NVIDIA has officially announced the GeForce RTX 5060 Series, with the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti launching on April 16. As the rumors have hinted, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will arrive in two flavors - 8GB or 16GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus that delivers roughly double the memory bandwidth of the RTX 4060 Ti. With prices starting from $379 and $429, these mainstream RTX Blackwell GPUs benefit from the new architecture and the arrival of DLSS 4.

NVIDIA has released a single performance chart for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, which you can see above. The chart compares its performance to the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 3060 Ti for 1440p gaming. Yes, the chart includes Multi Frame Generation, exclusive to the RTX 50 Series. Delivering 2X the frame rate with lower latency, it can deliver massive improvements to performance in games like Alan Wake 2, Black Myth: Wukong, and Cyberpunk 2077.

The chart includes two games running with like-for-like settings - Delta Force and A Plague Tale: Requiem. It shows a 20% or so performance improvement for the RTX 5060 Ti compared to the RTX 4060 Ti, which is good to see and a similar performance jump when looking at the RTX 4070 compared to the new RTX 5070.

NVIDIA showcases what DLSS 4 brings to the more mainstream GeForce RTX 5060 Ti - a boost to image quality, frame rate, and latency (which NVIDIA describes as the three pillars of gaming performance). Using Hogwarts Legacy running in 1440p as an example, with full ray-tracing and max settings, the game runs natively at 61 FPS with a latency of 70ms.

This is an impressive result, but with DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation, the image quality is improved thanks to the new transformer model, and the frame rate increases dramatically to 171 FPS with a latency of 47ms.

NVIDIA is positioning the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti as a 1440p gaming card that will deliver excellent performance when paired with the most demanding titles. Here are a few more close-up comparisons between the RTX 4060 Ti, RTX 4060 Ti, and the RTX 5060 Ti covering Black Myth: Wukong and Cyberpunk 2077.
