The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was officially launched on April 16 as the most budget-friendly option in the Blackwell GPU lineup. However, it was met with disappointment as a "paper" launch, with no actual retail units available without a significant markup. On the brighter side, if you're in the market for a complete prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, your options are far more promising. A variety of prebuilt gaming PCs are readily available and are surprisingly well-priced. The most affordable options we've come across are from Skytech, listed on Amazon, starting at an attractive $1,249.99. This is a great deal for a current-generation gaming setup capable of handling 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The RTX 5060 Ti steps up from its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a notable 15%-20% performance boost in gaming. This improvement surpasses the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti is the top choice among Blackwell cards for 1080p gaming, yet it's also robust enough for 1440p, particularly when leveraging DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 boasts greater power, prebuilt systems equipped with it start at a steeper $1,700-$1,800. For gamers targeting 1440p or below, the price difference is tough to justify.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)

"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed tradition of the XX60 Ti series, delivering smooth and relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it pushes native resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates forward significantly from the 40 series era.

Thus, the RTX 5060 Ti emerges as one of the standout RTX 50 series cards, making it the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
