The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 is a mid-range desktop graphics card utilizing the GB206 chip based on the Blackwell architecture with 3,840 CUDA cores. The 5060 offers 8 GB GDDR7 graphics memory with a 128-bit memory bus. Additionally, the model features 30 RT-cores and 120 Tensor Cores (5th Gen).
Performance
Thanks to the bump in dedicated RT/CUDA cores and new architecture, the card is expected to offer better performance compared to the previous RTX 4060. The RTX 5060 is expected to be one of the fastest mid-range GPUs in 2025.
According to our tests, RTX 5060 is 32% ahead of the previous-gen RTX 4060, but also 14% behind the RTX 5060 Ti in the synthetic benchmarks and professional applications. The gaming performance is up to 26% better than that of the RTX 4060, but at the same time, the model trails the RTX 5070 by 34%.
Power consumption
The GB206 chip is manufactured in the modern 4N FinFET process at TSMC and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 145 Watts (35 W higher than RTX 4060).
