A solid semi -launching graphic processor for $ 429 (but good luck scored this price)

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is aimed at a very niche group of gamers. Starting with $ 379 with 8 GB VRAM, or $ 429 with 16 GB, 5060 Ti is designed for people who want something more powerful than the base $ 299 RTX 5060, but not wanting to go to the average cost of 549 RTX 5070. (And it is worth noting that the card is already going beyond this price).

From the point of view of unprocessed rendering power, this is a slight update compared to the previous RTX 4060 Ti. But thanks to the power of the DLSS 4 AI Appassing, as well as 4x personnel generations (the ability to create three inter -polished frames for everyone who is displayed), RTX 5060 Ti can reach surprisingly high FPS in 1080p and even 1440p.

During my testing of the PNY RTX 5060 Ti 16GB card, I found that in general it is a reliable artist, especially for games that can use 4x Generation. But, of course, it is unclear whether you can actually buy it for $ 429, given the already unstable nature of the graphic processors industry and additional headache in the bulky tariff plans of the Trump administration. Is it worth spending more than $ 500 or even $ 600 on RTX 5060 Ti? It is much more difficult to say.

Hardware

Now, if you are interested in why Nvidia decided to offer 16 GB of RAM in the RTX 5060 Ti, while it burden the RTX 5070 only 12 GB, I have no answers for you. This is a confusing move, and this is another sign that the RTX 5070 was just a little middleThe field is even more curious, 5060 Ti also has higher clock speeds than 5070, reaching 2.4 GHz to 2.57 GHz. 5070 is estimated from 2.16 GHz to 2.51 GHz.

Otherwise, 5060 Ti is directly below 5070: 4608 Blackwell Cuda nuclei, which can reach 24 TFLOPS, 759 AI vertices and 72 TFLOPS from the 4th generation beam. Meanwhile, 5070 has 6,144 CUDA cores for 31 TFLOPS Blackwell Shader Power, 988 Tops AI and 94 rays trace.

PNY 5060 Ti, which I tested, seemed to be a typical budget graphic processor. It is relatively small, has only two fans and has one PSU connection. You will not take this for the smooth map of the founder of NVIDIA, that's for sure.

What is good in RTX 5060 Ti (16 GB)?

For the most part, RTX 5060 Ti delivered everything that I want in the Sub- $ 500 video card. And in some cases it even exceeded my expectations.

• It offers excellent 1080p performance, especially using DLSS 4. It reached 186 frames per second per second Cyberpank 2077 In the mode of overload of rays tracing with a generation of 4x frames. But he also worked decently without DLSS, reaching 122 frames per second with the Ultra Graphics settings and without ray trace. Just do not try to add ray tracing without scale, since 5060 Ti reached only 30 frames per second RT in overload mode and 56 frames per second in RT Ultra.

• IN The halo is endlessWhich does not offer DLSS at all, it reached 156 frames per second at 1080p with maximum graphics settings and ray trace.

• The speeds of 1440p were also solid: it reached 136 frames per second per second Cyberpank The regime for overloading the tracking of a beam with the generation of 4x frames and more than 189 frames per second in a slightly less impressive RT Ultra mode.

• In 4K 5060 Ti hit 90 frames per second in Cyberpank with 4x frames generation. This is not a map that you would buy for a consistent gaming process 4K, but it is still interesting to see how it reaches 60 frames per second in such a high resolution.

• The presence of 16 GB of VRAM FUTURE-PROOFS The Card is a little, as it can engage in higher resolution textures for new games. The fact that a huge amount of memory is likely that 5060 Ti can process 4K in extreme cases.

• 5060 Ti was 25 percent faster than 4060 Ti in the control reference floor of 3DMark Speedway, as well as the Port Royal Ray trace test.

• Since it works only two fans, 5060 Ti does not make much noise at load. And this actually does not generate a lot of heat, reaching only 70 ° C at a load (and about 32 ° C during idle).

What is bad in RTX 5060 Ti (16 GB)?

In the end, 5060 Ti still remains a slightly savvy budget card, so there should be compromises.

• I would like to really trust his price of $ 429. While some happy buyers can find launching models on this figure, it will not take long before retailers begin to increase the price. And this is not even considered where everything can be in the world of tariffs after Trump.

• Oddly enough, 5060 Ti scored several hundred points lower than 4060 Ti in a blender test. This may be due to immature drivers, but it was still amazing to see. Considering that other reference results showed a decent improvement, I would not calculate 5060 Ti for all 3D -rendering software. But if you were in this area, you probably would have invested in any case much more powerful.

Should I buy RTX 5060 Ti (16 GB)?

If you are still using RTX 3060 or an older graphic processor, you will see some huge speed increase from RTX 5060 Ti. But think twice before spending more than $ 500. If the market of graphic processors stabilizes in the future, you can hook AMD Radeon RX 9070 or NVIDIA RTX 5070 for $ 549. Radeon is probably the best alternative, as it scored above 5070 in most of our tests.

Wrap

On Nvidia paper, I have done a lot with 16 GB of GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. This will be more than enough for demanding games in 1080p and 1440p, even if you are a little free from the trace of rays. But this also relies on DLSS 4, so that most of this performance, which can carefully relate to the actual power of 5060 Ti.
