Nvidia RTX 5060 Launches: Consider Waiting

May 21,2025 Author: George

Nvidia unveiled the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti in April 2025, and now the more budget-friendly RTX 5060 is hitting the market after its announcement at Computex. Priced starting at $299, the RTX 5060 boasts 3,840 CUDA cores spread across 30 Streaming Multiprocessors, making it a solid choice for 1080p gaming. Nvidia highlights that the RTX 5060 can achieve remarkable performance at this resolution, such as reaching 223 fps in Doom: The Dark Ages at 1080p on max settings with 4x multi-frame generation enabled.

A key feature of this new generation of Nvidia graphics cards is Multi-Frame Generation, and the RTX 5060, despite being the most affordable option, fully supports this technology along with the entire DLSS 4 suite. However, with only 30 Streaming Multiprocessors, there are limits to what DLSS can achieve. Keep in mind that the $299 price is just a starting point; higher-priced models will offer additional features like factory-tuned overclocking and RGB lighting.

Reviews Are Coming... Later

While the RTX 5060 is a reasonably priced graphics card, it's wise to wait for reviews before making a purchase to ensure it meets performance expectations. Nvidia's performance claims are based on Multi-Frame Generation, and without hands-on testing, we won't know the true capabilities until it's thoroughly reviewed in the lab.

Unfortunately, reviews will be delayed as Nvidia is not providing an early driver to the press, meaning we won't see comprehensive reviews for the first week or so of the GPU's availability. The RTX 5060 is expected to be a strong contender for 1080p gaming, but the rest of the Blackwell lineup has shown inconsistent generational improvements.

There's a possibility that the RTX 5060 might see a performance increase similar to that of the RTX 5070 over its predecessor, especially in traditional gaming without frame generation. Nvidia claims the RTX 5060 can double performance with frame generation enabled, but only offers around a 20% uplift in games without ray tracing or frame generation, which is likely a best-case scenario.

As with any high-cost tech purchase, my recommendation is to hold off until reviews are available to ensure you're getting the best value for your money. Rest assured, those reviews are on their way, though they might take a few days to surface.
