NVIDIA has unveiled the GeForce RTX 5060, a new addition to the RTX 50 Series lineup, designed to bring cutting-edge gaming performance and AI-driven features to a broader audience. Built on the advanced Blackwell architecture, the RTX 5060 delivers significant improvements in graphics rendering, power efficiency, and AI capabilities.
The NVIDIA RTX 5060 is built on the cutting-edge Blackwell architecture, featuring 3,840 CUDA cores and 8GB of next-gen GDDR7 memory with a 128-bit interface. With a base clock of 2.28 GHz (boost up to 2.50 GHz), it delivers efficient performance at a 150W power draw. The GPU supports PCIe 5.0 for high-bandwidth connectivity and DisplayPort 2.1b for ultra-high-resolution displays, making it a compelling choice for gamers and creators seeking next-gen performance at an accessible price point.
The RTX 5060 is engineered to deliver exceptional performance for 1080p and entry-level 1440p gaming, making it an ideal choice for gamers seeking high-quality visuals without a premium price tag. Starting at just $299 USD, the RTX 5060 is available through leading board partners such as ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and others, and officially launched in April 2025.
The benchmark slide for NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 demonstrates significant performance improvements over previous generations, showcasing 2X higher frame rates and reduced latency compared to both the RTX 3060 and RTX 4060. The tests were conducted across eight demanding titles including Hogwarts Legacy, Alan Wake 2, Black Myth: Wukong, and Cyberpunk 2077 – all running with DLSS Frame Generation enabled (4x FG in most cases, 2x FG for A Plague Tale: Requiem). The testing configuration used a high-end Ryzen 7 9900X3D processor at 1080p resolution with maximum graphics settings and DLSS Quality mode, applying each game’s maximum supported Frame Generation level. While the image doesn’t reveal specific FPS or latency numbers, the visual comparison clearly indicates the RTX 5060’s substantial generational leap in gaming performance through both higher frame rates and lower input latency.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, launched on April 16, 2025, is the latest addition to the RTX 50 Series, bringing next-gen gaming performance and smart AI enhancements to the mainstream market. Powered by the advanced Blackwell Architecture, the RTX 5060 Ti features 4,608 CUDA cores, a boost clock up to 2.57 GHz, and is available in 8GB and 16GB GDDR7 memory variants, offering fast performance over a 128-bit memory bus. With a power consumption of 180W, it supports the latest DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, 4th-gen Ray Tracing Cores, and PCIe 5.0, making it ideal for 1080p ultra and 1440p gaming with high frame rates. Starting at $379 USD for the 8GB model and $429 USD for the 16GB version, the RTX 5060 Ti is available from top brands like ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte. It’s an excellent choice for gamers and creators seeking a powerful yet affordable GPU with future-ready features.
The benchmark slide for NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX 5060 Ti reveals a 2X performance boost over previous-gen cards (RTX 3060 Ti/4060 Ti) in both frame rates (fps) and latency (ms) across popular games. Tested with DLSS Frame Generation (4x FG) in titles like Hogwarts Legacy, Alan Wake 2, Black Myth: Wukong, and Cyberpunk 2077, the GPU shows dramatic improvements in smoothness and responsiveness. The tests were run on a Ryzen 7 9900X3D system at 1440p max settings with DLSS Quality Mode, using each game’s maximum supported Frame Gen level. While exact fps/ms values aren’t visible, the side-by-side bars clearly show the RTX 5060 Ti’s lead, especially in demanding games like STALKER 2 and Frostpunk 2. The inclusion of A Plague Tale: Requiem (2x FG) and Delta Force further highlights its generational leap, making it a promising upgrade for high-refresh 1440p gaming.
NVIDIA Confirms RTX 5060 Laptop GPUs Launching This May
The GeForce RTX 5060 laptops are set to launch in May 2025, bringing next-generation performance and AI-powered features to mobile gamers and creators. Built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell Architecture, these laptops feature DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, Super Resolution, and Ray Reconstruction, delivering smooth 1080p and capable 1440p gaming experiences. With configurations starting at $1,099 USD, major manufacturers such as ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, Acer, Dell/Alienware, HP, Lenovo, and Razer will offer a variety of models, ranging from thin-and-light designs to high-performance machines . The RTX 5060 mobile GPU is equipped with 8GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit interface, operating at a base clock of 952 MHz and boosting up to 1,455 MHz, with a memory speed of 28 Gbps. These laptops also support PCIe 5.0 and DisplayPort 2.1a, ensuring high-speed connectivity and display capabilities. Designed for both gaming and content creation, RTX 5060 laptops offer desktop-level power in a portable package.
The upcoming laptops featuring NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 mobile GPU will offer double the frame rates and significantly lower latency compared to previous-gen RTX 3060 and 4060 laptop models. Performance tests show the RTX 5060 laptop GPU achieving 146 FPS in the tested configuration, a massive leap over the RTX 3060 (115 FPS) and RTX 4060 (68 FPS). More importantly, latency drops to just 21ms – a crucial improvement for competitive gaming.
These results were measured in a high-performance laptop configuration featuring :
100W GPU TGP (Total Graphics Power)
Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU
1080p Max Settings
DLSS Quality Mode with Frame Generation
The combination of higher frame rates and reduced latency makes the RTX 5060 laptops particularly compelling for both esports enthusiasts (who benefit from the responsiveness) and content creators (who gain rendering performance).
