- A new rumor suggests that Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 TI and RTX 5060 will not need a 12VHPWR power connector
- Should facilitate much easier upgrade
- If you have a PSU 650W or more, you should also be good
It looks like the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 Graphics Cards Cards Could Prove to Be Even Better Value For Money Thani Initially Thought, As A New Rumor Suggests that the mid-strange graphics cards won’t require nvidia’s 12vhpwr connector (Which the Powerful use RTX 5090 and RTX 5080).
Instead, as Videocardz reports, a new rumor by Brother Pan Talks Computers (BPTC) says that the two to come will use standard 8 -pin power connectors. BPTC is a Chinese website that seems to have interior knowledge of Zotac, a component company that makes (among others) third -party GPUs. Although it is still an unconfirmed rumor, there could be a certain truth.
The same rumor suggests that NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 graphics cards will require 650W (PSU) power units, much less than PSU 850W requests from RTX 5080.
Less to upgrade, less to spend
If all of this seems to be a charge of numbers and jargon – don’t worry. Essentially, if this rumor is correct, it should be good news for people who envision the RTX 5060 TI or RTX 5060, because it seems that you will not have to upgrade your PSU or buy new cables.
This will facilitate the upgrade of GPU easier and cheaper, because if you need to upgrade your PSU to support new GPUs, you need to spend additional money – and because the PSU is used to supply various parts of your PC, exchanging this can be a long and frustrating experience – believe me.
As for previous XX60 GPUs, like the RTX 4060 and RTX 3060, the RTX 5060 TI and RTX 5060 will probably be intended for players concerned with the budget, so they will probably not need to buy a new PSU will be without No doubt welcome. In addition, this would certainly make a good choice of value (assuming that the price, which has not been confirmed, is correct).
Of course, there are warnings. First of all, these are all rumors and speculation, so we will not know it with certainty until Nvidia gives us more information on these cards (a recent rumor suggests that they will be launched in March) .
In addition, as Videocardz points out, if the RTX 5060 TI and RTX 5060 will indeed require a PSU 650W, which is a bump compared to the requirements of 550W of the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti. This means that some people may still need to upgrade their PSU to use these GPUs, which will considerably reduce the value proposal for these players.
I hope we will soon know when Nvidia will provide more information on these highly anticipated GPUs, especially since the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 have exhausted and are difficult to find.
