The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was unveiled on April 16, marking its entry as the most budget-friendly option among the Blackwell GPUs. Despite its launch, the RTX 5060 Ti has been elusive in the retail market, often only available with substantial markups. However, for those seeking a complete prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, the outlook is far more promising. Not only are these systems readily available, but they are also offered at competitive prices. The most affordable options we've encountered are from Skytech, available on Amazon, starting at just $1,249.99. This price point makes them an excellent choice for a modern 1080p/1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti serves as the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti, boasting a performance increase of about 15%-20% in games. This improvement is more significant than the generational leap seen from the RTX 4070 to the RTX 5070. For gamers focused on value, the RTX 5060 Ti is the top choice among Blackwell GPUs for 1080p gaming, and it's also well-suited for 1440p gaming, especially when leveraging DLSS 4 technology. While the RTX 5070 offers superior performance, prebuilt systems featuring it start at a much higher price range of $1,700-$1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more cost-effective option for gamers targeting 1440p or lower resolutions.
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. When compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it notably advances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates beyond those of the 40 series.
Thus, we can confidently consider the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the standout RTX 50 series graphics cards, and the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p gaming."
