Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5060 family is here and finally on shelves — technically.

This budget-friendly Nvidia GPU comes in two variations: a higher-powered version with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a more wallet-friendly variation with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM. The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB retails for $429 while the 8GB model will set you back $379.

So far, reviews of the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB have landed squarely in the 4-star range, offering decent gen-on-gen uplifts compared to the RTX 4060 Ti, but question how good of a bargain the 16GB model is.

As Engadget's Devindra Hardawar states, "NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti aims at a very niche group of gamers." Because of the 5060 Ti's price-point, it exists in that middle ground between "budget" and "mid-range" which can often be a no-man's land.

But the 5060 Ti does make a case for itself. Hardawar awarded the 5060 Ti 16 GB a score of 85/100, reasoning, "In terms of raw rendering power, it's a minor upgrade over the previous RTX 4060 Ti. But thanks to the power of DLSS 4 AI upscaling, as well as 4X frame generation (the ability to create three interpolated frames for every one that's rendered), the RTX 5060 Ti can reach surprisingly high fps scores in 1080p and even 1440p."
