NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Arriving Late-March with 16GB and 8GB Variants
NVIDIA is preparing a late-March 2025 launch of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti following its early-March RTX 5070 launch. The card will reportedly come with 16 GB and 8 GB memory variants, much like its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti, with the 16 GB variant launching late-March, and the 8 GB variant in April. A Wccftech report sheds light on a few interesting specs of the RTX 5060 Ti. Apparently, the card comes with a total graphics power (TGP) of 180 W, which should make it possible for partners to sell cards with single 8-pin PCIe power connectors. NVIDIA is looking to target the $400 to $500 price segment with the RTX 5060 Ti series, but a lot will depend on how AMD addresses this space with its lean new "Navi 48" silicon that could probably be cut down to create SKUs that square off against the RTX 5060 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, much like the RTX 4060 Ti, will come with a 128-bit wide memory bus, however, NVIDIA will give the GPU a massive upgrade in bandwidth with 28 Gbps GDDR7, giving it 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is a 55% increase over the 288 GB/s that the RTX 4060 Ti has. The GB205 (or GB206?) GPU that the RTX 5060 Ti is based on could implement PCI-Express 5.0, which means that should NVIDIA opt for an 8-lane PCIe host interface to save board costs, the GPU could still enjoy bandwidth comparable to PCI-Express 4.0 x16 on systems with Gen 5 PCIe.

Then when you compared the 3060Ti to them, the 3060Ti was only about 5-10% behind them in performance and you could buy a 3060Ti cheaper than either of the 4060Ti models. Face it, the 4060Ti models were a flop in comparison to the previous gen....they couldn't even give the same performance a 3070 had.
Based on the current record of the 5xxx models I wouldn't expect to see much improvement from the 4060Ti to the 5060Ti, expect maybe higher pricing.
I did finish Cyberpunk on Ultra+Ultra RT+DLSS Quality on my 3060 Ti and it was perfectly playable/enjoyable for me on my 2560x1080 res 21:9 monitor. 'I'm not sensitive to DLSS at all so I use it in every game possible'
Currently I'm also using RT in Wuthering Waves which is a fast paced/reaction combat + story driven single player gacha game and its not giving me any issues with DLSS on the max quality setting in the game. 'looks better than the crappy TAA anyway..'
Stalker 2 is also fine on High settings+DLSS Quality after its most recent update, not that I'm a fan of the game itself but the performance is enough at this resolution that I could finish the entire game on this setting if I wanted to and it wouldn't bother me at all.
And yet they both went up in price since last summer, despite good availability.
