally bizarre that Lenovo would provide the 5070 Ti with out the 5070 as another choice, however no matter. Provider stuff can get bizarre.
Lenovo isn’t forthcoming on the specs for these playing cards, indicating that maybe the advertising copy was written up with the intention of being printed after a yet-to-surface Nvidia announcement. We had heard that the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti had been headed to add-in-board and OEM companions final month. There’s no value or launch date for the Legion Tower 5i Gen 10, solely that it’s “coming quickly.”
With the RTX 5070 utilizing 12GB of video reminiscence, it appears unlikely that the RTX 5060 Ti would use any greater than that, and I’d be shocked to see the RTX 5060 at something however 8GB. The retail costs of each would clearly come under the RTX 5070’s $550, however who is aware of by how a lot… particularly with the Trump regime’s tariffs inflicting value chaos within the US and past, to not point out the same old AIB pump-ups. It’s attainable these cheaper playing cards will solely be “reasonably priced” in a purely relative sense.
