- Nvidia RTX 5060 has been noticed in a French retailer’s product itemizing
- That product web page is for an Acer gaming PC, and it offers us a few specs
- The RTX 5060 is (as soon as once more) proven to purportedly have 8GB of video RAM, and it’s GDDR7 reminiscence
Nvidia’s RTX 5060 GPU has been sighted in a retailer’s product itemizing of an Acer desktop PC, including one other rumor to the rising pile of hypothesis that these are the subsequent Blackwell fashions to launch (maybe very quickly).
VideoCardz stories that common leaker @momomo_us on X seen the itemizing at a French retailer, EvoPC.
It’s a product web page for an Acer Nitro N50 gaming PC (nonetheless dwell, on the time of writing) which has an RTX 5060 graphics card, and we get a few small spec particulars about this GPU too.
Clearly regard all of this with a sizeable serving to of skepticism, however the RTX 5060 is listed as having 8GB of VRAM and the kind of reminiscence is proven as GDDR7.
It’s already been rumored that Nvidia will use GDDR7 video RAM for all its Blackwell graphics playing cards – save maybe for the RTX 5050, if the desktop model does certainly exist, as claimed – so this tallies with present rumors. As does the allocation of 8GB of VRAM for the RTX 5060, for that matter.
Evaluation: One other spherical of the video RAM blues?
One other rumor pointing to 8GB of video RAM for the vanilla RTX 5060 goes to trigger groans from avid gamers who weren’t impressed that the RTX 4060 caught at this degree, not to mention its successor. Nevertheless it’d hardly be a shock provided that the RTX 5070 additionally maintained 12GB of video reminiscence (once more, to the frustration of many).
Nvidia might argue that this new GDDR7 RAM is way quicker – and it’s, for positive – and that the corporate has tips up its sleeve to make leaner VRAM loadouts work higher (resembling RTX Neural Texture Compression). The difficulty with these AI boosts is that they gained’t apply throughout the board – they’re just for supported video games – and so the general image of the place we’ll find yourself with this ultimately is muddy.
I believe, nonetheless, like many on the market, that Nvidia is underequipping the RTX 5060 (and the 5070) VRAM-wise, for any actual degree of future-proofing anyway.
As you could recall, Nvidia is supposedly maintaining the identical system as Lovelace for the RTX 5060 Ti, too, which means there’ll theoretically be each 8GB and 16GB spins on that GPU (and once more, the latter will supply extra VRAM than its higher-tier sibling, the RTX 5070). So, for individuals who do need a greater degree of safety in opposition to the VRAM blues, there ought to hopefully be the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB – albeit with the prospect of it exacting a less-than-fair toll in your pockets. (Bearing firmly in thoughts that every one that is rumors, after all).
The grapevine additionally reckons that the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti is likely to be revealed in March, very quickly – even perhaps later this week, or early subsequent week – and these GPUs may go on sale later in March, or in April, once we may see the RTX 5050, too. The hope is that the latter may very well be a very wallet-friendly Blackwell graphics card, fingers crossed.
