The RTX 5060 Ti follows in the footsteps of the RTX 4060 Ti, delivering a notable 15%-20% performance boost in games. This improvement outpaces the RTX 5070's generational leap over the RTX 4070, making the RTX 5060 Ti the best value Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, while also being capable of 1440p gaming, especially when utilizing DLSS 4. Although the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems with this GPU start at a steep $1,700-$1,800. For gamers focusing on resolutions up to 1440p, the price difference is tough to justify.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed tradition of the XX60 Ti series, delivering smooth and relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it significantly enhances native resolution framerates from the previous 40 series, even before DLSS comes into play.
Thus, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as one of the more successful entries in the RTX 50 lineup, positioning itself as the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
