NVIDIA just announced its GeForce RTX 5060 family, and it’s packed with cool tech to make gaming awesome. The RTX 5060 Ti comes out tomorrow, April 16, with prices starting at $379 for the 8GB model and $429 for the 16GB version. The RTX 5060 will hit stores in May for $299 with 8GB, and laptops with RTX 5060 tech will also arrive in May, starting at $1,099. These new graphics cards and laptops use NVIDIA’s Blackwell RTX design to make games look super real, run fast, and feel smooth.
The Blackwell RTX design mixes artificial intelligence (AI) with strong graphics to create lifelike game worlds with great lighting. It’s made to handle fancy effects and AI-powered tools. The star feature is DLSS 4, which uses AI to make games sharper and clearer. In games like Hogwarts Legacy and Avowed, you’ll see crisp text, better reflections, and steady visuals, even when moving fast. It also speeds up games, so your mouse or controller reacts quicker.
DLSS 4 includes Multi Frame Generation, which adds up to three extra frames for every one your computer makes. This can make games run up to eight times faster than normal. It’s already in over 100 games, with more added every week.
For example, NVIDIA tested the RTX 5060 at 1080p with max settings and got 234 FPS in Hogwarts Legacy, 330 FPS in Marvel Rivals, and 148 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077. The RTX 5060 Ti at 1440p hit 121 FPS in Black Myth: Wukong and 156 FPS in Stalker 2.
The RTX 5060 Ti has 4,608 CUDA cores, a 2.4GHz base clock, and a 2.57GHz boost clock, using a 128-bit memory bus with fast GDDR7 memory. It needs 180 watts of power. The RTX 5060 has 3,840 CUDA cores, the same memory setup, and uses 145 watts. Both support PCIe Gen 5 for speedy data and DisplayPort 2.1b for the latest monitors. Even without Multi Frame Generation, games like A Plague Tale: Requiem run about 20 percent faster than the older RTX 4060 series, says NVIDIA’s Justin Walker.
This family is a big upgrade for the 50 million gamers with older 60-class or 50-class cards. The RTX 5060 Ti doubles the speed of the RTX 4060 Ti in many games, and NVIDIA Reflex makes controls feel instant. The RTX 5060 shines at 1080p, hitting over 100 FPS in tough games and super high speeds in fast games like Marvel Rivals. Laptops bring the same power, letting you play big games at over 100 FPS or speedy games at over 300 FPS, all in thin designs, thanks to NVIDIA’s Max-Q tech.
You can buy these from companies like ASUS, MSI, and GIGABYTE, but NVIDIA won’t sell its own versions, so prices might vary. Some worry the 8GB models won’t handle new games well since they use lots of memory, but NVIDIA says $299 for the RTX 5060 is a good deal compared to older cards like the $349 RTX 2060. The cards also help with video editing and AI features like NVIDIA ACE for digital characters.
The RTX 5060 family brings top tech to more gamers. With the RTX 5060 Ti out tomorrow and the RTX 5060 and laptops coming in May, get ready for smoother, prettier, and faster gaming.
