Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

At face value, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB appears to be a decent product. It offers a modest overall performance upgrade over the previous generation, with some notable gains in certain scenarios. However, those gains alone aren't enough to generate real excitement around the product – and Nvidia knows it.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is a solid little 1080p graphics card, even compared to its last-generation counterpart. There are very few games that it can’t max out at that resolution, and even in games where it struggles – looking at you Assassins Creed Shadows – you can just turn down the ray tracing a bit to get much better performance.

DLSS 4 goes mainstream with the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti VENTUS 2X 16GB, an excellent option for 1440p gaming, thanks to the additional VRAM and RTX technologies. It's also efficient, with a low power draw, and MSI's Ventus design is compact and lightweight.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB delivers 15% more performance than its 4060 Ti 16GB predecessor, at a theoretically lower price and with a lot more memory bandwidth. It's a good choice, assuming you can find it at a reasonable price.

The RTX 5060 Ti offers solid 1080p and 1440p performance under $500, and it delivers some impressive framerates with the help of NVIDIA’s DLSS 4.

If you already own a decent 1080p card, there likely isn't a reason to upgrade, but if your older RTX 20 or 30 series card is on the fritz, and you can snag of of these for retail, it's a worthwhile gaming companion.

Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti is a real statement piece for DLSS 4 — showcasing huge framerates in plenty of top games at an impressive cost. It’s not worth it for 40-series owners, given the small gains in raw rendering and content creation performance. But if you’re on older cards or looking to get into PC gaming for the first time, this is a great start.

The 16GB version is the one to have then, but with the 5070 offering 35 to 43 percent better performance at "only" 28 percent more money, you're again funnelled towards the higher-priced offering - though $120 extra is a significant step up in this sector of the market. I just wish that Nvidia understood that value is supposed to increase the further down the stack you go - not decrease.

By EuroGamer on

The addition of GDDR7 for all members of the RTX 5060 family really makes a difference, at least based on the results from our RTX 5060 Ti 16GB sample. If NVIDIA had released the cards with GDDR6, the only significant difference compared to the RTX 4060 family would probably be DLSS 4, and of course the Frame Generation that seems to be the focus of NVIDIA’s consumer graphics business now.
