NVIDIA Launches GeForce RTX 5060 Series, Beginning with RTX 5060 Ti This Week

[medi01]

FSR4 is pretty impressive (still behind DLSS) but its being held back immensely by being stuck to RDNA4 cards.. the beefed up RT and general raster performance that AMD has always delivered w/ a compelling price AT LAUNCH (really need to highlight this) is what drives this generation.

Agree with at launch point.

But RDNA4 limit in this context is a positive aspect, boosting 9000 series sales.

Optimistic expectations were that it would get closer to DLSS3, FSR 4 landing between DLSS 3 and 4 is a shocker with consequences: green lead was not as big as perceived, this sets different expectations of what will come in the future.

I do not consider it a positive because it means the best point FSR has had against DLSS no longer really applies imo.. most new DLSS tech was locked to newer cards, whereas FSR's stuff really wasn't until now. Which is a bummer. (as far as I understand anyway, I don't mess with DLSS or FSR that much. Swap between either of them depending on the game considering I still daily a NVIDIA card for now)

I suppose that it is a positive for 9000 series but not as a whole imo.

FSR4 is seriously impressive, but the problem many people still has remains; It's behind DLSS (aka DLSS4) still. I don't think it will ever escape DLSS's shadow personally unless they seriously set up their development on it but FSR4 is 'good enough' for me to where I don't really find DLSS4 a compelling reason to buy 50 series. My eyes can only spot the differences for so long.

$425 + tax for a mainstream card

Does it have 48 rops or up to 48 rops?

 

[Bomby569]

even with the 8gb the 5060 is cheap for 2025 standards and fine for most 1080p needs, and we all know silicon is priced like gold right now, so i wonder if anyone will even ever set eyes on those cards.
How are they going to satisfy the endless appetite for the nvidia 60 gpus?

5060 will be rarer than unicorn farts

 

[adilazimdegilx]

Indiana Jones cannot run 1080p Supreme (non PT) (crashes) on 8GB 4060 even though 16GB 4060 runs comfortable over 60FPS.
Final Fantasy 16 1080p MEDIUM settings runs with horrible 1% lows (under 30FPS~) even though it runs over 60FPS on average. 16GB 4060 has 60% higher 1% lows.
These are already not maxed out settings and without FG (uses even more VRAM) and even at 1080p. Imagine a much more powerful 5060TI needing to drop down settings at 1080p for 375$... Just get used 4070 or something at this point.

I was just about to take the jump with a 7800 XT found at ~490 euros where I live (unfortunately, 9070/XT prices are completely out of whack), but this was getting just that bit over the ideal budget for me, and I wasn't crazy about the lack of FSR4, either (if FSR4 worked on 7800XT, I wouldn't even care about these new nvidia releases). Depending on the price it lands, I may actually go for 5060 Ti, instead, though I don't think I'll go for it if it's inflated to ~5oo prices. The MSRP seems actually quite reasonable, at least by nvidia standards, but we'll have to see how much that lasts.

If 5060 Ti 16GB already has $425 MSRP then it's fat chance you can get it below 490€ in EU when it launches. Plus who knows what the availability will be like.
You're much better off waiting for 9060 XT 16GB or 9070 GRE (if it launches globally).

What's with the 8 GB models not being available for reviewers, but still launching at the same date, but maybe later?

Nvidia sweeping the performance of 8GB cards under the rug and hoping people will buy one based on 16GB reviews, instead of a 7700XT or similar-price GPU with enough VRAM.

We're at the point now where a decent number of commonly-benchmarked games actually run slower on the 8GB 4060Ti than they do on the otherwise-identical 16GB 4060Ti. By withholding review samples of 8GB 5060Ti cards, Nvidia hope to avoid all the bad press that a GPU without enough VRAM is going to generate, and hope to cash in on gullible victims and system integrators who are unaware of the performance shortfall of the 8GB models.

Worse still, the lack of 5060Ti 8GB vs 16GB reviews will naturally lead people who have some awareness to search for it and find 2023's 4060Ti comparison where the differences were marginal because in commonly-benchmarked 2023 games there was very little that couldn't run well on an 8GB card.

Yes, this should be considered fraud, and penalized accordingly, heavy, heavy heaaaaaaaaaaaaaavyyyyyyyyy fine.

It should do better than earlier 8GB cards within the right context, but depends just how far you're pushing allocation usage. Between the higher compute and bandwidth it can shuffle more data in and out of VRAM as well as upscale more easily and quickly and/or at better relative visual quality than what RTX 4060Ti. At least it should be able to unless Nvidia managed to make it inferior.

