As Nvidia continues to broaden its GPU lineup, the momentum shows no signs of slowing. The company has officially announced the RTX 5060 family, which includes two variants of the RTX 5060 Ti, starting at $379. In addition to these desktop GPUs, a range of laptops powered by the new 5060 series will soon be hitting the market. Let’s dive into the details.
Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti Desktop Lineup Boasts DLSS 4 Performance Gains
The Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti is the latest addition to the company’s desktop GPU lineup, designed to meet the demands of both mid- and high-end gamers. Featuring 4,608 CUDA cores and a 180W TDP, the card is built on the new RTX Blackwell architecture specifically optimized for neural rendering. It also supports Nvidia’s next-gen DLSS 4 Frame Generation technology.
DLSS 4 blends super resolution with multi-frame generation and is powered by advanced transformer models. Nvidia claims the RTX 5060 Ti more than doubles frame rates compared to its predecessor, the RTX 3060 Ti.
In practical gaming scenarios, the company reports that titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, and Hogwarts Legacy easily surpass 100 FPS at max settings and 1440p resolution with DLSS enabled. Latency sees a major improvement too, dropping from 176ms on the 3060 Ti to just 81ms on the 5060 Ti in fully ray-traced environments.
You can expect this level of performance in titles like Marvel Rivals as well, thanks to ultra-low latency powered by NVIDIA Reflex.
With DLSS 4, the RTX 5060 delivers better-than-native image quality, significantly improved performance, and reduced latency. In DLSS 4 Quality Mode, the RTX 5060 Ti can achieve up to 171 FPS with just 47ms of latency—surpassing the RTX 4060 Ti and leaving the 3060 Ti far behind.
Next-Gen AI and Encoding Capabilities
The Blackwell architecture powering the RTX 5060 Ti introduces 5th-gen Tensor Cores, capable of delivering up to 759 AI TOPS of performance. This enables support for advanced AI workflows, real-time graphics enhancements, and a range of creative production tools.
Complementing this is the upgraded GDDR7 memory and the 9th-gen NVENC encoder, which ensure smooth performance in demanding tasks such as high-resolution video rendering and live streaming.
Nvidia RTX 5060 Desktop Incoming
In addition to the RTX 5060 Ti, Nvidia has officially confirmed the launch of the standard RTX 5060 desktop GPU. Built on the same Blackwell architecture and equipped with DLSS 4 support, the RTX 5060 aims to deliver high performance at a more accessible price point.
While full specifications are still under wraps, the RTX 5060 is expected to provide excellent 1080p and entry-level 1440p gaming performance making it an ideal choice for mainstream gamers. With DLSS 4 and Nvidia Reflex onboard, players can look forward to smooth, low-latency gameplay even in 2025’s most demanding titles.
Set to launch in May 2025, the RTX 5060 will feature 8GB of GDDR7 memory and carry an aggressive $299 price tag. With its next-gen capabilities and competitive pricing, it’s shaping up to be a go-to option for gamers seeking top-tier performance without breaking the bank.
Nvidia RTX 5060-Powered Laptops Also Arrive Soon
Alongside the RTX 5060 Ti, Nvidia has also introduced RTX 5060-powered laptops, set to be released by major OEMs including ASUS, HP, Dell, and MSI.
These new laptops promise impressive performance delivering up to 144 FPS at ultra settings all while maintaining sleek, portable designs as thin as 14.9mm. Designed to meet the needs of both gamers and content creators, they strike a balance between power and portability. Nvidia has announced that these laptops will start at a price of $1,099.
Price and Availability
Nvidia has announced that the RTX 5060 Ti will officially launch tomorrow, with two variants available: an 8GB model priced at $379 and a 16GB version at $429. The standalone GeForce RTX 5060 is set to launch in May 2025, starting at $299.
