NVIDIA RTX 5060 Launched Today With $299 Price For Gamers
RTX 5060
Today, Nvidia introduced the desktop and laptop GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card. RTX 5060 desktops start at $299. Thus, the NVIDIA RTX 5060 is the cheapest way to receive the latest Nvidia graphics technology.
Nvidia says the RTX 5060 lets players play their favourite games at over 100 fps. The 5060 is a âvery substantial upgrade for gamers everywhereâ and the â60 Series has always been our most popular GPUs in the GeForce lineupâ.
A RTX 5060 features 3,840 CUDA cores and 8GB GDDR7 VRAM. Unlike the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti, this GPU will not have 16GB VRAM. Its faster GDDR7 memory lessens its performance impact despite its 128-bit memory interface like the RTX 4060. The RTX 5060's 3,840 cores should boost performance over the 4060's 3,072.
Nvidia provided performance data for the RTX 5060 running numerous games with maximum DLSS 4 Multi-frame Generation. Performance guarantees at 1080p Ultra:
All stated titles can run above 100 FPS on the RTX 5060 with DLSS 4, according to Nvidia. DLSS 4's multi-frame generation technology leverages the GPU's Tensor cores to analyse and generate up to three additional frames for every one displayed to enhance frame rates. Nvidia's fastest-growing video gaming technology is DLSS 4, in over 125 games and apps. DLSS can boost speed for budget-conscious users but lower visual quality and increase latency. Disable it if a reasonable frame rate can be achieved without it.
In addition to rendering, the NVIDIA RTX 5060 supports Ray Tracing and Path Tracing. Nvidia will add route tracing and DLSS to Doom: The Dark Ages in June. Path tracing improves lighting simulation, improving reflections. Doom: The Dark Ages FPS will increase sevenfold using DLSS 4 4K Path tracing.
Nvidia's RTX Remix technology recreates vintage games using these characteristics with over 100 alterations and 350 more in development. A future Portal RTX patch will use DLSS 4 and Nvidia's RTX Neural Radiance Cache. ModDB is holding a $50,000 Mod Contest.
Mobility-focused laptops featuring NVIDIA RTX 5060 CPUs are available today. Most computer manufacturers sell these laptops, starting at $1,099 suggested. Some versions will use Blackwell Max-Q and DLSS 4 to slim designs to 14.9 mm. The mobile RTX 5060 has a 45â100-watt target graphics power (TGP). Several of these laptops may debut at Computex 2025.
Nvidia expects a good supply of 5060 chips, but demand will decide availability. Previous RTX 50 series graphics cards sold out rapidly. On launch day, independent, lab-tested evaluations are unavailable. The NVIDIA RTX 5060 was not tested due to a last-minute day-one performance driver update. A "catch-22" occurs when customers wait for evaluations before buying, risking missing the first supply. Nvidia's performance promises, which largely rely on DLSS 4, should be taken with a grain of salt until independent testing confirms them.
