- Leaks point to a late-March launch for the RTX 5060 Ti.
- The graphics card is said to come in 8GB and 16GB variants, with both offering a 180W TBP.
- Nvidia’s current supply challenges are also expected to continue with the upcoming graphics card.
Nvidia has already launched four brand-new graphics cards into the market. As the Blackwell lineup attempts to deal with supply constraints, poor quality control, and melting connectors, another graphics card is expected to join the lineup next month.
New reports shed light on the more budget-oriented RTX 5000 offerings, suggesting the RTX 5060 Ti will arrive in a few weeks.
Why it matters: Nvidia’s 60-series releases have historically sold very well, appealing to a huge part of the PC gaming market. Therefore, fans always look forward to these mid-range offerings with high hopes.
As WCCFTech reports, the RTX 5060 Ti will arrive in the second half of March. The graphics card will also be divided into two variants, with Nvidia offering a 16GB option to address existing VRAM grievances.
The 16GB variant is expected to launch first, with the 8GB model following in April. Both graphics cards will be identical in specifications, boasting 448GB/s bandwidth, a 128-bit memory bus, and the BG206 GPU.
The report also states that Nvidia has decided on 180W TBP for the RTX 5060 Ti. This is a small uplift over the RTX 4060 Ti’s 160W TBP, though this difference will not matter much in real-world uses.
PC gamers can expect similar prices as the last generation, putting these two graphics cards in the $400-500 bracket. However, like the rest of the RTX 5000 lineup, supply will likely be limited.
With the launch much closer than expected, it will also be interesting to see how well the new 60-series offering stacks up against its predecessors. The RTX 4060 Ti already offered an abysmal leap over its predecessor, so many are concerned its successor will follow suit.
If the recent Blackwell gaming GPUs are anything to go by, the RTX 5060 Ti will be around 20-30% faster than its predecessor at best. While this does not sound too horrible, the market pricing is unlikely to reflect real-world performance due to the ongoing shortages.
