NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti Rumored to Launch in March 2025

[GGforever]

A recently leaked slide from the Taiwanese company Chaintech has seemingly confirmed the launch dates for the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti GPUs. Previous leaks have hinted at an early Q2 launch for the mid-range gaming GPUs, in both 8 GB and 16 GB VRAM flavors. Chaintech's slide does not reveal any specifications regarding the GPUs, although we do have a pretty good idea of what the upcoming GPUs will bring to the table.

As per recent leaks, the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti are both expected to sport the GB206 GPU, paired with 8 or 16 GB of VRAM on a 128-bit bus. Despite employing the speedy new GDDR7 standard, there is no denying that 8 GB of VRAM is far from sufficient for a comfortable ray-traced gaming experience in 2025, perhaps even less so in the near future. Considering that the Arc B580 ships with 50% more VRAM, the entry-level RTX 5060 is more than likely to be hard sell for many people, unless, of course, the RTX 5060/Ti somehow pulls off impressive performance uplifts.

And after 3GB G7 chips become wide use, NV will launch 5060 Super with 12GB VRAM on 128-bit and "will live happy ever after".

 

[Legacy-ZA]

They don't even have numbers for us on how many xx90/xx80/xx70 there currently are, and they expect us to get hyped by this announcement?

 

[AusWolf]

5060 Ti with 16 GB or 5070 with 12 GB? Another slap in the face from Nvidia.

 

[tussinman]

At this rate a 5060 will probably be slower than a 2 generation old 2020 era 3070 and a $450-500 5060ti 16gb might barely go toe to toe with a 3080 if not slower

 

[Ain]

"launch" like the previous 50xx "launched"?

5060 Ti with 16 GB or 5070 with 12 GB? Another slap in the face from Nvidia.

also struggle to understand this re occurring product design decision (4060ti had 16gb and the 4070(s) as known just 12..)

 

[azrael]

So this will most likely be a xx50 class card. I wonder how they intend to position the inevitable 5050.

 

[Klemc]

60 series should not have Ti, it should be just the 90 btw, since it's the last and Ti means "more"

Are you suggesting that Nvidia should also use the numbers between 1 and 5? Blasphemy!

Right product placement:
5050 - 12GB
5060 - 16GB
5060 Ti - 16GB
5070 - 21GB
5070 Ti - 24GB
5080 - 30GB
5090 - 32GB

5030 and 5050 rebranded as 5060 and 5060 Ti with triple the price

Let's hope the consumer is enlightened enough to detect that they are being tried to be screwed and will vote with their wallets. Warning - don't buy cards which are heavily overpriced. Value your hard-earned money.

 

[bug]

Forget about VRAM, GB206 has 1/10 the hardware resources the 5090 has. I'm afraid these are going to be even weaker than 4060 was.

They can even switch to colr naming scheme idc :

Green
Blue
Red

LOL, edit: hell i just thinked about Ti, is it a shortcut for TiTan ??

 

[oxrufiioxo]

Titanium.

I'm sure the naming for the Titan was a derivative of that though.

I think Gamers Nexus mentioned with the "paperlaunch" video a few hours ago that there are certain unreleased video cards on the pallets pictures.

Low level entry cards are boring.

Low level entry cards are boring.

Yeah...I think they're e-waste myself, but I get that not everyone has a lot of money.
Why most wouldn't just buy a B580 (or used 6700xt or my long-favorite the 2080ti) for ~$250, or even a playstation for that matter (as it's still likely cheaper than these cards), I don't know.

 

[QUANTUMPHYSICS]

The lowest 5000 series cards need at least 16GB of RAM to be competitive.

Yeah, just good for 2D

If it's effective enough at 1080p it might have it's place providing it's not priced horrifically. I wonder what the RT and tensor details of it will be though given it's a cut down card.

Probably right around a stock 3080 best-case. I certainly wouldn't want to use it for RT in newer titles.

In no possible scenario do I envision these being better nor a better value than a 7800xt and/or 9070.

 

[Onyx Turbine]

A 8 GB Vram card in 2025 costing more than 250 Dollar would either be warranted when you absolutely only game low gpu intensive games so to say.
Else 10 GB Vram+ is mandatory would be the correct 8, the thing is what no one tells is that usually team green Vram holds up better compared to team Red,
that slightly save team green with 12 GB Vram card, 8 no more, but things are on the edge

Wait, what?

I feel like they have to, eventually. Too many games struggle at 8gb... sometimes even at 1080p. The ps5 has been out for 5 years now. Its time mainstream GPUs match that, and I think 12gb is a fair point to be considered a match considering the ps5s vram also has to do dram functions and system functions.
