NVIDIA Confirms GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Starting MSRPs: $429 for 16 GB, & $379 for 8 GB

Earlier today, NVIDIA's public relations department published their "GeForce RTX 5060 Desktop Family" introductory article. Curiously, the company's brand-new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards do not headline Team Green's "dedicated" PR release—instead, the general "game changing" GeForce RTX 5060 series is advertised with a starting price point of $299. Clarification arrives several paragraphs deep into the blurb—as explained with some "PR" magic: "starting April 16th, we're bringing DLSS 4 and Blackwell's suite of innovations to every gamer with the launch of the GeForce RTX 5060 desktop family, beginning with the release of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. And in May, the GeForce RTX 5060 arrives, with prices starting at $299." Very specific cost of ownership digits leaked last week; indicating a refreshing reduction over earlier (disappointing) predictions.

Team Green's publicity team has confirmed starting MSRPs of $429 for 16 GB models, and $379 for 8 GB variants. These official numbers are buried three-quarters of the way into NVIDIA's PR document. Older evidence pointed to a possible repeat of lower end GeForce RTX 40-series guide prices—as it turns out, the GeForce RTX 5060 card's $299 "cost of entry" aligns with its predecessor's launch figure. Based on leaked pre-built PC listings, industry watchdogs deduced the $299 MSRP earlier on in the month. Additionally, Team Green's PR material teased the upcoming launch of related mobile hardware: "the same features, innovations and advantages of the GeForce RTX 5060 desktop family are coming to laptops this May, when GeForce RTX 5060 laptops arrive on shop shelves, starting at $1099." Real life scenario prices are expected to remain "sky-high," even for rumored cheaper devices—equipped with GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile GPUs.
NVIDIA's video description stated: "introducing the GeForce RTX 5060 Family, starting at $299, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell and AI. The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 bring DLSS 4 and the suite of Blackwell innovations to every gamer. The RTX 5060 Family enables beautiful image quality, high frame rate, and low latency in the latest games."

Real price will be the MSRP for 5070

$429 for the 5060 TI 16GB makes me think performance wise it's not going to be a huge jump from last gen.

If this was near or slightly higher than 4070/3080 level performance there's no way it's only $429.

380 USD for a 8GB VRAM cards is a awful. Did they learn nothing from the 4060Ti? The actual price will be higher too, since this is the price BEFORE tariffs and taxes (NVIDIA said they don't know how tariffs will affect the price for sure, atleast as far as I heard in that case)

Not to mention, these cards seem to barely be an improvement over their previous gen (comparing to 40xxS where applicable), which isn't even surprising considering how the 5070 and 5080 faired. :wtf:

The 5070Ti remains the only card that is somewhat compelling to me this gen and that's purely because of its price lol. 5090 too, but its a top end product that costs a arm and a leg so its not that compelling to me besides where the future of graphics are concerned.

They learned that the 4060 was a bestseller, with the 4060Ti not being far behind. Not sure what lesson they were supposed to learn here.

I suppose I cant argue that; but its still very.. irritating... but me and you can both admit that the 4060 and 4060Ti sold well not because of what they actually were as GPU's. Atleast, that definitely wasn't the main factor. Seeing a xx60 class card sell well is like like saying water is wet. It isn't surprising.. but you'd think NVIDIA would try more to give more to the average 'gamer'.

I wonder how many 4060 and 4060Ti's 'selling well' if we have all this data to go by is from prebuilts or not. I'm sure it makes up a more significant portion than people think. I am actually genuinely curious about that in general and not just in my very angry "grr I don't like what NVIDIA is doing!! :mad:" way.

