- Nvidia RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti might be introduced tomorrow, forward of the Sport Builders Convention subsequent week
- This could be an preliminary reveal, with the GPUs presumably occurring sale in April
- There’s no point out of an RTX 5050 on this newest rumor, although, which was additionally beforehand rumored to hit the cabinets in April
Nvidia is about to unleash its RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 GPUs tomorrow, or that’s the contemporary phrase from the grapevine.
VideoCardz claims that Nvidia has simply briefed the press on these fashions, and that the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 shall be revealed tomorrow, March 13, as a part of an replace forward of the Sport Builders Convention (GDC) which occurs subsequent week.
We aren’t advised something past that, or given any last-minute purported specs for the RTX 5060 Ti or the vanilla 5060, however the assertion at this level is that the rumors are prone to be on the cash.
That being the case, right here’s what you’ll be able to anticipate to see: an RTX 5060 with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM, and an RTX 5060 Ti mannequin which has the identical 8GB reminiscence configuration, however comes alongside an RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB. In different phrases, these new graphics playing cards will theoretically mirror the VRAM swimming pools of the prevailing RTX 4060 fashions.
In principle, the RTX 5060 goes to have 3,840 CUDA Cores, with the RTX 5060 Ti getting 4,608. Energy utilization will supposedly be pitched at 150W and 180W respectively.
Do not forget that this could simply be an announcement tomorrow, and RTX 5060 graphics playing cards aren’t abruptly going to be out there this week. These three completely different fashions are prone to hit the cabinets in April, although, primarily based on the excitement elsewhere from the grapevine.
Evaluation: One other essential mid-range GPU conflict
To date, Blackwell rumors have been just about spot-on by way of accuracy, so I wouldn’t argue with the specs which have been claimed up so far. After all, we’d like to remember that they may be improper, and certainly this data a few launch tomorrow could be false, too (or Nvidia may doubtlessly change its thoughts on the final minute).
Nevertheless, on condition that we’ve been handled to much more rumors on the RTX 5060 fashions of late, it is sensible that they’re imminent. A few well-known leakers have already speculated that Nvidia’s RTX 5060 GPUs could also be unveiled this week (or subsequent).
This is a vital launch for Nvidia, as a result of AMD has completed very nicely with the introduction of its new RX 9070 XT (and RX 9070), very a lot upsetting Workforce Inexperienced’s RTX 5070 stall. With the RX 9060 being readied for a Q2 launch, and inflicting pleasure amongst avid gamers as a result of success of the 9070 playing cards, Nvidia wants to make sure that the notion of its Blackwell fashions isn’t additional broken within the mid-range house.
Certainly, Nvidia apparently has a lower-tier desktop GPU, a possible RTX 5050, additionally ready within the wings (the primary true funds RTX mannequin for the reason that 3050, as a result of the 4050 was laptop-only). Whereas we’ve heard theories that this graphics card may also be an April launch, notably there’s no point out of the RTX 5050 with this contemporary rumor. That leaves me to surprise if it could be additional down the road now.
Each time (or if) it does present up, there’s some hope that the RTX 5050 might be a critically wallet-friendly GPU, as a result of as famous, Nvidia must get again within the sport right here. Fascinating instances certainly, and naturally pricing and inventory ranges are sure to be key components – and AMD retains making constructive noises on the GPU provide entrance.
