NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB GPU Benchmarks & Specs Leak: Up To 14% Faster Than 4060 Ti

Yeah, this is more of a refresh. Its the same node with more power and and another DLSS feature locked to it. IPC barely budged, if at all. You get up 15% uplift per SKU, if you're lucky. And up to 30% if you have deep pockets.
I'm more annoyed because for the actual GPU, 4/5nm is quite a mature process now and it is cheaper to manufacture now than Ada chips, from a few years ago.
And Nvidia still being cunts with their asinine marketing and prices. The only real cost given to increase is GDDR7 modules - which tbf wouldn't be much more than GDDR6X.
Going to sound like copium but I really hope AMD lights a fire under their arse with UDNA. They sort of already have with RDNA 4.

Yeah for Witcher 4 and Elder Scrolls VI
I think 5060 ti 16gb for 1080p
5070ti for 1440p
5090 for 4k
Hopefully decently modded version of Elder Scrolls VI too.

No more 8GB VRAM cards please.

Hmm...If your GPU is 12GB then that's the 3060 12GB version.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB Specs
NVIDIA GA106, 1777 MHz, 3584 Cores, 112 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 12288 MB GDDR6, 1875 MHz, 192 bitwww.techpowerup.com
The 3060ti is 8GB only, it's basically a crippled 3070. The 3060ti is 28% faster than the 3060 but again it only has 8GB of VRAM which may limit it in some games at some settings.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Specs
NVIDIA GA104, 1665 MHz, 4864 Cores, 152 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 8192 MB GDDR6, 1750 MHz, 256 bitwww.techpowerup.com
290 euros is a lot for either. I personally would have bought a 4060 for that amount but those aren't available anymore and the 5060 will come out in 2 months or so. The 5060ti will be out this month, rumors say it'll be $380 or so for the 8GB version and $430 for the 16GB version. 3060ti is 28% faster than the 3060, the 4060ti is 11% faster than the 3060ti and I personally expect the 5060ti to be close to 20% faster than the 4060ti but time will tell. The 5060 will be 8GB and will cost between $299 and $349, no idea about performance.
As for whether you should return it? Ideally you'd want the newer card but in this case It depends, do you have something else you can game on while you wait? I bet the 5060ti will have more demand than stock for a few months so there will probably be a limited amount at MSRP, meaning an easy $100 to $200 boost to price for some SKUs. If you can snag 1 at launch for reasonable price then yea but there's no way to guarantee that or even know whether there will be enough stock at launch. So if you don't have anywhere else to game while you wait you may have to keep it.
I skipped the 4060 because it has worse performance at 4k, and the TI models demand a psu higher than 550w. That's also why I didn't picked the Intel battle mage. I don't want to upgrade my PSU.
But I don't understand, the news says the 5060 is dit to launch this week , but you say it will take 2 months?

I wonder what the pricing is going to be for the 16GB model? iirc the 4060 Ti 16GB was $500. If the $429 rumor is accurate that would be a pretty decent card, especially given that 8GB is obsolete and 12GB is cutting it close.

The RTX 4060 TI 16GB went down to around 430 dollars around a year ago which still wasn't that great so I guess a RTX 5060 TI 16Gb being at the same price would be a tiny bit better even with 14% since it's still a increase even if it's not much.
This is assuming the whole tariff crap goes away cause right now the tariff turned the 430 dollar 4060 TI 16gb from 430 dollar a year ago to like 600 to 700 dollar right now at least on Amazon.

$500 msrp vs $430 with a 15% increase in performance is good these days.
I disagree on your tariff take. Nvidia did that by ceasing production of Ada late last year and paper launching Blackwell. Shifted the whole 12GB+ stack upwards in price. I was watching 4080 and 4080 Super used go for $1300 back in early February. Watched 9070 XT $600 models go straight from retail to Ebay for $1000+ at launch. I had a 4060 Ti 16GB I was looking to sell if I could get a 5070 Ti or 9070 XT at launch and I saw Ebay auctions for it go for $600-700 in February. Way before tariffs were a thing. 4060 8GB was relatively scalper proof because of the 8GB VRAM.

Nvidia hasn't done a full announcement yet so all we have are leaks. The 5060ti is going to be announced very soon and launch on 16th of this month. The 5060 comes later in may but we don't know the date.
The 5060ti leaks are pretty accurate because they come from Nvidia business partners so we definitely should know by Wednesday. I believe the announcement is a day earlier so Tuesday but we'll see.

We all wish to have 20$ lower msrp and 2x vram jump like with 2060 to 3060, even with measly 16% performance jump- 3060 was actually very solid deal.For xx60 series we have low jumps for years now.
Getting same deal now for comparision would be: base 4060 at 299$ msrp to base 5060 at 279msrp and 16gigs of vram with raw raster around 6700xt/6750xt can tell card would be an instant hit sales wise, basically 3060 succesor so by end of the year top of steamsurvey % gpu
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Specs
NVIDIA AD107, 2460 MHz, 3072 Cores, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 8192 MB GDDR6, 2125 MHz, 128 bit
Thats how current lowend gpu market looks like- its nasty and pricy:
6700xt that has 12gigs of vram, worse performance and way worse rt/ai upscaling capabilities is currently priced at 430 fricken usd cheapest model- faster in raster/much faster in rt/better ai upscaling and 16gigs of vram 5060 at 280usd would be fricken ppl's champion right now

Bold of you to think $430 is the Real MSRP. It is NV after all.

Yeah, 3060 12GB looks great in retrospect - what is more funny is that 3060ti that is much stronger GPU launched with 8GB...
This is great video that shows that even 1080p medium might be too much for 8GB version of 5060ti in some games:

Sometime ago 60 series were beating or very close to previous 80 series.

Does anyone remember back in 2004 when the mid range, 6600 GT was either around the same power or close to the power of the previous gen's top of the line FX5900? For just 199 USD? Only a year later?
Back when we saw generational improvements quickly, and cheaply. Now it's a 2 year wait for just 16% more performance of the same range.

I'm currently playing Resident Evil 4 Remake using a 3060 12GB.
I'm playing @1080p/60fps, mostly max settings but without RT features and hair physics. And the high textures (4GB) option.
According to RTSS, even with this resolution it always consumes more than 8GB. It never goes below 8.5GB and in some rare instances it breaks 10GB.
This would be unplayable on the 5060 8GB. So despite being a much more powerful card, i would have to turn down the settings to fit in the tiny amount of VRAM. I remember having to deal with this when i had a GTX 960 2GB. The card had the horsepower of running most PS4 era games easily at better settings, but most of the time i had to dial them back because it couldn't fit into the 2GB limit.
This is such a waste of a GPU. Completely stupid design. I can't believe people will buy this.

Current 60 series is just 30 or 50 series in disguise.Sometime ago 60 series were beating or very close to previous 80 series.
