NVIDIA Sends MSRP Numbers to Partners: GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB at $379, RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB at $429
Next week's planned launch of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti series brings two SKUs differentiated by memory capacity and pricing. Both models leverage the GB206-300 GPU, made on a 5 nm node from TSMC, and feature a 128-bit memory interface paired with GDDR7 chips running at an effective 28 Gbps. According to IT Home, NVIDIA has communicated MSRP figures to its key AIC partners ahead of the mid-April rollout. The entry-level 8 GB variant is set at an MSRP of ¥3,199 (roughly $379), while the 16 GB version carries an MSRP of ¥3,599 (about $429). This is a reduction from the $399 and $499 prices anticipated earlier. NVIDIA is adjusting its pricing strategy for these mid-tier chips to align itself against the competition better and draw more new buyers.
Under the hood, the GB206-300 core activates 36 streaming multiprocessors, delivering a total of 4,608 CUDA cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2,407 MHz, boosting to 2,572 MHz under load. Memory runs at 1,750 MHz (28 Gbps effective), routed through the 128-bit bus to yield up to 448 GB/s of bandwidth. Graphics-specific throughput is augmented by 144 texture mapping units and 48 render output units, while 36 dedicated ray-tracing cores handle real-time lighting calculations. Additionally, 144 tensor cores accelerate AI-driven workloads such as DLSS upscaling and machine-learning inference. Power delivery for both cards is managed via a single 16-pin connector, with a total board power of 180 W. Display connectivity includes one HDMI 2.1b port alongside three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, and the card interfaces with host systems over PCI Express 5.0 x16.

...or they are just trying to get rid of Blackwell dies because they are problematic.
Here's hoping that availability doesn't absolutely blow...
I want my Reflex 2.0 so I can actually use their MFG, 2x is fine though.
Oh yeah, but this is even a better watch: (Articulates very well why I call them nGreedia) :):):)
Currently, silicon is exempt from tariffs, but even if there were tarrifs on US silicon purchased in Taiwan, PC Partner would only pay the reciprocal Taiwanese import tariff on the purchase of the bare GPU die itself from Nvidia, and presumably since Nvidia is selling out of a Taiwanese branch near TSMC, even that might have a workaround to avoid import tariffs since the sale is from TSMC/Nvidia in Taiwan to PC Partner in Taiwan. The bare dies aren't being shipped back to the US just to return to customers in Taiwan again!
Regardless, that import tariff of a GPU die sold from Nvidia to PC Partner is going to be a pretty small fraction of the overall graphics card BOM which is mostly Taiwanese and Chinese parts. Samsung RAM from South Korea, Chinese PCB, Surface mount components, cooling etc. Also packaging, distribution, and admin - none of that is subject to tariffs, and none of the goods from Taiwan sold to anywhere in the world except the US will suffer from US tariffs which are a blight mostly afflicting just the US population for now.
Also these are gaming cards sold and marketed as gaming cards, so yes people are going to consider gaming first.
- Nintendo said Friday that preorders for its hotly anticipated Switch 2 console would be delayed while the company considers the impact of tariffs.
- “Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions,” a Nintendo representative told CNBC.

i show him he was the one that was wrong
guy tells it didn't matter if he was wrong anyway, nothing matter really, we are just space dust
a normal day on the internet :D
Have we not learned anything in the past month?
Also 8gb…
