Following some very closely guarded previews, the new Nvidia RTX 5060 is now available to buy, delivering budget performance to users and just 8GB of VRAM starting at $299 (MSRP). It’s a 1080p card that promises decent framerates, but we’re yet to complete unfettered testing to determine where it ranks among thebest GPUsand our overallGPU benchmarkinghierarchy.
Unveiled in April, the 5060 follows the RTX 5060 Ti, which launched April 16 at prices of $429 and $379 for the 8GB or 16GB model, respectively. Like the Ti, the 5060 includes DLSS 4, including Multi Frame Generation and Super Resolution, as well as Nvidia Reflex. The drivers were released on May 19 alongside the card, which has precluded reviews going out ahead of release.
Over the weekend, select outlets publishedpreviewarticles with strict criteria about which games could be tested and using which settings.
As you might imagine, these very favorable conditions yielded up to 25% performance boosts over Nvidia’s RTX 4060. Reportedly, Nvidia only sanctionedAvowed,Doom: The Dark Ages,Marvel Rivals,Cyberpunk 2077, andHogwarts Legacyas review titles, with comparisons limited to the RTX 3060 and RTX 2060 Super, with resolution fixed at 1080p, ultra image quality, DLSS in quality mode, and ray tracing. Settings were also limited to running frame generation exclusively.
This has naturally yielded fairly positive results thus far for obvious reasons. From the available figures, the 5060 trails the Ti variant by around 15% on average when using 2x DLSS, but appears to show performance increases of up to 25% over the RTX 4060 running titles likeCyberpunk 2077.
Naturally, we’d recommend waiting for full reviews (including our own, which is on the way) before making the purchase. However, if you’d like to look at stock or have no qualms about taking the plunge, here’s where you’re able to buy one.
