Within NVIDIA’s new generation mid-range, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will play a very important role as it will serve to cover a large area that will between GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5070, a space that is normally very large, we just have to see that at that time the GeForce RTX 4070 cost twice as much as the GeForce RTX 4060.

The model will be GeForce RTX 5060 Ti premium middle classand will be priced according to the specified range. It will be aimed at those users who don’t have enough money to buy a GeForce RTX 5070, but want to enjoy a higher level of performance than the GeForce RTX 5060 will offer.

We still don’t have official information from NVIDIA about this graphics card, but the alleged leaks and rumors that have been circulating in recent weeks about the GeForce RTX 50 many data have changedand therefore I had to update the article I published last May dedicated to the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti.

Possible specifications of GeForce RTX 5060 Ti

• Graphics core GB206 made on TSMC’s 4nm node.
• 36 SM units.
• 4,608 shaders at speeds between 2.8 GHz and 3.2 GHz.
• 144 texturing units.
• 48 raster units.
• 48 cores of the fourth generation RT.
• 144 fifth generation tensor cores.
• 192-bit bus.
• 8 GB or 12 GB of GDDR7 memory at 28 Gbps (672 GB/s bandwidth).
• 32 MB L2 cache.

These new specs represent a significant downgrade from those previously leaked, and this translates into the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, which theoretically It would be less powerful than originally planned. It makes sense as it fits with the strategy NVIDIA has adopted with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, but we have to take this information with a grain of salt as it is not confirmed.

If we were to compare it with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, the new NVIDIA model would be small increased number of shaders, which would go from 4,352 to 4,608. This would also mean an increase in the number of texturing units and tensor cores and RT cores, although the number of ROPs would be kept the same.

Thanks to these changes, a jump to a new architecture, an increase in the GPU clock and more bandwidth of the graphics memory, the performance improvement compared to the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti It would be bigger than it looks “on paper” specifications of GeForce RTX 5060 Ti.

The difference is significant. Consider that the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti has a 128-bit bus and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, and that the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti could have a 192-bit bus and 12 GB of GDDR7 memory. That would mean passing from a bandwidth of 288 GB/s to one of 672 GB/s, and that 4GB of additional graphics memory would make it a very capable graphics card even at 1440p.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 12 GB of graphics memory It would make sense and be perfectly viable.because NVIDIA could configure the GeForce RTX 5070 with 18 GB of graphics memory using Samsung’s 3 GB GDDR7 chips, although this would force the company to increase the amount of available graphics memory in the GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090.

The amount of L2 cache present in the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti would be the same as in the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, but this would be compensated by this increase in bus width and graphics memory speed. This new graphics card would be much better prepared to move games at 1440p and work with ray tracing, a technology that usually consumes a lot of graphics memory.

We cannot forget that the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will use the Blackwell architecture. This new architecture should improve performance both at the level of shaders, tensor cores and RT cores compared to previous generations, and it is very likely that NVIDIA will take the opportunity to also introduce new technologies that could be exclusive to this new generation.

Performance and possible equivalence

If NVIDIA releases the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with the specs I’ve given you in this article, it will have a raw performance 29.49 TFLOPs in FP32. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti has the power 22.06 TFLOPs in FP32so the difference between the two graphics cards would be 7.49 TFLOPs, which would be enough for a generational leap.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti it would be 32% more efficient than the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, but I already told you that it will have a lot more bandwidth and more graphics memory, and it will also have all the improvements that NVIDIA will introduce with the Blackwell architecture, so the performance difference in games would be much greater, especially when we move into scenarios that need more than 8GB of graphics memory.

If everything I’ve told you so far comes true, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti would be able to offer optimal performance at 1080p and very good performance at 1440p. It would be able to run games at both resolutions without issue, even with ray tracing enabled, and could hold its own at 4K.

If we limit ourselves to a comparison based on TFLOPs in FP32, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is slightly above the GeForce RTX 4070, which has 29.15 TFLOPs in FP32. With that in mind, it should be the first outperforming the latter in games at all resolutionsand the difference should be more pronounced at 1440p and higher due to the higher bandwidth.

In ray tracing, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is likely to be able to match or surpass the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER if it comes with a 12GB GPU configuration. NVIDIA must be clear about the launch of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 8 GB of graphics memory that would be a mistakeas this memory capacity would limit its performance to 1440p.

On the AMD side, if we’re talking about rasterization performance, the closest equivalent would be the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Radeon RX 7800 XT or Radeon RX 6800 XTas both offer very similar performance. In ray tracing, it will be far above both models, thanks to the new fourth-generation RT cores.

Release date and possible price

The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will arrive after the GeForce RTX 5070, meaning it should launch between months March and June 2025. There is no official confirmed date, but it is the most logical stretch considering that the GeForce RTX 5070 will be launched sometime in the first quarter of 2025.

That start could change slightly depending on market conditions, what AMD does with the Radeon RX 8000, as well as the level of inventory the company has of the current generation, but either way we shouldn’t expect a significant delay, that said I don’t think NVIDIA decided to wait until after the second trimester.

Introducing the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti should occur at the same time than the GeForce RTX 5060, because both graphics cards will cover the mid-range, although they will occupy different positions in it and have different price ranges.

And speaking of price, the placement of this new graphics card would be ideal between 399 and 449 euros. This price range would be close enough to make it an interesting option not only against the GeForce RTX 5060, but also against the current generation models.

Recommended power supply and CPU for GeForce RTX 5060 Ti

The consumption of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will not be too high. It will most likely end up like that less than 200 watts, so we won’t need a very powerful power supply to power it optimally. This will depend on the processor we use and the other components of the device, but even in the worst case we will not need a high-end resource.

If the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti arrives with a TGP of 190 watts, we should average load consumption 376 watts with Ryzen 5 7600, 32 GB DDR5, 240 mm liquid cooling AIO kit and NVMe PCIe SSD. This means that from a 500W power supply We would have more than enough to power this PC if it is of minimum quality and has all the necessary connectors.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will take advantage 16 pin connectorbut I’m sure assemblers will release models with two 8-pin connectors. It will also be possible to use classic adapters, so you won’t have to worry that your source is missing the aforementioned connector.

If you have a PC with a higher power consumption processor, you may need to consider installing a higher power supply. For example, with an Intel Core i9-14900K, the consumption of the device I described earlier would rise to 549 peak watts, and in this case it would be appropriate to connect power source 650W.

Choosing the ideal processor for GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is very easy. The minimum should be a Ryzen 5 5600 or Intel Core i5-12400Fand the ideal level would be Ryzen 5 7600 or Intel Core i5-12600K. If you’re in doubt about which processor is ideal for each graphics card, don’t miss this guide, which is constantly updated.
