The $379 5060Ti (which will probably be impossible to actually buy at $379) is ~10% faster than the RTX 3070, which released 5 years ago for $499.
Seems like another poor value nVidia card.

Hopefully, RX 9060 will be good.

It's fine in a world where MSRP matters.
Unfortunately, MSRP doesn't matter.

Moderated wildly
Better than 4060 Ti not as good as 4070 but with less power draw....Hmmm not amazing...not terrible.

I think EU Nvidia pricing has mostly got to MSRP levels. US is screwed of course.

Looks like my RTX 4070 is going to carry me for quite a bit longer.

$430 for the 16 gb 5060 ti is rather steep. They could have gotten away with $400, but should have been $350.
Lmao at the 8 gb card for $380. An 8 gb card in 2025 for $380.

The target audience for the 5060Ti uses AM4/AM5 motherboards that still have PCIe 3 or 4. The 5060Ti being PCIe-5 x8, makes the card perform less in some games, if it uses the old buses:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PCI-Express x8 Scaling
The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti uses the modern PCI-Express 5.0 bus interface, but supports only an 8-lane configuration. This is just half the bandwidth of the higher-end models, which run at x16. Are you in trouble with an older system, which only supports running at PCIe 4.0?

I guess this one will depend on availability. It's not terrible, it's just not great. Probably fine for the majority of gamers, if you can get one at MRSP

Don't you use Nvidia App to update your drivers?

They released some super heavy graphics demo. They should have gone all Nintendo and made it a 10 dollar download.

Fair enough, i did the same for years, but now i use the app. Basically makes no difference.
About the video:
Getting a card at MSRP would be as rare as seeing a unicorn in the wilds.
I'm just happy i was able to get my RTX 4070 at MSRP price somehow.

It's probably better than the 5060 but slower than the 5060 Ti. Price I guess would depend on how close it is to the 5060 Ti and how much they want to feed off of the 8 GB hysteria.

Horrible value.

Ah balls, x8 is such extreme penny pinching wtf, that's ridiculous for 2025. Ugh I just bought one and have PCI 3 still :/The target audience for the 5060Ti uses AM4/AM5 motherboards that still have PCIe 3 or 4.

$300 would be fine.

Ouch.120$ differences

This ignores all the cards features. It's also 15% faster at 1440p raster and more so with RT and even more so with path tracing. It's faster with DLSS Super Resolution transformer model and drastically faster with Ray Reconstruction transformer model. It's got access to frame gen, reflex 2 and MFG. It's got double the memory and Overclocks extremely well. It's basically a 4070 with better tensor cores, MFG and 16GB of VRAM, considering how hard people cry about the 4070 having 12GB I'd say this is a pretty decent card.

$430 for 16GB is one of the best things about it. The 5070 is $550 and it's only 12GB.$430 for the 16 gb 5060 ti is rather steep. They could have gotten away with $400, but should have been $350.

4% less on ancient PCIe 3. That's nothing, I'd worry more about being stuck on a PCIe 3 CPU.

$430, hah! Cheapest 3-fan version at even Microcenter will be $480, lol. And I bet that one won't stay stocked.$430 for the 16 gb 5060 ti is rather steep. They could have gotten away with $400, but should have been $350.

Yeah if it was $350 it would be OK. Not great but OK. Could be a decent upgrade over my 12GB 3060. But it's current price is way too high and it's going to be even higher in Europe.

The $379 option does not have double the memory. The 3070 is known to overlock well too.
Not a good value as far as I'm concerned.

No, the 4070 is 10-15% faster.

I legitimately have no idea why Nvidia would even bother releasing these things, they're a total waste of wafers and foundry time in a world where AIB's have price gouged all the other 5XXX's so high they're literally making more money than Nvidia themselves. Why in the world would Nvidia ship low end garbage in such a market environment, makes no sense whatsoever.

This will soon be most used PC card on Steam replacing 3060

People buy what they can afford. This is probably where the mass market is.

OEMs will buy tons. I know what you mean, it does on the surface look a bit silly given that the supply of the higher end models has been bad except for the 5070.

This would make sense if it was node shrink, or Blackwell was a massive architectural gain, but it's neither. There's no meaningful gains here over the existing 4000's the mass market is still happily buying. Improvements are smaller than most of the "Super" lines they released solely to boost demand and address flagging sales, which is the exact opposite of what they need right now. They have plenty of demand and willing buyers for exponentially higher margin products, but no supply. So their solution is to waste wafers and foundry time on razor thin margin objectively unappealing junk, it's pure insanity. Modern TSMC 5nm yields are excellent, they are purpose building these as 5060's, they're not failed or rejected 5070's or 5080's they saved from the trash bin.

Gotta sell their burnt to a crisp, defective pieces of trash. And the PCMR crowd will still lap it all up. Have some fucking standards, guys, please. The market won't get better until you do.

The 40 Series (except for the 4060 Laptop?) has been long out of production.
