Nvidia RTX 5060 lands Could 19 for $299
It’s been about three weeks since Nvidia introduced the RTX 5060 Ti, which additionally got here together with the cheaper RTX 5060, naturally. We didn’t have an official launch date for the 5060, simply “Could.” Now we all know it’ll be right here on Could 19 — that’s the Monday after subsequent. The value within the U.S. is mercifully unchanged from the $299 announcement MSRP.
The RTX 5060 Ti is a strong 1080p gaming card, at the least in its 16GB improve model. The 8GB variant of the cardboard has been met far much less warmly, which could assist clarify why Nvidia didn’t ship out evaluation models earlier than the launch. Meaning the 5060, sans Ti and saddled with the identical 8GB reminiscence, is perhaps lower than spectacular, particularly for the worth.
For the sake of comparability, the 8GB model of the RTX 5060 Ti that’s on retailer cabinets proper now for $380 typically underperforms Intel’s Arc B580 card…which has a retail worth of $250. Yeah, it seems to be like Nvidia isn’t precisely making a play for the finances area with these entries, maybe leaning on OEM gaming desktops or these whose model loyalty outweighs their want for efficiency.
Earlier at present we noticed the newest leaks for AMD’s latest desktop card, the Radeon RX 9060 XT. It’s coming with a 16GB model, presumably competing with the RTX 5060 Ti on the identical degree, although pricing has but to be revealed. A 9060 model, which might compete instantly with the RTX 5060, shouldn’t be but verified.
