NVIDIA Sends MSRP Numbers to Partners: GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB at $379, RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB at $429
Next week's planned launch of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti series brings two SKUs differentiated by memory capacity and pricing. Both models leverage the GB206‑300 GPU, made on a 5 nm node from TSMC, and feature a 128‑bit memory interface paired with GDDR7 chips running at an effective 28 Gbps. According to IT Home, NVIDIA has communicated MSRP figures to its key AIC partners ahead of the mid‑April rollout. The entry‑level 8 GB variant is set at an MSRP of ¥3,199 (roughly $379), while the 16 GB version carries an MSRP of ¥3,599 (about $429). This is a reduction from the $399 and $499 prices anticipated earlier. NVIDIA is adjusting its pricing strategy for these mid-tier chips to align itself against the competition better and draw more new buyers.
Under the hood, the GB206‑300 core activates 36 streaming multiprocessors, delivering a total of 4,608 CUDA cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2,407 MHz, boosting to 2,572 MHz under load. Memory runs at 1,750 MHz (28 Gbps effective), routed through the 128‑bit bus to yield up to 448 GB/s of bandwidth. Graphics‑specific throughput is augmented by 144 texture mapping units and 48 render output units, while 36 dedicated ray‑tracing cores handle real‑time lighting calculations. Additionally, 144 tensor cores accelerate AI‑driven workloads such as DLSS upscaling and machine‑learning inference. Power delivery for both cards is managed via a single 16‑pin connector, with a total board power of 180 W. Display connectivity includes one HDMI 2.1b port alongside three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, and the card interfaces with host systems over PCI Express 5.0 x16.

I wonder if there's some (at least backroom) adjustments going on of ~$50 for kits there, if not across the stack. Who knows...It would make sense, though.
This is not Nvidia 'aligning', this is just Nvidia 'playing you' by leaking a rumored high price and then coming out with a lower one as the actual price.
So, really, it doesn't cost nVIDIA more than mass-produced GDDR6 (which costs something like less than $12 a 2GB chip).
So, let that be a lesson to people that thought/think it's expensive. There's your proof. I mean, obviously they wouldn't use it if it costs them more anyway (because nVIDIA are frugal), but now you KNOW.Shortened that up for ya'.
Something something ngreedia, am I doing it right?
And, again, so does W1zzard.
I think nVIDIA expected RDNA4 to be cheap, but I don't think they expected it to catch up in actual real playable settings (especially in RT), but it did.
IOW, begun, these price wars have. Grab your popcorn. I don't think people get that AMD can probably sell the 9070 for very little dollars (if they choose), and just might to totally screw nVIDIA.
Since 5070 sucks, and 9070 doesn't, potentially very much not with that bios mod, 5070 needs a cut.
Then AMD has to compete in price, but 5070 will still suck. Where it goes from there, IDK, depends on the markets' perception of AMD over the course of this gen if they lower prices more, but should be fun.
This is when we find out how much margin nVIDIA is willing to part with in the consumer space when AMD is used to lower margin and can now compete in perf/features across the board.
People don't understand these prices are only BARELY equal to relative performance of current 9070 MSRP of ~$650 (on the 8GB model, and not accounting for the fact 8GB is awful/will be a limitation).
Mark my words, by the end of this there WILL be competition with the B580....conceivably from BOTH companies...for the first time in a very long time.
Very much laughing at people calling 5060ti 16GB good value. :laugh:
(Although it's also a little sad if people think that; I hope they become better informed. :()
If you're cool with that general price, there will be a 9070 for you (eventually). Again, we know this because it's pretty obvious the low-end 3nm part will match 9070 xt (and have to be less than $400).
This is why that bios thing makes me so overjoyed.
I can already imagine people that could never afford that level of GPU doing it when 9070 is cheap (and/or used); when they would normally buy something like a 5060 Ti.
That stuff makes me so happy...the thought of (savvy) people that can't generally afford something like that actually having a really good 1440p experience is really cool....and I don't think it's *that* far away.
And people is STILL saying "hey, this time this price is good..." (where "good price" is pricing the lowest tier card like a top tier of few years ago...).
The Far Cry 3 definition of insanity.
And then over 400 for an x60-level SKU that has half of the shader count of the 5070 Ti that got released for $750 (and was still way overpriced)? Not a chance in hell.
The pricing of the Ti is right for me, let's see about performance, but I'm waiting for the general price drops and availability to increase, thanks orange man
Since those prices are theoretical and on paper only, and mostly valid only on USA, expect that the real price of those to be between 50-75% more.
Especially in Europe, Japan, Austria, etc...
The rest of the world doesn't have to care about the US tariffs.
I don't know the supply chain 100%, but I suspect these products go through the US before coming here.
To expand a little more, remember there are more in silicon to make a chip, well a GPU or CPU, there are other materials that are sourced from elsewhere etc. and so forth, which are also subject to tariffs from not only the U.S, but elsewhere.
