The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was officially launched on April 16, marking its entry as the most budget-friendly option in the Blackwell GPU lineup. However, the launch turned out to be a "paper" release, with actual retail units scarce and often available only at a significant markup. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There's a good selection of reasonably priced options available, particularly from Skytech on Amazon. The two most affordable models start at just $1,249.99, offering a compelling deal for a current-generation gaming rig capable of handling 1080p and 1440p resolutions.

The RTX 5060 Ti is the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a performance boost of approximately 15%-20% in gaming scenarios. This improvement is more significant than the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, and it's also well-equipped to handle 1440p gaming, especially when utilizing DLSS 4 technology. While the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems featuring it start at a much higher price point of $1,700-$1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more cost-effective choice for gamers targeting 1440p or lower resolutions.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed XX60 Ti tradition, delivering smooth and relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it makes a more substantial effort to push native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates forward from the previous 40 series. As such, the RTX 5060 Ti can be considered one of the more successful RTX 50 series graphics cards, and it's currently the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
