As buyers await the Nvidia RTX 5060 debut, manufacturers are preparing gaming PCs using the GPU. A leak from a French online retailer gives insight into the value of the Blackwell card. Official confirmation of RTX 5060 specs and price could happen within the next week.

Gamers shouldn't expect a Nvidia RTX 5060 release date until April, but a prebuilt gaming PC with the GPU has already surfaced. Tipped off by a social media post, VideoCardz found a French retailer's listing with RTX 5060 specs. Most significantly, the Acer Nitro 50 desktop lists the graphics card as having 8GB GDDR7 SDRAM.

The Acer Nitro 50 is hardly a budget gaming PC at just under 1600 Euros. Still, it includes a 14th-gen Intel Core i7-14700F CPU and 32GB of DDR5 memory. Even with many parts listed, it's difficult to decipher the RTX 5060 price. The most common guesses point to a $300 or $350 asking price, with the RTX 5050 $50 cheaper. Gamers won't have to wait long for confirmation if reports of an imminent Nvidia announcement prove accurate.

VideoCardz notes that the French retailer's listing mentions a PCIe x16 graphics controller. That contradicts most evidence of the RTX 5060 GPU using eight lanes. Nevertheless, the reliable leaker kopite7kimi has revealed more details on the Blackwell GPU. The source predicts that the RTX 5060 will have 3,840 CUDA cores, which is 768 cores more than the RTX 4060. Also, the RTX 5060 specs include a 150-watt TGP, 30% higher than the previous generation card.

Initial speculation about the RTX 5060 centered around the choice and size of memory. While the 50-series GPU makes the leap to GDDR7, some gamers are salty about the 8GB capacity. Recent titles are increasingly hungry for VRAM, which poses problems for an affordable custom or prebuilt gaming PC. The RTX 4060 had 8GB GDDR6 of VRAM, but the RTX 3060 sold with up to 12GB of memory. To handle higher-resolution textures, buyers would need to upgrade to the RTX 5060 Ti, which may have a 16GB VRAM option.

Without major boosts in processing power or memory capacity, the RTX 5060 looks slightly less appealing. However, even budget Blackwell GPUs will support all DLSS 4 features, including multi-frame generation
