We could soon get our first official look at the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 in just a few weeks. A new leak is suggesting that Nvidia’s budget-friendly graphics cards will be officially announced on April 15, with 8GB and 16GB RTX 5060 Ti variants set to go on sale the next day, and a 8GB non-Ti RTX 5060 hitting shelves a few weeks later.
These new Nvidia graphics cards are unlikely to be competing with the RTX 5090 on performance. While the company hasn’t officially announced them yet, we’ll be expecting the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 to try and dominate the lower end of the GPU market. AMD is pushing back hard with stiff competition, however, and with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT already crowned the best graphics card for most gamers, Nvidia is going to need a serious success if it wants to stay ahead.
News of these new Nvidia GPUs was shared in two separate reports by Videocardz. In the first report, the site suggests that the new RTX 5060 series is set for an announcement on April 15, with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 both to feature. The RTX 5060 Ti will then reportedly go on general sale on April 16, with the RTX 5060 to follow some time in May.
Meanwhile, a second Videocardz report shares the reportedly “final” specs for the RTX 5060 Ti. According to the report, the RTX 5060 Ti will be based on the GB206-300 GPU, shipping with 4,608 CUDA cores, an increase of 256 over the RTX 4060 Ti’s 4,352 CUDA cores. The GPU will also reportedly have a 2,407MHz base clock speed that can boost up to 2,572MHz, and ship with a 180W TDP, only a modest 15W boost over the RTX 4060 Ti.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti rumored specs
| Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti | |
| GPU | GB206-300 |
| CUDA cores | 4,608 |
| Base clock | 2,407MHz |
| Boost clock | 2,572Mhz |
| VRAM | 8GB or 16GB 28Gbps GDDR7 |
| Memory interface | 128-bit |
| TDP | 180W |
It’s also suggested that the RTX 5060 Ti will ship with 8GB and 16GB VRAM options using GDDR7 memory chips, although it will reportedly use a narrower 128-bit memory bus to other RTX 50-series cards seen so far. However, it will apparently use 28Gbps memory, meaning memory bandwidth of up to 448GB/s – a 55% increase over the RTX 4060 Ti, if this turns out to be true.
However, until Nvidia officially announces this card, we won’t know for sure whether this data is accurate. Pricing, too, won’t be clear until the launch, although given that the RTX 5070 has a $549 MSRP, we’ll be expecting the Ti models to fall around $349-$449.
We’ll be eagerly awaiting the launch of these new GPUs to see how well they compete with the new AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, also rumored to be launching in April, along with the already-popular RX 9070 XT. Until then, check out our RX 9070 XT review to see why we’ve rated that AMD GPU as the best card for gamers so far.
