The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was officially launched on April 16, marking its entry as the most budget-friendly Blackwell GPU available. However, its launch was somewhat overshadowed by the "paper launch" phenomenon, with actual retail units being scarce and often sold at a significant markup. On the brighter side, if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you'll be pleased to know that there are plenty of options readily available at reasonable prices. The most affordable models we've come across are the Skytech offerings on Amazon, starting at an attractive $1,249.99, making them excellent choices for a current-generation gaming rig suitable for 1080p and 1440p gameplay.

The RTX 5060 Ti steps up as the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a significant 15%-20% boost in gaming performance. This improvement outpaces the generational leap seen in the RTX 5070 compared to the RTX 4070. From a value perspective, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the top choice for 1080p gaming, while also being more than capable of delivering excellent performance at 1440p, particularly when DLSS 4 is utilized. Although the RTX 5070 boasts superior power, prebuilt systems featuring it start at a steep $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 budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it significantly improves native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates from the previous 40 series. Therefore, we can confidently label the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 series graphics cards, and the go-to option for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
