Based on the most recent whispers, NVIDIA has just informed AIBs that they plan to announce the GeForce RTX 5060 series next week. Specifically, we are hearing about March 13, so a week from now. We do not know if this is a firm date, but it has been communicated with board partners this week. Additionally, we have a rumor from MEGAsizeGPU, who says that the announcement should take place within 10 days.

Also, If this rumor holds true, we may see an RTX 50 card that could cost eight times less than the RTX 5090 (crazy to write this). The rumor is that NVIDIA is reportedly working on a GeForce RTX 5050 model, which surprisingly is a desktop card, not the mobile SKU that we have already confirmed.

These are the ones I'm aiming for, really hope for a 16gb version like the 4060ti. While 12gbs is enough for 1080p gaming. I'll need the extra vram since I'll be getting mods and modding for Elder Scrolls VI when it comes. And 16gb vram would make me feel more safe with GTA VI and Witcher 4 too plus the legendary Fallout 5 when it comes.

Currently still on a GTX 1070 8fb vram from over 8 years ago cause no card was worth it from a performance and price ratio, at least no game were good enough for me to want to get a new PC for. Even the low end cards should really be at least 16gb these days since it's over 8 years later.

 

[Luipadre]

lmao how about you make your current cards available first at a reasonable price. Who needs all these trash cards

 

[MadchesterManc]

Honestly looking forward to actual retail pricing on these out of morbid curiosity

 

[FingerBang]

I honestly don't even know what to expect from these cards. Same performance as 4 years ago for $50 less?

 

[newtypepilot]

do they come with all the ROPs though?

 

[Guilty_AI]

Those are the most popular cards among pc players. On steam hardware survey, the top three are all occupied by 60s.

 

[GHG]

Funny, based on the performance of the other 50 series cards I thought they already released.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Any 5050's with a 12vhpwr connector available?

Yup the gtx 1060 was the most used card from the majority for a very long time before being replaced by rtx 3060 as the most used cards by gamers even now. Most people are still on 1080p from a quick google search even in 2025, it'll still be a few years before 1440p become the most used and a very long time before 4k becomes the most common ones. If cards and pc parts were better in their price to performance ratio than more people would have went beyond 1080p but sadly this timeline isn't it.

Bro TES6 is at least 5 years away, same with Witcher 4 lol

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

I hope Elder Scrolls VI is around 2 years away with a showcase this year or next year. Witcher 4 seems like it could be 2 to 3 years away. In a ideal reality we would have gotten Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 by now with Starfield never existing. It's been 14 years and 9 years since Elder Scrolls V and Fallout 4 were out.

Man they literally just started working on it after finishing starfield, it's gonna be a while. Same for witcher, they literally just started working with UE5, shit is years away

I’m still rocking a 1060, but my monitor is now a 21:9 1440p son 12GB is a minimum. But seeing the price of the 9070 I think I’ll pass on upgrading my PC. I’ll wait until the world isn’t a shit show or I’ll buy a Mac Mini.

 

[lh032]

probably another trash cards with "premium" price.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm sorry, were the existing cards not shit enough?

 

[Gp1]

My 1060 is ready to be retired. Bring it on.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I can't even keep up with all these numbers for years honestly. It's like looking at some webpage in Chinese for me at this point.

 

[Haint]

Total waste of wafers given their inventory levels. Same node and Blackwell's nearly nonexistent architectural improvement means these will just be rebadged 40-series in performance for the same msrp, but significantly more expensive street price.

 

[Senua]

It's really easy to follow, you just have to care lol

 

[damidu]

let me guess
"4080 Performance at $499"

 

[Esppiral]

With the compute power of the Xbox 360?

 

[RagnarokIV]

3060ti was genuinely good. Since then it’s been wankers paradise for the lower cards, they are gimped trash and not worth it.

 

[Landr300]

Doesn't matter if the witcher 4 and TES 6 are years way, there won't be better cards than this for it's price point, Moore law is dead and buried, they'll have the work within the range of power of those gpus or will be a failure

 

[NeonDelta]

let me guess
"4080 Performance at $499"

And sold for $650

Why buy this piece of shit excuse for a GPU when you have drastically better options from AMD. The 9070 and 7800XT will (likely) obliterate in performance and be heaped.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Nvidia has made the 60 series of GPUs worthless and it’s quite tragic.

