The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was officially launched on April 16, marking its entry as the most affordable Blackwell GPU available. However, the launch was somewhat disappointing, as the cards were scarce and often only available with a significant markup, turning it into what many refer to as a "paper" launch. On a brighter note, if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There are numerous options available, and they come at reasonable prices. The most budget-friendly options we've spotted are from Skytech, available on Amazon, starting at an attractive $1,249.99. This makes for a compelling choice for those seeking a solid 1080p or 1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti steps up from the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a performance boost of approximately 15% to 20% in games. This improvement is more significant than the leap from the RTX 4070 to the RTX 5070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, while also being more than capable of running games at 1440p, especially when enhanced with DLSS 4. Although the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems equipped with it start at a much higher price point of $1,700 to $1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more appealing option for those targeting 1440p or lower resolutions.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed tradition of the XX60 Ti series, delivering smooth and relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it offers a more substantial improvement in native resolution framerates before DLSS comes into play, a notable advancement from the previous 40 series.
Thus, we can confidently rank the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the standout RTX 50 series graphics cards, positioning it as the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
