Nvidia Set to Launch High-Performance RTX 5060 Series GPUs Amid Scarcity Concerns
March 24, 2025
The RTX 5060 Ti will require a power supply of 150W from an eight-pin PCIe connector and 30W from the motherboard, impacting compatibility with existing setups.
There are concerns that the new GPUs may sell out quickly, as previous launches have demonstrated a high demand that could lead to market scarcity.
Rumors suggest Nvidia has encountered production issues with GPU chips, which may have contributed to delays in the launch.
Nvidia's delay in releasing the new models may allow the company to build adequate stock, avoiding the issues seen with previous RTX 5000 series launches.
Interestingly, Nvidia plans to lift review and sales embargoes simultaneously at 3:00 PM German time on the launch date, which is a departure from their usual practice.
The RTX 5060 Ti boasts a memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s, significantly higher than the RTX 4060 Ti's 288 GB/s, suggesting enhanced performance.
Nvidia is gearing up to launch its new RTX 5060 series GPUs, including the RTX 5060 Ti models with 16GB and 8GB memory, on April 15, 2025.
Overall, there is optimism surrounding the performance of the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060, with the latter being regarded as a potentially strong contender in the mainstream market.
Both the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 are expected to utilize the GB206 GPU, with the Ti version featuring 4608 shader cores compared to the standard model's 3840 cores.
Despite Nvidia's MSRP guidelines, historical trends show that partners often ignore these prices, creating potential stock and pricing challenges.
The new GPUs aim to target budget-conscious consumers, positioning themselves against AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT.
Pricing for the RTX 5060 Ti is expected to range from $349 to $449, making it competitively priced against AMD's offerings.
