There are whispers that Nvidia will reveal and launch its GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU next week, which suggests that reviewers should currently be testing this new graphics card. Videocardz has leaked the 3DMARK benchmark performance data of Nvidia’s new RTX 5060 Ti, indicating the speed of Nvidia’s latest mid-range graphics card.

According to these benchmarks, Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti is approximately 20% faster on average. However, some tests, such as the lower-resolution 3DMARK Time Spy Test, show more modest improvements.

Leaked preliminary test results of the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB in 3DMark.

Videocardz has reported that Nvidia has advised its partners not to provide reviewers with the 8GB RTX 5060 Ti models. This likely means that initial reviews will concentrate on Nvidia’s pricier 16GB model, which will not face performance issues related to VRAM capacity. By taking this approach, Nvidia aims to prevent any negative coverage in reviews. Simply put, 8GB is insufficient VRAM for many contemporary AAA titles. Users with 8GB GPUs often need to adjust numerous texture-related settings in games to avoid complications.

If the latest rumors hold true, Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti is set to launch next week. The reported MSRP for these GPUs is $379 and $429 for the 8GB and 16GB versions, respectively. This pricing notably exceeds that of AMD’s recently revealed RX 9060 XT series.

Interestingly, RTX 5070s are being sold at MSRP in Europe (with some even cheaper), yet they remain unsold as consumers hesitate to pay for an RTX 4070 Super sidegrade. Attention is focused on Nvidia as the anticipated drop of the RTX 5060 Ti approaches in three days, bringing with it the official MSRP and a complete array of independent benchmark results to analyze.
