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

[Ruru]

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.

Asus recently hyped their 3060 as a great value card

ASUS Proposes that DUAL GeForce RTX 3060 OC Card Offers "Incredible Value" in 2025

Take a look at the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for January 2025, and you'll find no fewer than three graphics cards from the now-venerable NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series lineup. We mean no offense to these battle-proven units, but we suspect that if your machine is still rocking one of these...

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.

It just isn't profitable anymore in this tier Nvidia/AMD should just be honest and say it doesn't make sense to make anything any better for this tier these are essentially the 149-199 usd gpus at 2x-3x the cost and they only sell well becuase lets face it if you can't get anything else in the price range that's worth a $#!+ what are you supposed to do wait a half decade+ to upgrade. My only issue is this tier is what leads to progress in game engines etc and pushes up the minimum spec at the same time there are a ton of people who love stagnation becuase it means their hardware last longer good for them I guess.

They spelled $600 wrong.

Or spend 6 bucks on lossless scaling app on steam and open a world of options use CPU built in GPU or a second dedicated GPU and beat the snot out of DLSS 4 in quality, quality and latency of Frames. I've been tinkering with it for a while now and I believe it's the future or at least has the potential to be.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

Not a huge fan but I don't like frame generation in general.

I did buy the app because I feel like the work they are doing deserves that at a min.

Have you used a secondary GPU for this? It's been something I've been wanting to try but haven't got around to doing.
I wonder what at it's most-demanding/highest quality it would take to do 3x at 4k native secondary. It is a cool app, not knocking it; actually trying to get the most out of it (but I think above ~3x kind of sucks).

Very much considering doing this, but I need to figure out exactly what I need. But, given my luck, I'll figure it out and then AMD/nVIDIA will do what we all TRULY want and deploy dynamic scaling/FG to a rez/fr.

Given nVIDIA came in with that DLSS percentage slider (showing it really isn't that dependent on pre-baked settings; more of a guide for games to have settings work on different cards) dynamic can't be far off.
If you supplemented it with FG when applicable (say not unlike LFC) to meet your target refresh rate, that would be kind of cool. One step beyond DRS, which is kind of a boon for consoles and should exist on PC.

I understand the reasons people have explained it doesn't exist (yet), but I also don't think those obstacles are insurmountable. I kind of feel both companies are dragging their feet as it may kill the market TBH.

Only 16GB version available to reviewers... Review the 16GB version and sell the 8GB version. Nice.

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.

How‘s that AMD performance doing 4 years later?

What’s that, they don’t sell a single sku at these price points? AMD’s current gen top part loses to Nvidia’s two generation old parts? Talk about a step backwards, AMD has invented time travel.

 

[Easo]

That has to be one of the most insane marketing graphs I have seen. Not 6x faster, 60x faster. Lol what?

Mucho cope and apologists in this thread...which I do not understand. You look at the chart, you know it's bullshit, you look at the prices, and know they're bullshit, you see the perf, which you know is bad, you look at the ram, which you know is either not enough or massively overpriced for it's compute perf, AND YOU STILL MAKE EXCUSES FOR THEM.

I know, for instance, how a 6800xt is capable of performing generally. I also know you could get them for not much over $300 at several points if you truly watched for one, and they still aren't horrible 1440p cards.

That's amazing, if you truly can't see nVIDIA's longevity problems. I posted the 1080p for RT so you can TRULY grasp the ram issues that are truly often unsurmountable, unlike a smaller setting tweak/OC on AMD.
Those are usually 1440p issues (which show the same trend), but was just keeping the game consistant to prove a point. Go play something like HoRiZoN ZeRo DaWn wHeRe tHe fRaMeRaTe DoEs tHiS.
I can give more examples IYW, but at some point just realize it's the freakin' truth. I have no idea what you're talking about wrt AMD losing to two gen old cards; 3090TI has the WORST longevity I've ever seen.

Are you really going to argue pricing? Do you REALLY want to do that? How far away is N44, and do you think it will perform tangibly worse? Perhaps more importantly, do you think they'll cost more?

I think we can predict it'll likely be somewhere around a 300/350 split, maybe even less, certainly over time (if 6600/7600 were any indication).

If history is any indication, a 8GB will compete with 5060, eventually for less, a 16GB with the 8GB Ti, eventually for less, and the GRE with the 16GB Ti...and be a MUCH better card.
So they will perform the same or better, while being priced cheaper. Again, I expect the GRE to compete favorably with the 5070, or else what is the literal point, and probably priced against the TI 16GB.

We can wait until all the cards launch, iyw, but there ain't no defending nVIDIA's longevity. It's straight up BAD. They have taken advantage of many people not understanding this for way too long.

AMD’s current gen top part loses to Nvidia’s two generation old parts?

You should provide evidence of this.

 

[_roman_]

It'll sell very well.

There are people still writing 8GiB VRAM are enough a few days ago.

It has the nvidia brand.

My car needs after 5 years and 6 months a single spare part which costs more than my Radeon 7800XT purchase price. A set of tyres cost even more as my Radeon 7800xt for a entry level car. Every 4 years It is recommended to change the summer and winter tyres. In my point of view buy used or get something better as the radeon 7800xt.

