NVIDIA has officially unveiled the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, the first card in its 60-class RTX 50 GPU family based on the Blackwell architecture. Designed to bring next-generation features like DLSS 4, Multi Frame Generation, and enhanced ray tracing capabilities to a wider audience, the RTX 5060 Ti aims to be the go-to upgrade for gamers still on older GPUs like the RTX 2060 or GTX 1660. This marks the beginning of the rollout for the RTX 5060 series, with the RTX 5060 Ti becoming available from April 16th, followed by the base RTX 5060 model and laptop variants in May.
NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti – The GPU for the masses
The RTX 5060 Ti brings the Blackwell GPU architecture’s advanced capabilities to the mid-range market. Built with 4th generation Ray Tracing Cores and 5th generation Tensor Cores, the RTX 5060 Ti claims to deliver significant gains in both fidelity and performance, especially in games that support DLSS 4.
Two configurations of the card are launching—an 8GB GDDR7 variant priced at $379, and a 16GB version at $429. Both use a 128-bit memory interface and come equipped with 4608 CUDA cores, operating at a base clock of 2.41 GHz and boosting up to 2.57 GHz.
Factory-overclocked and standard models will be available from board partners including ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, ZOTAC, Palit, INNO3D, and PNY.
DLSS 4 and Neural Rendering Take Centre Stage
Central to the RTX 5060 Ti is NVIDIA’s new DLSS 4 technology, which combines a transformer-based AI model with new rendering techniques like Multi Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction, and DLSS Super Resolution. These neural rendering features can multiply frame rates by up to 8x compared to traditional rendering.
In games like Hogwarts Legacy, users can expect improved image clarity, enhanced motion stability, and reduced input latency thanks to NVIDIA Reflex, which is now available in over 130 games. The card is said to offer double the frame rates when Multi Frame Generation is switched on compared to the RTX 4060 Ti in supported titles, while also cutting down latency to deliver a smoother and more responsive experience. Unfortunately, raster performance might not have improved significantly compared to the previous generation.
Even in titles that don’t yet support Multi Frame Generation, the card supposedly delivers performance gains of around 20% compared to the previous generation, particularly in graphically intensive games such as A Plague Tale: Requiem and Delta Force.
RTX 5060 Ti Specifications
NVIDIA claims that there are over 50 million GeForce gamers still using older 60-class and 50-class GPUs. For these users, the RTX 5060 Ti offers an appealing jump not only in raw performance but also in feature set. DLSS 4, real-time ray tracing, AV1 encode/decode, and faster video rendering make it an all-round upgrade not just for gaming but also for content creation and streaming.
The card supports both NVIDIA’s Game Ready and Studio Drivers, giving users flexibility depending on whether their focus is gaming or creative workflows.

Availability and Variants
The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will be available globally starting April 16th. Custom designs from NVIDIA’s add-in board partners will vary in size, cooling solution, and factory overclocking, offering a range of SKUs to match different builds and budgets.
The 16GB variant is expected to appeal to those who play at higher resolutions or with larger texture packs and mods, while the 8GB option will likely be sufficient for 1080p and entry-level 1440p gaming.
RTX 5060 and Laptop Models
Following the RTX 5060 Ti, NVIDIA will launch the base RTX 5060 desktop GPU in May, starting at $299. Featuring 3840 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR7 memory, it shares the same DLSS 4 and Blackwell core technologies as its Ti sibling. NVIDIA promises 100+ FPS at 1080p with ray tracing in major titles and even greater benefits in eSports games.
Simultaneously, GeForce RTX 5060 laptops will debut at prices starting from $1099. These models promise over 2x the performance of their predecessors, pushing 100 FPS in ray-traced titles and over 300 FPS in competitive games. Thanks to Max-Q optimisations, laptops with the RTX 5060 will be available in ultra-thin designs, as slim as 14.9mm.
