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 “very substantial upgrade for gamers everywhere” and the “60 Series has always been our most popular GPUs in the GeForce lineup”.

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 45–100-watt target graphics power (TGP). Several of these laptops may debut at Computex 2025.

GPU giant NVIDIA recently lifted the veil on their next-gen graphics cards — the highly anticipated GeForce RTX 50 series, codenamed “Beast”. Slated to launch in 2025, this new lineup represents a giant leap for NVIDIA’s offerings and promises to shake up the world of high-performance computing.

At the heart of the RTX 50 series is NVIDIA’s next-gen Blackwell architecture, which makes a clean break from Ampere. Blackwell chips are expected to utilize an advanced 5nm or even 3nm process for immense efficiency gains. Leaks point to gargantuan 60+ TFLOP count on flagship models — a big jump over existing GPUs.

New rendering technologies will also debut to push the boundaries of graphics fidelity. Ray tracing and AI-powered tools will reach new heights to enable movie-quality assets in real-time. DLSS 3 is another exciting upgrade that can boost frame rates dramatically.

RTX 50 series performance and release date leaks indicate a 2024 launch and generational gain behind RTX 40

The most recent performance and release date leak for the RTX 50 Series from Moore’s Law Is Dead indicates that NVIDIA may introduce the next GPU architecture as early as Q4 2024, but with a performance boost that isn’t as noteworthy as what the RTX 40 series offered in terms of pure rasterization over the RTX 30.

When it comes to the top-tier RTX 5090 board with the GB202 GPU, NVIDIA’s next GPU architecture, codenamed “Blackwell,” is said to provide up to a 2.6x performance boost over RTX 40 Ada cards. One possible explanation for the uplift might be a higher SM count of 192. Now that the SM count has been confirmed, RedGamingTech has reviewed the RTX 5090 specs. Moore’s Law Is Dead also claims to have information on the release date and performance of the RTX 50.

Performance and release date for the RTX 50 series

Let’s start with MLID’s revelation. According to one of the leaker’s NVIDIA sources, Team Green is getting ready to release the RTX 50 Blackwell cards in Q4 2024, if the firm decides it’s time. Sales of the RTX 40 and how well-positioned RDNA 4 seems to be for the holidays are reportedly taken into consideration by NVIDIA when preparing the early launch scenario. NVIDIA is “planning to make a big deal about RTX 5000 efficiency at CES 2025,” the insider adds.

The rasterization boost of the RTX 50 won’t be “as impressive as Ampere to Ada” in terms of performance, according to MLID’s source. In our testing, they found that in the 3DMark Time Spy Graphics benchmark, the RTX 4090 outperforms the RTX 3090 by an average of 1.9x. With that in mind, the performance of the RTX 5090 may not even come close to the 2.6x that have been hearing about.

Paradoxically, according to MLID’s source, NVIDIA can make the RTX 5090 performance boost “feel” comparable in case circumstances warrant it, given that the RTX 4090 “was cut down by more than 10%.”

The specs of the RTX 5090

Red Gaming Tech has provided us with the RTX 5090 specs in addition to information on the RTX 50 Series performance and release date. Sadly, none of the leaker’s information is very novel since they already know the majority of the hardware specifications he discusses.

First off, 192 SMs, 36 GB of 36 Gbps RAM, and a 384-bit bus are all suggested by RGT for the RTX 5090 (GB202). A monolithic die made using the TSMC N3E process is another suggestion made by the leaker.

Lastly, RGT asserts that the 96 MB of L2 cache that has been reported may not be accurate.

To make the long tale short, the RTX 50 Series class of GPUs did not equivalent the substantial boost they saw during the RTX 40 series when it comes to performance, and it might ship late in 2025 or early next year. However, the information is unofficial and subject to change, as is often the case with leaks of this kind.
