NVIDIA’s most popular gaming graphics card segment is reportedly making its RTX 50 series debut and will launch tomorrow. After months of rumors and leaks the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is said to finally launch on April 16. This marks the first models of NVIDIA’s x60 series to debut and this time around rather than stagger different models across multiple releases it’s said that both RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB and 16 GB variants will launch side-by-side. NVIDIA’s x60 series are typically the most popular graphics cards among PC gamers seeking the most performance vs. lost cost angle. They often reside at the top of most-used GPU charts for many years after release, sometimes the better part of a decade. The GeForce RTX 5060 is said to follow sometime next month.
According to VideoCardz, who has tracked many recent leaks from nearly all of NVIDIA’s partners that either can’t keep a secret or are simply in too much of a rush to outdo each other, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 model will be priced at $70 less than its predecessor at $429. The 8 GB version will be priced at $30 less than its predecessor at $379. Both cards are expected to compete with AMD’s RX 9060 XT which is rumored to also be offered in similar VRAM sizes. Leaks for AMD’s next RDNA 4-based cards have been picking up in pace recently and official news could be imminent.
Lastly is the NVIDIA RTX 5060 which will reportedly only launch in an 8 GB model but maintain its x60 price of $299. Due to the architectural and feature differences of Blackwell it’s too early to tell if the lower memory configuration for the RTX 5060 will be detrimental to its intended gaming resolution targets. It is, as of yet, unknown if NVIDIA intends to release Founders Editions for any of these three GPUs, and is becoming more unlikely for the RTX 5060 Ti due to the many AIB models already leaked with nary a peep of one from the GPU manufacturer but that doesn’t mean it might still surprise us with one. Reviews for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti are expected to go live today.

New rounds of reviews and melting cards incoming!!!!
I'm aflutter with anticipation.
My prediction: this card will hit some lower price point so that nVidia can have a product there, but it won’t be worth the money. It will have too many compromises to make the more expensive cards continue to look good.
But people will buy it anyway because it has a green label. And AMD will price their competing product at a price point that is $5 lower. It will be faster at everything except ray tracing and DLSS. But all anyone will talk about are the DLSS benchmarks.
Reports of 8gb cards being not sampled is the most hilarious thing so far of this card(s) release. That and the vague release date of the 5060 8gb. The card will apparently just show up on shelves and no review cards sent out.
5060 8gb "Put this in your workstations, then when people game on in the experience will suck so bad they will only use them for work."
Should be able to run most esports/indie games somewhat reasonable, other then that you may want to look elsewhere.
Seen some youtube channel where they try to make cheap as possible PC's and even a 970 with 3.5GB Vram still ran fortnite ok ish
970s were awesome back in the day. I had a pair in SLI. Good times. Ironically compared to those, I've still got an MSI Titan laptop that has 2x mobile 980s in SLI (same die as 970) but with 8 GB per. That laptop was incredible for 1080p gaming with titles that supported SLI and the combined processing power was able to make use of that extra memory then.
Let's be realistic. These are aimed at 1080P game play. Doubtful you'd even max out 8 GB at 1080P on most titles. 16 GB is overkill.

With their 40x performance claim who tf knows where Nvidia expects these to game at. A video card the price of a console that CAN game at 4k... should be able to game at 4k. AND WELL. if that's your targeted comparison.
With the way the 4060 series were selling recently since there was nothing else in stock I'm sure these will sell well. The 16GB version would be what I would target and I would think that card would even be a good 1440P option. I have a 3060 12GB card here and it does well at 1440P at decent settings in games.

Console aren't exactly the benchmark when it comes image quality. Sure, they can do 4k @ 60, but it's low quality.

No doubt they can play at 1440P, just not with everything cranked up. Which is why I'm saying they'll be great 1080P cards to max settings.
Here's a link to the official press release from yesterday. Some benchmarks are included: RTX 5060 Ti CP 2077 @ 1440p, 56 FPS w/o DLSS stuff, up to 108 FPS with (including 4 frame MFG).
