NVIDIA has officially announced: the RTX 5060 goes on sale May 19 at a price of $299. This continues the company’s strategy of offering “affordable” GPUs with flagship features — and this time, the focus is on DLSS 4, Multi Frame Generation, and new GDDR7 memory.
On paper, it looks solid:
– 3840 CUDA cores
– 8 GB GDDR7
– 128-bit bus
– Latest-gen Tensor and RT cores
Without DLSS, performance gains over the RTX 4060 are around 20%. With DLSS 4 and frame generation — even more. It supports all current rendering technologies: ray tracing, AI-accelerated effects, and frame generation.
But there’s a catch: only 8 GB of VRAM. That’s still enough for 1080p gaming, but in games with heavy textures — especially at 1440p and above — it may become a bottleneck. You’ll need to choose between visual quality and stability.
The RTX 5060 isn’t for hardcore enthusiasts. It’s a workhorse for the new era, where AI-driven optimizations matter more than raw power. Ideal for those who want to game on high settings — with some compromises — without paying for RTX 4070+.
