ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 Ti TUF Gaming & PRIME SKUs Leaked; 16 GB & 8 GB Variants Listed

[T0@st]

A past weekend leak has presented five unannounced custom GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card models, courtesy of a momomo_us discovery. ASUS seems to be readying day one options in TUF Gaming and PRIME guises, configured with pools of 16 GB and 8 GB VRAM. NVIDIA and involved board partners are expected to launch new lower end "Blackwell" GPU products next week. Industry whispers suggest that Team Green will lift its GeForce RTX 5060 Ti review embargo on April 15.

Alleged benchmark results were highlighted last weekend, preceded by speculative price points—suggesting an imminent arrival. momomo_us did not disclose the origin of the mystery ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 Ti model identifiers, but VideoCardz has found various TUF Gaming and PRIME listings on retail and distributor web presences. Their short investigative piece envisions the eventual arrival of GB206 GPU-based budget-friendly DUAL and premium tier ROG Strix cards.




momomo_us's leaked ASUS SKU list included the following identifiers:

• TUF-RTX5060TI-O16G-GAMING - TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB OC
• PRIME-RTX5060TI-O16G - PRIME GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB OC
• PRIME-RTX5060TI-16G - PRIME GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB
• PRIME-RTX5060TI-O8G - PRIME GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB OC
• PRIME-RTX5060TI-8G - PRIME GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB

Cooler is just to big, stupid.

Well, you'll want to “justify” the 500€ and 450€ Price tag somehow. To think of it, that it most likely will be spec-wise worse than any XX50 SKU in comparison with the flagship card of any gen before.

At least it won't overheat.

At least it won't overheat.

Yeah I have the TuF version of my 3060 Ti and its a very solid card, been using it for 2.5 years and so far there are no complaints from me regarding of its build/cooler quality and performance. 'I did repaste it but thats all it needed since it was a second hand card'
I'm not running a SFF or whatever else small form factor build so the size is a non issue.

Unfortunately it looks like the AIBs are reusing the coolers from superior cards.
For this level dual-slot coolers would have made sense, and I reckon there is value in having a compact, lighter GPU, it means the whole PC case can be scaled down compared to the higher end.
For RDNA4 the Powercolor Reaper managed to be dual-slot, for the 9070 XT it might be borderline, but for the 9070 it's definitely fine.
These would've been nice with dual-slot coolers, but yeah more reasons to drive up the price, they're never short on reasons.
