NVIDIA Sends MSRP Numbers to Partners: GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB at $379, RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB at $429

It’s got that terrible power connector though?

That is not a problem for a low tdp gpus. It's actually not that great that amd are not using them.

 

[Sithaer]

Considering that both of the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 costs about $ 800+ in my country even on the second hand market these prices won't be pretty either. 'most likely its still a better idea to pick up a second hand 4070 Super if a decent one shows up..'

Nvidia worries about competition. In my opinion Nvidia worries not that AMD will gain too much market share, but that the public's opinion about AMD might start becoming more positive.

...or they are just trying to get rid of Blackwell dies because they are problematic.

 

[Krit]

but that the public's opinion about AMD might start becoming more positive.

It probably will. Bumerang is coming back.

 

[MarkoB88]

RX 9060 will prolly be better choice

 

[Legacy-ZA]

Should be okay on the 5070Ti and below, they all draw below 300W especially if you Undervolted, which anyone can easily do and still gain more performance. ^_^

 

[Chrispy_]

Oh nice, $499 would have been a stupid price for the 5060Ti 16GB.

Here's hoping that availability doesn't absolutely blow...

 

[Legacy-ZA]

It probably will. Bumerang is coming back.

Yes, I am annoyed they haven't released a new driver since the 18th of March for more stability and increased performance, probably waiting for the 5060 launch, which of course, will most likely bring up even more problems.

I want my Reflex 2.0 so I can actually use their MFG, 2x is fine though.

Oh yeah, but this is even a better watch: (Articulates very well why I call them nGreedia)

Things are more interconnected than they appear. Example, many U.S companies outsource their IP to be made elsewhere for cheaper labour, and as the cost to the U.S increases, so it will also affect other countries, it's a free-for-all at the moment, interesting times, lot's of money to be made for those that have capital and are not fearful.

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.

When you buy an RTX card, for example a Zotac - what's happening is that Nvidia in the US are paying TSMC for production, and then selling (as a US entity) to PC Partner (Zotac) in Taiwan.

Currently, silicon is exempt from tariffs, but even if there were tarrifs on US silicon purchased in Taiwan, PC Partner would only pay the reciprocal Taiwanese import tariff on the purchase of the bare GPU die itself from Nvidia, and presumably since Nvidia is selling out of a Taiwanese branch near TSMC, even that might have a workaround to avoid import tariffs since the sale is from TSMC/Nvidia in Taiwan to PC Partner in Taiwan. The bare dies aren't being shipped back to the US just to return to customers in Taiwan again!

Regardless, that import tariff of a GPU die sold from Nvidia to PC Partner is going to be a pretty small fraction of the overall graphics card BOM which is mostly Taiwanese and Chinese parts. Samsung RAM from South Korea, Chinese PCB, Surface mount components, cooling etc. Also packaging, distribution, and admin - none of that is subject to tariffs, and none of the goods from Taiwan sold to anywhere in the world except the US will suffer from US tariffs which are a blight mostly afflicting just the US population for now.

Nintendo cancelled pre orders specifically in the US.
Americans just have to deal with the consequences, don't mix everyone up there, it's not even remotely comparable in terms of consequences. The rest of the world will have more availability, more supply so prices will go down for us.

Nintendo said it wasn't due to tarriffs, but it's their loss for not selling the Switch 2 sooner, a more expensive system combined with $80-90 games they're setting themselves up for lower sales.

i understand what you are thinking, a global crisis and linked supply chain
but for me if you remove a market like the US from the equation, because they won't be buying with a 100% increase in price, and at least until companies reduce production to adjust for the low demand, we'll have in the rest of the world a excess of supply from those Americans that will no longer buy cards, so prices are more likely to go down not up

It's funny you think Americans won't pay scalper level prices for Nvidia cards when people have still been buying $800 and higher 5070Ti cards and $2000+ RTX 5080 cards. Most average Americans are living paycheck to paycheck but have no hesitation to buy luxuries with a credit card.

I have no horse in that race, I literally do not care. But upgrading my personal home rig for not a lot of cash (hopefully) so that I can run more stuff from home? Yeah, surprisingly that does matter to me.

I swear, most “enthusiasts” can’t see further than “muh gaming” in any scenario or context.

You care enough to be calling a $430 x60 card a "decent value". Just because the mid range market is f*cked up beyond any imagination of things being worse than the crypto hype doesn't mean an ngreedia card is a decent value.
Also these are gaming cards sold and marketed as gaming cards, so yes people are going to consider gaming first.

they said it was because of the tariffs, you're coping

• Nintendo said Friday that preorders for its hotly anticipated Switch 2 console would be delayed while the company considers the impact of tariffs.
• “Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions,” a Nintendo representative told CNBC.

Pre-orders were delayed in Canada as well, but every company can just blame everything on tariffs. It's incredibly stupid to not sell anything over selling now and increase prices when the products are on shelves.
On the topic it's not like the MSRP even means anything, but tech sites are going to hype up the fictional prices anyway while conveniently ignoring the driver issues. Yay fake frames and fake prices.

guy says i was wrong
i show him he was the one that was wrong
guy tells it didn't matter if he was wrong anyway, nothing matter really, we are just space dust

a normal day on the internet

 

[N3utro]

16 GB 5060 ti here i come

 

[RainingTacco]

Basically 3060ti(memory bandwidth and cuda cores amount is pretty much same)with increased core clock. This would give 20 percent performance advantage. Pretty bad considering its two generations difference.

 

[AusWolf]

everyone does it, that's not a conspiracy. I've worked in a couple of companies, and we were always planing production according to projected sales.

That's one thing. The other thing is keeping supply purposefully low relative to demand in order to keep prices high by maintaining the illusion of selling a premium product.

And that is what makes it a myth.

No, it's still the foundational force that dictates the market. Just because it can be influenced doesn't mean that it's a myth - quite the opposite.

For tasks that I am interested in? Yes, it is decent value. I wasn’t aware that my personal opinion equaled to that of an ambassador for PC DIY builders everywhere. Value is relative. I am sure there are some people for whom even a 5090 for twice the MSRP is still a decent value for what THEY do with their PCs. For gaming though? I said it previously and will say it again - there isn’t anything that is current to the market that can be described as “good value” unless one manages to cop a 9070XT at or close to MSRP. Period.

Also these are gaming cards sold and marketed as gaming cards, so yes people are going to consider gaming first.

A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.

i already explained that's not a think, they are making considerably more by selling the same product for AI, they can't do anything else, they would be sued if they did

That's the main thing. But if the side effect is what I said, then it's a win-win, right?

i don't understand. Win win? not for us, no gamer is winning.

 

[AusWolf]

No, not for us! For corporations selling GPUs.

 

[TheDeeGee]

So, $775 and $950 in the actual real world.

 

[Wirko]

No, not for us! For corporations selling GPUs.

The phrase "win-win" regularly means "we win twice, you lose".

 

[Mistral]

The "MSRP" deception continuous...

 

[dartuil]

So minimum 500 and 600 in real world.
