One of the graphics cards will be GeForce RTX 5060 the most important within the new generation of NVIDIA, because it will become the entry model in the middle class, which is one of the busiest and most demanded levels in the market of graphics cards for ordinary consumers due to the ratio of price and performance.

Its launch is expected to incl first or second quarter of 2025so there is still a lot of time until the official announcement of this graphics card, although thanks to the various leaks and rumors that have been circulating, I have been able to share with you a fairly complete article summarizing the specifications and possible performance of the GeForce. RTX 5060.

We have a pretty good idea of ​​what the GeForce RTX 5060 could offer, but what would this graphics card need to offer to gain consumer interest? It is an interesting question and I will tell you about it in this article five things you should have this graphics card will become one of the best in the middle class.

1.- GeForce RTX 5060 should have more graphics memory

Early rumors said that the GeForce RTX 5060 would arrive with an 8GB graphics memory configuration, but with the introduction of Samsung’s GDDR7 memory with a density of 3GB per chip, it is possible that this graphics card will hit the market configured with 12 GB of graphics memory.

I think it’s a good time for NVIDIA to take advantage of increasing the amount of graphics memory in all of their next generation graphics cards. The availability of these 3 GB GDDR7 chips makes it very easy and with a change of this type would greatly improve the value and interest GeForce RTX 5060 among consumers.

A graphics card with 8 GB of memory is still perfectly capable of running games in optimal conditions with a resolution of 1080p, and except for very specific cases of very poorly optimized games, we will not have a shortage of graphics memory, but within the next generation standardizing 12GB of graphics memory is best What NVIDIA has done.

GeForce RTX 5060 with 12 GB I would have enough memory in 1080p with maximum quality, ray tracing and image generation enabled and offers a very good experience at 1440p resolution. It would also be a more balanced graphics card with a longer lifespan.

2.- Higher performance compared to the previous generation

We already know that with each new generation there is a significant improvement in performance compared to the previous generation, but what I mean by that is that this leap is more pronounced to achieve a greater differencethereby increasing interest in the GeForce RTX 5060 as an upgrade option from more powerful graphics cards.

This is ultimately a positive for consumers and also for NVIDIA, which will have an easier time promoting the GeForce RTX 5060 as a graphics card capable of outperforming the much more powerful models of the previous generation. For example, if this graphics card is more powerful than the GeForce RTX 4070 it will be more interesting which ends up placing almost like the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti.

When we talk about graphics card performance, we no longer only consider rasterization, we have to factor it into the equation as well. ray tracing. In this sense, the development that NVIDIA’s RTX XX60 series graphics cards have undergone is clear:

• GeForce RTX 2060: GeForce GTX 1070 Ti performance in rasterization.
• GeForce RTX 3060 12GB: Performance above GeForce RTX 2070 in rasterization, above GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER in ray tracing.
• GeForce RTX 4060: performance close to that of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in rasterization, better than in ray tracing.

In this case I am clear, it would be ideal if the GeForce RTX 5060 is able to offer the performance similar to the GeForce RTX 4070 in rasterization and equal or slightly better than ray tracing.

3.- Exclusive technologies that mean a generational leap

Performance is important, but so is technology. NVIDIA proved it with the launch frame generation, a technology exclusive to the GeForce RTX 40, which has been one of the biggest drivers of this generation in terms of sales.

The possibility of access to this technology even in the most basic models of this generation better placement and interest consumers around the GeForce RTX 40, so much so that even AMD was eventually forced to launch its own version with FSR 3.

For this scenario to repeat itself, NVIDIA should accompany the GeForce RTX 5060 and in general all models of the GeForce RTX 50 series at least new technology that can make a differencewhether improving the performance or graphical quality of games.

I still don’t have information on that, so I just have to wait. However, I would like to remind you that in recent months various information has appeared that point to quite interesting technologies, such as intelligent texture compression to reduce graphics memory consumption.

4.- Better ratio of power to consumed watt

Improvements in efficiency, understood as performance per consumed watt, are another of the most important values ​​that the new generation of graphics cards must offer. With the GeForce RTX 4060, NVIDIA has achieved a very important improvement in this sense, as it is a graphics card capable of offering almost the same performance as the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, but with a TGP of 115 watts, i.e. 75 watts less.

Since the GeForce RTX 5060 will be an entry-level model in the middle class, it is ideal that its consumption should be as low as possible so that it does not require very powerful power supply. Thanks to this, its assembly will be much easier and more economical, because with lower consumption it will also be an upgrade that will be available even to users with less powerful resources.

Rumor has it that the GeForce RTX 5060 could have an approximate TGP 150 watts, which would mean an increase of 35 watts compared to the GeForce RTX 4060. If the new NVIDIA graphics card could offer performance similar to the GeForce RTX 4070, this consumption would be reasonable because it has 200W TGP.

In that case, the GeForce RTX 5060 would perform like a GeForce RTX 4070, but consume 50 watts less, which would mean improving efficiency by 33.33%. On the other hand, a graphics card with a TGP of 150 watts would work perfectly with a cheap PSU of only 500 watts.

5.- Well-adjusted price in accordance with its assortment

Another key point for the GeForce RTX 5060 to be very successful is price-performance ratio. To explain this point well, we need to start from the important things I already mentioned, such as performance and installed graphics memory.

If this graphics card is able to offer almost the same performance as the GeForce RTX 4070 and if it also offers the same amount of graphics memory, 12 GB, we have to take the reference price of this one, which currently starts at 560 euros, and look for a reasonable point below that number.

The GeForce RTX 4060 hit the market with a price tag 335 eurosso if everything i told you is true both performance wise and graphics memory configuration i guess so The GeForce RTX 5060 should cost a maximum of 350 euros. A GeForce RTX 5060 with 12 GB and the performance of a GeForce RTX 4070 with 50 watts less consumption for 350 euros doesn’t sound bad at all, does it?

If NVIDIA decides to launch the GeForce RTX 5060 with 8 GB of graphics memory for 350 euros You could face significant rejection from users who already felt a significant initial rejection of the GeForce RTX 4060 because it is configured with the same amount of graphics memory, although it ended up being a great success, so much so that it is already the second most used graphics card on Steam.
