NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Arriving Late-March with 16GB and 8GB Variants

[btarunr]

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.

Not again... The 8GB card is DOA because of the VRAM buffer and the 16GB card is DOA because of the asinine price...
This has to be an effort to upsell to the 5070...

If their having manifacturing issues with High end and Ethusiast models. How they can think about releasing a 60 series gpu with pepega pricing and 8gb model? Who ever makes this decisions doesn't know what is doing at all.

Eh, this is the only card that I was actually interested in from the entire 5000 serie to upgrade to from my 3060 Ti but looking at the prices around here I can already see the 16GB model being stupid overpriced for what it is and the 8GB model is just no.
That and the possible performance is also very questionable and tbh if it can't even match a 4070 Super then I will opt out of that idea completely and just get something else whenever I can/decide to upgrade. 'I have my budget limitations and whatnot but I'm not going lower than that..'

Exaggerations.
The card is perfect for my SVGA 1024x768 CRT monitor.

base 4070 performance is more realistic tbh. The 5070 should be around a 4070 super

4070 Super is 50% faster than 4060ti and we've already seen thanks to bigger cards that kekwell is a flop without any meaningful uplifts. There's no way 5060ti is going to match that, just save your money for another couple of years. Or cross fingers that AMD will price 9070 right.

Anyone remember the HeeHaw tv shows hillbilly donkey? That's all I can picture whenever another nvidia press release come out.

Sadly AMD is off my table cause I do use and like Nvidia's feature set in almost every game I play nowadays so yeah thats not an option for me. 'I have nothing against AMD,owned multiple GPUs from them in the past and also CPUs its just that if I already pay a lot for a new GPU where I live I want the one with the better feature set for my use case/preference..'

Yep I'm kind of expecting the same to be honest..

It's perfect for the <720p gaming it's targeted for.

I really hope AMD doesn't follow suit and make their low SKU 12GB VRAM minimum. Because 8GB is just not cutting it anymore.

 

[Am*]

Ngreedia should release their 8GB GPUs straight in the trash at $400. Half the VRAM of a 5 year old console for the same price (without the SSD storage, motherboard, CPU or PSU) and is barely 1080p capable e-waste at this point.

And memory bandwidth is completely irrelevant -- they can give it 1TB/s of VRAM bandwidth, it's still never going to be the bottleneck.

This card should be renamed from 5060 TI to 5006 TI: $500 for 6% improvement.

 

[kimbentsen]

Why even bother reporting on this as there will be no stock for a long time. Just ignore this.

Sad watching people complain when previous gen was released at 8gb that it wasn't enough but they get 16gb THEN STILL complain. Can't make some people happy no matter what you do even when you listen to what they want they find something new to yell about. How about you just not post if you are never gonna be happy or offer anything constructive to the matter.

When the first data about 170 watts for 5060 appeared, I had hope that the simple 5060 would be on the full 206 with 4600 cuda. But when this 8/16-128bit popped up, it became clear that it would be on the full 206, and the simple 5060 would either again be on the shitty 207 or a heavily cut-down 206. How sick I am of this crap 4060(ti)/5060(ti), honestly, holy mary. how shitty all this looks compared to the monolithic 3060ti. 5060ti should be on 205 and have 5000-5500 cores and 12 GB of memory with a 192-bit bus. I want to puke and walk off into the sunset.

Brother, that 16G version was a 100 dollars more expensive than the 8G one. That made it completely non-competitive in the market space it was fighting in. Complaints about that are warranted since it was just a bad value SKU. Hell, arguments could be made that this go around there shouldn’t even BE an 8G version.

It's become such a common and much discussed feature, we'd better shorten it to MROPs.

Upselling - that's it. Pay more - get more adventures with your hardware

Do not complain. Nvidia first buyers are second buyers and so on. Marketing works.


Ti suggests its something better as it is

Vram or not that card is suitable for basic tasks. When you want a gpu with dedicated graphic memory

The higher the market share of nvidia gpu,- the higher the prices?

Edit: hint there is an ignore button on user profile

This is a good advice but if everyone listens to it, TechPowerUp will power down before tomorrow morning.

 

[Dimitriman]

Yet another insult from Nvidia. "Here is that 16GB you wanted. Too bad it is useless. Too damn bad for you ."

Strongly disagree. We're spending hundreds or up to thousands of dollars on these products, we have every right as consumers to critique and demand better. Especially since the current market has the cost of GPUs being exorbitant and the 50 series in particular being rife with issues.

These companies are not entitled to our money, they have to earn it by delivering a good product. And if they don't or we don't think they are/will we should call them out on it.

Rejoice apple fans, nvidia is once again overcharging for memory.

Good luck running ray tracing on 8gb though. Not that most people care about it anyway.

Serves the fanboys right.

How much real ROP this time ?

It will be a complex number, like 40 + 8 i.
