RTX 5060 Ti specs and launch window revealed by new leak

A new leak from Wccftech effectively confirms an EEC listing from earlier which stated the RTX 5060 Ti would arrive in two flavours. The first one will be mounted on a PG152 SKU 10 board. It will launch with 16 GB of 28 Gbps GDDR7 VRAM on a 128-bit bus and a TDP of 180 Watts. This version is expected to hit shelves sometime in the second half of march, two weeks after the RTX 5070 is expected to drop.

In early April, its 8 GB variant will break cover. The RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB version uses the same 28 GB modules on a 128-bit bus and has the same TDP as its 16 GB version. Lastly, it is mounted on a PG152 SKU 15 board. There's no word about which GPU either model uses, but we're probably looking at a GB205 die for both parts. Whether they'll share the same GPU or if the 16 GB version gets a few extra CUDA cores remains to be seen.

That leaves us with the plain RTX 5060 which is said to come in just one 8 GB variant. Another EEC listing shed light on the RTX 5050 desktop, a class of card Nvidia seemingly abandoned with Ada Lovelace. Their laptop variants were spotted not too long ago on HP's website. Either way, getting your hand on a RTX 5060 Ti or even a RTX 5060 at launch might be tricky due to limited supply, all the more reason for gamers to consider AMD's Navi 44-powered RDNA 4 offerings, which, at the time of writing, do not have a release date.
