Nvidia Launches RTX 5060 Series with Stealthy Release and Competitive Prices
  • Nvidia has officially launched its latest graphics cards, the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060, with prices set at $429 for the 16GB Ti model, $379 for the 8GB Ti model, and $299 for the 8GB RTX 5060.

  • Benchmarks reveal that the RTX 5060 can achieve nearly 150 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p using DLSS in Quality mode, marking a significant improvement over the previous RTX 4060.

  • INNO3D plans to make these new GPUs available through premium resellers globally, ensuring that both enthusiasts and developers have access to the latest technology.

  • Despite the competitive pricing of these new models, there are concerns about how long these prices will remain stable due to recent tariff issues affecting the market.

  • The announcement of these graphics cards was made via a blog post just a day before their launch, indicating a stealthy release strategy that lacks the promotional excitement of previous launches.

  • Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, stated that this new family of GPUs is set to redefine mainstream gaming by delivering exceptional performance.

  • Both the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 are powered by Nvidia's Blackwell architecture, which enhances performance and cooling efficiency through an upgraded WINDFORCE cooling system.

  • The architectural improvements in the Blackwell series promise better ray tracing and neural rendering capabilities, although the actual benefits will depend on game developers adopting these new technologies.

  • As third-party reviews are expected to emerge in the coming weeks, they will provide deeper insights into the performance capabilities of these new graphics cards.

  • Potential buyers are advised to closely monitor prices to avoid overpaying, especially as market conditions may lead to fluctuations.

  • Critics have raised concerns about Nvidia's marketing tactics, particularly regarding their claims of '2X performance,' which some believe may misrepresent the actual gaming experience.

  • There are allegations that Nvidia is restricting AIB partners from testing the 8GB variant of the RTX 5060, which may skew reviews in favor of the higher-capacity 16GB model.
