NVIDIA has released the entry-level versions of the entry-level RTX 50 series, the new NVIDIA RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti.
The more powerful of the two, the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti, has 4608 CUDA cores on a GB206 die. It has a base clock of 2.41GHz with a boost of 2.57GHz. It’s been upgraded to GDDR7 memory clocked at 28 Gbps with a 128-bit bus and an option between 8GB and 16GB. It consumes 180W of power.
Meanwhile, the NVIDIA RTX 5060 has the same die with fewer 3840 CUDA cores. It has a 2.28GHz and 2.5GHz base and boost clocks, respectively. Sadly, it only has an 8GB GDDR7 option for some reason. It requires 145W of power.
Like their bigger brothers, the RTX 5060 series runs on NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell architecture built on TSMC’s 4N process. They use the 5th-generation Tensor cores and 4th-generation RT cores.
They also support the DLSS 4 feature set with 4x frame generation and the upcoming Reflex 2. They also support NVENC and NVDEC decoders and will use a PCIe 5.0 interface.
For the performance, the duo is 20-25% faster than their predecessors.
The NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti has a starting price of USD379 (~Php21,500) for the 8GB model and USD429 (~Php24,300) for the 16GB model and is now available in select markets. The RTX 5060 will begin at USD299 (~Php16,900) and will hit store shelves in May.
Per the company’s official website, the RTX 5060 Ti will have a starting price of Php25,999 in the Philippines and will be available in EasyPC, Davao Futurebright Enterprises, PCWORX, PCHub, PCExpress, Lazada, and Shopee.
