Test Setup

System Setup

We are using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D for testing. We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest release BIOS. We have enabled PCI-Express Resizable BAR in the motherboard BIOS. We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory. We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates, including the 24H2 update. We have the latest drivers installed, including the latest chipset drivers.  We are using the “Balanced” power profile in Windows Settings, and Core Isolation/Memory Integrity (VBS) is enabled.

We are using the NVIDIA-provided press driver for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti launch, which is version 575.94, and we are using it on each NVIDIA GPU as in this comparison as well.

SUMMARY

The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GAMING OC 16G from GIGABYTE is a well made video card, with a solid appealing textured design. Using GIGABYTE's WINDFORCE cooling system, the video card runs very cool and quiet, and delivers ample headroom for enthusiast tweaking and overclocking. It's sleek design, and looks with custom hardware and features made it a sleek design in the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti category. The performance is an uplift from the previous generation, though it can't quite reach RTX 4070 level of performance, which would one would come to expect at this point in time for this category. The 16GB of VRAM is the preferred spec for this GPU, and allows the RTX 5060 Ti to perform to its full potential. Overall, the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GAMING OC 16G demands a price premium, but offers a good entry in this category from GIGABYTE.

Anyone else remember when the current gen video cards would reliably smoke the previous gen one model revision higher in performance for less money? I remember.,..

Still a decent card for 1080p. Nips at the heels of the 5070 in every way when overclocked and while higher priced than MSRP, it is quite a bit cheaper than one. Not to mention very power efficient.

I bet a 9070 dusts it. ;)

I bet it does too, but can you find one, in stock, at $529. I checked for online just now and the closest prices I'm seeing are about $150 more.

My wishful thinking was that it would stand between the RTX 4070 and 4070Super, but if you were on the market for a RTX 4060Ti, might as well get this.

Yea that's fair I suppose.

I guess the real question, if comparing sort-of like-for-like is how the 9060 series will compete but I've gotten a little confused as to whether there will be just XT or if an XTX is in the works.

F'n $600 for an entry level GPU is ... just gonna kill gaming rigs. Why not just get a console for that money?

Say hello to our new discrete graphic overlords.

Yeah, sigh, not the best of times for sure.

Although, giggle, that metric reference (consoles) probably won't matter much if the next gen is significantly over $600, which it could well be given what the NS2 will go for.
