NVIDIA Reportedly Narrows Down GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Launch to April 16

[T0@st]

Last week, we heard rumors about NVIDIA delaying its launches of GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 by a couple of weeks. Initially, PC hardware watchdogs anticipated a product unveiling before GTC 2025 kick-off time. Industry insiders did not fully disclose the reasons behind Team Green's revised release schedules for more "budget-friendly" GB206 GPU-based offerings, but supply chain moles posited that GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards would reach retail by mid-April. As noted by VideoCardz last Saturday, a specific date was leaked by a reliable source: wxnod.

The tenured PC hardware soothsayer reckons that NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti "will be released on April 16th at 9 pm" in 16 GB and 8 GB forms. According to VideoCardz's insider network, "briefings" regarding this alleged launch date were not yet distributed to key figures (i.e. board partners). An upcoming Wednesday rollout could be legitimate, given that Team Green and AIBs let loose GeForce RTX 5070 cards on March 5. A recent leak of GeForce RTX 5060 Ti "full specifications" indicates the laying of groundwork; leading to a potential launch in the coming weeks.

I hope this is true:

On 02.14. this chart said that 5070Ti is 2% faster than 4070TiS, 5070 is 3% slower than 4070 and 20% slower than 4070S, 5060Ti is 6% slower than 4060Ti.

Look at the core count and memory bandwidth of the 5060 Ti compared to the 4070 in TPU's DB.

The 5000 series has little to no improvement architecturally, with only a bump to memory bandwidth. It has significantly less cores, TMUs, etc compared to a 4070.

If the rest of the 5000 series is any indicator, this 5060 Ti will be 3-10% faster than the 4060 Ti. It may even carry a price increase, like the rest of the 5000 series.

The 4060 Ti wasn't really a good card to begin with either, you either got poor value at base price but with too little VRAM or you spend way too much on the 16GB version. This being a tiny bit faster 2 years later and potentially more expensive to boot makes it completely uninteresting.

Were those graphs intentional? Embargo not a thing?

It uses math to estimate

After reviews are live, I always add my performance numbers, so the algorithm has new data for unreleased products, and the estimates will change

5070=4070Ti according to reviews. 5070 has 20% less cores and TMUs, same ROPs and 33% higher bandwidth.
5060Ti has 22% less cores/TMUs, 25% less ROPs and 12% less bandwidth. I was hoping we could OC the core/memory high like on the rest of 5000 series and be very close to 4070.
I would like a 16GB card, but 5070Ti is like $1500 after taxes, 5070 is only $850. 4060Ti performance is only good if you're stuck with RX580 or GTX1070.

You might want to consider AMD this gen. At this price bracket Nvidia is not going to give you good performance and a good VRAM allowance at a decent price.

I did think about AMD, but not sure what model to get. For 5070 I would either get the MSI Gaming Trio OC+ or Asus TUF. Sapphire would be my pick, but I need 3 DP ports, XFX is loud(not sure if Magnetic Air fans are quieter), Powercolor had too much coil whine on RX7900, there's no MSI, Gigabyte fans are bad, Asus uses Super Alloy Power II coils.

Not to mention that AMD is meh in the main game I play, I can get 2.5 used RTX3080 for the price of one RX9070XT.

3 DisplayPort is pretty common on 9070 XT / 9070s: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=rx+9070&N=601412958 100007709

Here's a chart showing the temps and Db of various models:

Coil whine is going to be a lottery no matter which you pick. Super Alloy power coils are just marketing fluff, all brands have coil whine complaints at about the same rate.

3 DP is common, but not on Sapphire cards, Gigabyte Aorus Elite has only two and AMD driver can't handle two HDMI high refresh rate monitors(Intermittent system or application crash with multiple high refresh rate (+120Hz) HDMI monitors). The XFX Swift gets loud around 1000rpm and that 1589rpm in the chart is way too loud, like I paid $200 for silent case fans just to hear the gpu fans and those memory temps...

Plenty of other models to choose from: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007709 601412958&d=rx+9070&isdeptsrh=1

AMD driver can't handle two HDMI high refresh rate monitors(Intermittent system or application crash with multiple high refresh rate (+120Hz) HDMI monitors).

They definitely can handle two high refresh rate HDMI monitors without issue.

You have can:
1) Purchase any of the quieter models, as there are plenty. That XFX model is the exception, not the rule
2) Adjust the fan curve, easy to do and built right into the drivers.

Ah, ok.

 

[Knight47]

Not with the WHQL driver, but the beta

2) Adjust the fan curve, easy to do and built right into the drivers.

So since it loud at 1000rpm, should I lock the rpm at 900 and let the card cook itself? Great advice mate.

No, you've been able to run two high refresh rate monitors on AMD for a long long time without issue.

So since it loud at 1000rpm, should I lock the rpm at 900 and let the card cook itself? Great advice mate.

Did you read the provided chart? The rated Db is at 1,589 , not 1,000. You are saying it's loud at 1,000 RPM, please provide your source for this information.

Mind you, I very much doubt the card would cook itself given the very low temps. All of those cards have room to lower the RPM to improve accustical performance (although the XFX is the only one where there would be any benefit given most of them are already below most room's ambient noise levels).

Of course, you could always just buy any other model. You are cherry-picking the worst model out of the chart sound wise. The rest of them are sitting around 27 Db under max load.

You say you are open to AMD but you are explicitly going out of your way to make a bad faith argument based on nonsense or ignoring obvious facts.

 

[k0vasz]

This card makes sense only if you either have a VERY old card (like, an 1060 or older), or you're building a new rig from scratch and you aim for 1080p. And only if you're not willing to buy a second hand card.

It's a shame after a great card like the 3060ti. It's probably faster like what? 20%? after two gens?