There is really no good reason to buy this piece of crap for $400 when AMD GPUS just obliterate them in value the 7800XT is still readily available

 

[lachesis]

We are already something like 25% of full die for 5070. 5060 is like maybe in high teens, and 5050 maybe in tweens..
Honestly, not expecting much - and hope they will tank big time. I want Intel and AMD to do well on low to mid range this gen... but Nvidia has good grip on these markets for productivity purposes too, as people use computers other than gaming so I think they will do well no matter what they put out.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Yeah price performance ratio has gone to shit after the gtx 1000 series. I paid around 300 something for the GTX 1070 8gb. For around the same price now at most it'll only be a RTX 3060 12gb which while being better is definitely not a lot better. I expected 5070 power for around the same price as what I pay for. Sure price increases overtime but again it's been almost a decade so it doesn't make sense to have a card that's only twice as good at most and in most cases isn't even twice as good as the gtx 1070 for around the same price.

I'll eventually have to crave in a get a new PC when Elder Scrolls VI comes or once my PC stops working which can happen any day now since it's over 8 years, surprised my 1TB HDD and liquid cooler still works lol. I'm just glad I'm perfectly fine with games being around 60 fps at most and 1080p so I won't need the most expensive which means I won't be getting ripped off as much even if I still am. I'm just hoping the 5060 TI or 6060 ti depending on when my PC breaks will at least be way better and at a price that isn't too expensive and will have at least 16gb of vram.

There will be plenty of better cards for its price…namely the 7800XT which can still be found.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

I have never used any AMD CPUs or GPUs. My Intel I7 5820k and GTX 1070 have lasted me over 8 years and is still working even right now. If AMD products can also last this long without breaking than I'll consider looking into them. I'm not someone that upgrades every year or every few years. I want something that could last for a very very long time.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

The only area where a 60 series has ANY value is if someone wants to build a tiny ass PC and needs the SFF version.

That’s literally the only reason to get a 60 series GPU. There are just so much better options available.

Don’t let Jensen control you.

 

[64gigabyteram]

they won't be at the same price bracket though. 9070 is 550 (if you can even find it at that price), 60 cards have gone historically for 400.

Sure it will perform better but it's not the same tier.

 

[Landr300]

Where? In the Newegg and amazon are out of stock, the cheapest is more than 600$

And i doubt that AMD will launch a much better 60s than they already have

 

[StereoVsn]

Yep, a 16GB 4060 Ti will basically have same performance.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Yup if the 5060/5060ti has 16gb of vram and is way stronger than my gtx 1070 card and could easily handle every future games including big ones like GTA VI, Witcher 4 maxed out and Elder Scrolls VI modded than I'll just get it since it'll just stick with that since it'll be cheaper and requires less watts around the range of my current gpu cause the 9070 AMD card would be 300 watts and 150 dollars more expensive if the 5060 ti does turn out to be 400. There's also other things like could the 9070 last for a very long time without breaking talking like over 7, 8 years etc cause the gtx 1070 did.

Nvidia haven't been doing a good job either even if we don't count their crazy price increases. Cause the 5070 draws 250 watts while the 4070 is at 200 watts so their cards isn't even more efficent. Back in the day the 1070 draw less watts than the 970 while drawing less watts at the same time.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

RTX5050 4GB Vram incoming

Then you definitely don’t want this. But you do you.

Sure it will perform better but it's not the same tier.

7800XTs can be regularly found at $450 (even $400). At this exact moment it’s tough since everything good is sold out.

It will be the 8GB model that is $400.

The 16GB model will be hilarious at $500

60 historically gone for less than 300$, they only start to go for higher than that when the rx 5000 and rtx 2000 launched

 

[asdasdasdbb]

At this exact moment it’s tough since everything good is sold out.

Have to figure the remaining supply will be gone soon. Looks like the last 7800 XT at Newegg was going for $550.

 

[kiphalfton]

lmao how about you make your current cards available first at a reasonable price. Who needs all these trash cards

5050 = $400

 

[YCoCg]

HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?



...in specs of course, not price!

 

[Zacfoldor]

Me finally figuring out what the scalper stole off my 10,000 dollar ebay 5090:

 

[spons]

Low-end NVIDIA is the dumbest shit ever, and people buy those en masse.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Low-end NVIDIA is the dumbest shit ever, and people buy those en masse.

4060 is the most popular card in the Steam survey

 

[nkarafo]

You will either have to spend $400 for a DOA 8GB card, or $500 for a "60" series card which in reality is just a rebranded "50".

Both hilariously bad value, just like the 4060 card but worse because it's 1 year later.

 

[Buggy Loop]

You sure about those ROPs now?

 

[N0S]

You sure about those ROPs now?

Im sure you get robbed

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

9060 and 9060XT about to eat those cards alive

 

[TheKratos]

Bitch fix your 5090 stock first damn.
