GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti tentative launch window emerges online

Now that the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are officially out and about (at least on paper), it is time to look at the rest of Blackwell. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 are slated to arrive this month (February). That leaves us with the GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti. A leak from a Chinese AIB says it could be next month.

X leaker @wxnod spotted a listing on a Chinese e-commerce website which says the GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti will launch in March 2025. This sits in line with a report from 2024 that said the same. Unlike their higher-end counterparts, they might not get a dedicated event and could be slyly unveiled via a press release. Either way, the timing is impeccable because that's around when AMD plans to show off a part of its RDNA 4 lineup.

While the exact GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti specs are unknown, we can assume the latter will use a cut-down GB205 die (GB206, perhaps) found on the RTX 5070. A previous leak said Nvidia would offer it in 8 and 16 GB variants, so a 128-bit bus seems likely. As far as the RTX 5060 goes, it might use a GB207 GPU with 8 GB VRAM on the same memory bus.

If the GeForce RTX 5080's performance is anything to go by, the rest of the Blackwell lineup will offer minimal performance gains over their Ada Lovelace counterparts. But, the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB RAM version might hold up better in the long term due to its extra VRAM, which, on previous occasions, has helped the RTX 3060 outperform the RTX 4060 in VRAM-heavy scenarios.
