The long -awaited budget of Nvidia (or maybe I should say “budget”) the RTX 5000 GPUs are finally here, with a last minute announcement that the RTX 5060 Ti will abandon on April 16 – yes, it’s tomorrow.
The price is naturally what most people were waiting to see, and I can confirm that the RTX 5060 Ti will start at $ 379 / £ 349 very reasonable (around $ 595 in) – although it is for the 8 GB model, with the 16 GB model collecting you $ 429 / £ 399 (around $ 675) in MSRP.
The good news is that it is a generational price drop against the RTX 4060 TI, for both models. Even better, an RTX 5060 (Non-Ti) arrives in May, with a price of $ 299 (other regional prices to be confirmed), and laptops of the RTX 5060 series will also start to drop in May.
The bad news is that availability is likely to be difficult, if the recent carnage on the GPU market is something to go. Between ridiculous price inflation, horribly low stock levels, nonsense linked to prices and missing ROPs on certain cards, it was a perfect storm that was disastrous at the limit for other RTX 5000 launches, and there is nothing to indicate that it will be better.
Graphic violence
Hell, what do you know? I could go so far as to say that I expect the availability to be Even worse This time. Announce the card via a blog article 24 hours before the launch is practically a drop in stealth, and even if I do not expect exactly the same fanfare that we saw for the RTX 5090, it almost looks like NVIDIA has expelled it like a problem child at its 18th anniversary.
I recently noted that the renowned law on the leak of Moore equipment is dead (Mlid) on Youtube reported a source saying that the RTX 5060 Ti launch would be among the worst SURs of recent memory. Basically, you will find it difficult to get your hands on one of these cards.
On the right side, this launch is (apart from availability), which has reinforced the performance of Blackwell GPU of Nvidia and the management of DLSS 4 to PC players with smaller budgets, which has become desperately necessary; After all, it is not a secret for anyone that many recent versions of Triple-A PC have experienced difficulties in terms of performance without modern resolution screening solutions such as DLSS and the generation of increasingly divided framework.
There is one more tripper for the most recent NVIDIA GPU to also overcome: the potential of a “motherboard tax” caused by the upgrade to PCIe 5.0. This is a problem that could sting buyers with budget more than anyone can drop several thousand on a high -end card. Personally? I think I will keep an eye on the RX 9060 XT of AMD instead …
