The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was officially launched on April 16, marking its entry as the most affordable Blackwell GPU currently available. However, the launch turned out to be a "paper" release, with actual retail units scarce and often available only at a significant markup. On a brighter note, if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. A variety of prebuilt options are readily available and priced competitively. The most budget-friendly models we've come across are from Skytech, offered on Amazon, starting at an attractive $1,249.99—a compelling price for a current-generation gaming setup capable of delivering smooth performance at both 1080p and 1440p resolutions.

The RTX 5060 Ti serves as the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti, boasting a performance increase of approximately 15%-20% in gaming scenarios. This improvement surpasses the generational uplift seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value perspective, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, yet it's also well-equipped to handle 1440p gaming, particularly when utilizing DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 offers greater power, prebuilt systems featuring this GPU start at a steep $1,700-$1,800. For gamers targeting 1440p or lower resolutions, the price difference is tough to justify.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed XX60 Ti tradition, offering smooth and relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. When compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it makes a significant effort to advance native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates beyond the achievements of the 40 series.
We can confidently categorize the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 graphics cards, making it the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers looking to enjoy 1440p gaming and beyond."
