From ExtremeTech: Nvidia has officially announced the long-suspected, often-leaked, and rumor-fed RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 graphics cards. Their recommended retail prices are $429 and $379 for the 5060 Ti (16GB and 8GB, respectively) and $299 for the RTX 5060, which will only come with an 8GB version. The RTX 5060 Ti launches today, April 16, while the RTX 5060 will launch sometime in May.
For the past few months, gamers tantalized by the performance and train-wreck release of the higher-end RTX 50-series cards have been waiting on more affordable, and more available new GPUs. The RTX 5060 Ti will be the first of Nvidia's more attainable graphics cards out the gate, and though its specifications are a modest increase over the 4060 Ti, its recommended price is actually lower for both versions.
The reference RTX 5060 Ti will have 4,608 CUDA cores versus the 4,352 in its predecessor. It will maintain a high boost clock of 2,572MHz and use the new 28 Gbps GDDR7 memory—though the memory bus will remain a constrictive 128-bit. This still lets it offer a more than 50% increase in memory bandwidth, but that comes at the cost of a slightly higher TDP: 180W versus 165W in the 4060 Ti. Where the last-generation's 16GB and 8GB cards were priced at $499 and $399 at launch, though, the 5060 Ti models have recommended prices of $429 and $379, respectively.