People below the age of 18 who purchase their computer gear themselves may buy such things like the nvidia 3060...

At Nvidia - Million of people play on their integrated cpu graphics. Million of people play on their smartphones and tablets. I do not care for those internet caffees with their low specced computers which ruin the statistics. Or very old computers.

 

[SSGBryan]

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)

Low cost, local AI card.

 

[Vayra86]

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.

Yeah its just too bad they pissed that chance away royally from RDNA2 onwards. They had the momentum and lost it. They dawdled for two full, long winded generations on adding to featureset. FSR progress is far too slow, and now that they've managed to uplift RT performance, they forgot making a proper GPU stack even with a very competitive architecture. Its like AMD just loves to set itself up for missing the sweet spot just enough to push you to buy Nvidia.

With friends like this you don't need enemies. But look at AMD totally killing that midrange mass market for discrete GPUs now! Oh man! Market share is soaring...

Their GPU progress is nowhere in AMD's history even remotely comparable to what they did with Zen, and it never will be. They'd need an Nvidia-regime release cadence for more than two consecutive generations and they need to accelerate those roadmaps by at least two quarters to nip at the heels of team green at this point - and then they'd have to continue doing that indefinitely. That's not a pace AMD has managed for GPUs - ever. Even when they rebranded they were slower.

Good grief.. They're really bending over backwards.

Hahaaa... and that's WITH a platform rocking a 9800X3D and pushing 1440 max settings... so this comparison includes running RT on your Pascal card without DLSS. That's the 0x - and the 50x is running the most optimal setup you can imagine.

See... Nvidia has stacked so much bullshit on top of your hardware, you need a 120 page instruction book to properly explain what's going on now. Misinformation to feed the masses. So 2025.

God Damn those graphs are insane I sold my old 3070 and was wondering if I should get one of these for living room PC if I can manage to find one for msrp, but seems like easier said than done. I'll never go through what I had to do to secure my RTX 5090FE again.

I picked up a 6700xt but with that setup I've been happy running at 2 or 3x and been constantly over 200fps and I don't notice latency at all. Both my cards are RDNA 2 so RT is still an issue but going from 20fps at 2k in Cyberpunk to 60+ is very smooth run at 3x and look better than DLSS 4. They have a discord server it in the link in the vids on their channel I'd check it out lots of information.

Nvidia releases a 16 gb 5060ti. Everyone ignores it just so they can complain about the 8gb version... No matter what Nvidia does, certain people will just complain. They can't just skip the 8gb version which apparently they don't like and get the 16 gb instead. No, they have to complain. Why? Nobody really knows.

Because of charging ridiculous price for GPU's and frankly 8GB should have never been released at this day and age. Nvidia is making enough profits and should actually release the 8GB 5060TI for less than 199$ or simply donate these GPUs to people that can't afford their ridiculous prices anymore. These should have been called 5050 series anyways.

That's a pricing discussion and has nothing to do with 8 or 16 gb. Even if the 16gb 5060ti was at 199 there would still be an 8gb for 149 and people would still be complaining about it's existence for no reason.

If the price ends up being 400 for the 8gb and let's say 480 for the 16 no chance in hell I'm spending 80 extra bucks just to use ultra textures instead of high. That's absurd. I'll keep the 80 bucks. You on the other hand are trying to remove that option from me. Why?

 

[N/A]

Not everyone needs more than 8GB just for doing basic tasks most of the time, it would be a waste. I rarely see more than 8GB used with a 2080 Ti. And if you want 192bit there's the 5070. 16GB is completely useless for a low end 4608 shader card. that's like a 4GB GTX 1050 Ti.

 

[Krit]

8GB is fine for old games and simple tasks what is not fine is the price. Intel ARC B580 is way more expensive to produce but somehow nvidia is more expensive with less vram and twice as small die size.

Or just use CPU if not gaming or if you're just gaming the odd time a APU is probably better. I honestly think APU's will take over anything below an 70 series card at some point no one wants to spend hundreds on a bottom end GPU that basically requires DLSS for anything meaningful. 4k has been the standard for 10 years and I had to look this up but the first 4k monitor was released in 2001and these cards couldn't drive 4k 60 without help it's why most gamers won't go above 1440p it's disgusting.

Isn't an APU (or a GT 1030 or something) enough for "basic tasks", I doubt that it needs an overpriced lower mid-end card?

 

[PixelTech]

I think a more appropriate price would be around $300 for all 3 cards. But also stop production of the Ti 8GB version right away and say it's a canceled card, but sell the ones that were produced already.

Edit: Big tech reviewers should collaborate and agree to not make reviews for the 5060 Ti 8GB and make a statement that they aren't. And maybe go as far to just not even acknowledge that it exists. Don't advertise the bad buy, the stagnation, nor review something NV isn't going to give them proper time to put reviews together with full detail. If even big tech channels struggle to review a card with loads of money, resources, and man power in time for the review embargo to release, why bother with the disrespect from NV?

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

Got the MicroCenter email on launch. All are over MSRP. All are sold out already, and the store opened 23 minutes ago as of this post. Highest price is/was $529 for the 16GB model, lowest is/was $419 for the 8GB model.