Welp, here's hoping that the 5050 series launch graphic drivers brings the fixes we're all screaming/yelling at NIVIDIA for.
My 90 FE has bad coil whine for anything rendering in 3D. It always freezes after cold booting up my PC after launching any application, twice! For about 20 sec to 1.5 min, unless I spam random keys. Will randomly freeze the screens for that 1.5 min and you can still hear audio playing. Fortnite will always crash during a Battle Royal game, Overwatch 2 will crash right away after launching, and some games will get black screens on the main monitor when trying to Alt + Tab then goes into feezing the screens with audio still playing. The performance is either worse, the same, or better between games compared to my 4090, have benchmarked to reveal this. And for some reason Amazon product pages will have a VRAM like static rectangle that appears over the Windows taskbar and Firefox window. Same issues persist for all 572.XX versions, with DDU uninstaller in Safe Mode. I'm close to RMAing or doing clean install of W10.

 

[Visible Noise]

The prices were fake well before trade issues or scalping, mainly because Nvidia is holding back gaming gpu supply.

I'm sure you can provide proof of this right? Right??

That sounds like a hardware problem, baby boo, I don’t think any amount of driver updates will help you there. Especially the coil whine. That shit is pure lottery based on individual card samples.

I have a video of the static rectangle, but I get this message:

There's something very sinister about review embargos being in effect until the product is actually on sale. Not even 24 hours?

The 5060Ti 16GB is likely the most important card this generation, in that it's in the price segment where the highest volume of sales have traditionally been, and it's also avaiable with enough VRAM to not be a problem. To stealth launch it with this unprecedented review delay is extremely odd. Here's hoping that AMD can capitalise on this. I'd hope for Intel too, but they don't seem willing or capable to match anything in this performance tier.

I have to agree. There might be something hinky there. Or it could be nothing. we'll see.

Hardware Unboxed

I'm going to be blunt, this is likely because a lot of people are not looking objectively at factual data and being butthurt about how they feel slighted because cards are being made with only 8GB of VRAM instead of amounts they think are more appropriate.

 

[yfn_ratchet]

How much do you want to bet a 5060 SUPER 12GB is going to come out the instant 3GB G7 modules become a viable option?

I understand needing to release something on a regular schedule, previous business and all the hot-air MBA professors in the world say as much, but I feel like the 5060/5060Ti 8GB are sacrifical lambs while they cook up something better for a later release. It's ill timing.

Anything is possible. How likely it is? Who knows..

 

[Chrispy_]

Anything is possible. How likely it is? Who knows..

There's supposedly at least a 20% density premium on the upcoming 24Gbit modules so that makes it 90% or more the cost of just slapping 16GB of VRAM on there with the current chips.

I suspect the lions share of these 24Gb modules are going straight to the datacenter on Blackwell AI accelerators, which would be capped at 64GB on a double-sided design using existing 16Gb chips, yet customers will pay thousands to get 96GB using 24Gb modules because it is cheaper than paying tens of thousands for solutions with massive stacks of HBM3.

I don't forsee ultra-budget GPUs with a sub-$200 BoM getting any hope in hell of securing significant quantities of well-priced 24Gb GDDR7 modules, though I'd love to be proven wrong as that means we win.

 

[SRS]

The prices were fake well before trade issues or scalping, mainly because Nvidia is holding back gaming gpu supply.

5090: 25% more power for 30% more performance, extremely roughly, but most people who are buying this card don't really mind and can probably afford it.

That apparently applies to Falcon Northwest shoppers. Most would-be buyers, though, don't have pockets that are deep enough to avoid this:

fantasy pricing + reality availability =

reality pricing + reality availability =

Golden, this is so true .

And here I'm sitting, waiting in EU for 9070 xt to go 700 or lower and then pick up one.

LTT's just dropped a banger of a video calling out the shady manipulation of the press and ridiculous launch cycle, something HUB touched on yesterday.

LInus has basically joined the other Linus is screaming "F*** you, Nvidia" as loudly and blatantly as he can.

 

[Bwaze]

Funny thing is, I have now seen a lot of people thinking of buying Nvidia 50x0 cards right away, no matter the crappy cost and crappy performance increase versus 40x0. They mainly have older cards, but were still planning to wait this generation out - but now apparently they don't think it will get any better than this in the next 2 years - tariffs, recession, Nvidia's focus on server AI... It can get much, much worse than this!

 

[Deleted member 190956]

Just watched graphs from the leaked 5060 jayz review and…. yeah, it doesn’t look all that good. Not waiting for AMD to grace us with the same-but-50-dollar-fewer paper-msrp variant, either. 7800 XT at 490 euros seems like a bargain right now, even without good upscaling, and that’s what I’ll be going for.

While u wait 9060 XT
U will get all the answears, if below 490e, availability..

5060Ti 16GB 475e here whit Vat

Better to buy Nvidia