Real question is if Nvidia would consider a RTX 5050Ti with 9GB VRAM with 192-bit bus at around $300 which maybe they shave off a RT cores and or shaders on it relative to the RTX 5060 8GB to keep as a affordable alternative that's more AI TOPS orientated. I think it would strike a good compromise RT is less useful anyway especially on a weaker tier GPU like this to begin with and AI TOPS is useful for both AI and in general for upscale and post process for games that makes the remaining shaders and RT cores come across a bit more effective by extension. The RTX 5050 could be 6B and 96-bit bus as cheaper option. I think leaning into AI TOPS further would probably be a good decision.

Nvidia doesn't sell based on the quality of its products. It sells because of the blind brand loyalty of the fan masses.
It is a terrible product in fact.
RTX 3070 Ti performance 4 years later. Negligible performance gains against both the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 4060 Ti, another rebrand and a step backwards.
Transistor density remains the same. No progress at all.

192-bit for -50 tier card? That hasn't been a thing since GTX 650 Ti Boost, and as we know today's Nvidia, 96-bit bus would be almost certain.

People keep repeating that as if it’s something unique to NV or in some way addressable by anyone. Sure, such an argument could be made. But that’s just what mind share does. NV has established itself as THE GPU company years ado and the normal NV consumer customer is not a “fan”’of the company. In fact, he doesn’t care. He isn’t an enthusiast at all. He isn’t fighting for NV on the forums or whatever people might imagine. He just needs a card for his PC to play games and he knows for a fact that NV makes them and makes them well. He just goes to the store of his choosing, buys something in his price range (usually below 400 bucks), puts it in his PC (or maybe he buys the whole thing prebuilt) and just plays video games. There isn’t any sort of brand fandom involved, really, just habit and convenience.

It is what it is. The market has spoken. Expecting a company with a near-monopoly to go out of their way to provide more than a minimally viable product for the price point is a bit odd. There’s no incentive for them to do so, not unless the bottom falls out and the sales completely evaporate, which isn’t happening anytime soon. I can provide an analogy - recently, the Switch 2 was announced and Nintendo straight up said that they are not upgrading the joycons to HE or TMR sticks. They don’t have to, sales will come anyway, the average customer doesn’t care. Sure, nowadays it isn’t like those things are expensive tech, we’ve seen just recently that even the newer TMR tech is now coming to budget controllers. So could Nintendo do that and just spend a tiny bit more? Sure. But why bother when you are guaranteed sales anyway?

Kinda feels like the 8GB version shouldn’t exist at the Ti level. Just save it for the non-Ti, like what AMD did with the 7600 XT. Seems especially true if they are discouraging the 8GB reviews.

can somebody explain me why NVIDIA has 16G cards in the x060 serie but not in the x070? (not even in x070 Ti, for 40 serie)

8gb is awful in 2025 even at 1080p it kinda screams buy me and your running mid to low settings on a card that likely to cost what a 6800xt/7800xt cost I'd honestly save up a bit longer and buy the next step up or look to the used market nobody should consider this a budget price.

AMD needs to do the same as they did on the CPU side. Realisticly nobody gives a crap about Intel anymore, maybe the ultra low budget gamers (1x100 & 1x400 are fine), but practically every gamer from mid-end to enthusiast level has a Ryzen on their system.

So… if a 1060 gets 30 FPS in a game you mean that the 5060Ti will get 1500 FPS? I, uh, don’t think that even with DLSS and FG it’s particularly achievable. I think they fucked up with an additional 0. If they said 5x it would be at least plausible, even if shaky due to AI tech use. 50 times? Come on NV, don’t give people more ammunition to dunk on you like that.

Don't know if you seen jayztwocents vid he accidentally posted early it's down not but basically it can't match a 6800xt it's a waste of sand so I can only imagine how bad the 8gb will be no wonder they didn't send them out for review. I honestly think APU's will take over this tier soon.

Never seen a graph this stupid. You need already to have the manufacturers' graphs and claims with a grain of salt, but this is nothing else than a ridiculous claim.

Considering some companies are either still selling the 3060 or they resurrected it again for $300, maybe this isn’t the slide they were hoping for.
