GeForce RTX 5060 Series to be announced one day before the RTX 5060 Ti launches

Mainstream GeForce RTX 5060 Series leaks and rumors are starting to heat up. In the past week or so, detailed specs for both the GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti have emerged alongside the current planned release dates. The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will launch on April 16, with the RTX 5060 following in mid-May.

NVIDIA has yet to announce the mainstream GeForce RTX 5060 Series, and based on the latest rumor from Hong Kong outlet HKEPC (via Videocardz), we won't get any official information until the 11th hour. According to the source, NVIDIA is currently planning to announce the GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (which will launch in 8Gb and 16GB variants) on April 15, one day before the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti hits shelves.

The rumor also notes that reviews for the RTX 5060 Ti will go live on April 16 for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, covering both MSRP and non-MSRP models. There's apparently a stipulation that NVIDIA's partners (which includes the likes of ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, etc.) will have to have at least one MSRP model available on day one for the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti GPUs.

When it comes to mainstream GPUs like the current GeForce RTX 4060, pricing is always a key factor in determining overall value - but based on the current state of the market, we're preparing for the worst when it comes to the non-MSRP models for these cards. As for performance, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti features a similar hardware upgrade over the RTX 4060 Ti that the GeForce RTX 5070 has over the RTX 4070 - which should read to a comparable 20% increase in performance. The GeForce RTX 5060 could deliver a significant improvement over the RTX 4060 as the CUDA Core count is much higher, and it is set to sport some high-speed GDDR7 memory.
