Benchmarks of the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB in 3DMark, likely sourced from a reviewer, suggest a 20% performance increase, on average, versus the 4060 Ti 16GB.

Due to the lackluster of the whole 50 series as a whole.... it likely is still a DOA product, can't handle 1080P ultra gaming day 1

I find that hard to believe, since it has 16 GB and GDDR7. Should be overkill for 1080p. But with street pricing of over $500, that won't make anybody happy.

The only thing that was wrong with the 4060Ti 16GB was it's $500 price tag.
$500, non-starter
$450, still of questionable value
$400, now we're talking
$350, one can dream.

So, slower than a 4070 (non Super), which was about 30% faster than the 4060Ti. The 4070 Super was a full 50% faster than the already-abysmal 4060Ti.

Meanwhile, the $399 3060Ti was on par with the 2080 Super.

VRam being the most limiting factor is being known, but then even at 1080P, new titles now can't run full ultra at playable framerates without DLSS for 4060Ti 16GB, for the 20% faster model it will have a hard time to allow that without DLSS introducing some weird glitches, with the price it likely goes DOA as they've pushed away to many budget gamers from PC gaming in the past 2 gen pricing to not bt DOA..

165w to 180w = 9.09% more power 11% uplift from ram ?

Yes, the 'cheapest' reasonable card for 1080p ultra + RT and small frame-time gaming, from the 5000 series, will be the RTX 5070 Super 18GB. Better start saving...

It's not surprising there is little uplift on the 5060 Ti since there wasn't much core increase just memory bandwidth. This was never going to be a good card, but if the pricing is right wouldn't be bad (chances of this happening is low period, but especially for the 16GB one). Not sending out 8GB VRAM models seems like an interesting choice as well.

The 5060, if leaked specs are correct, is the one which should see a fair bit of uplift.

not really.
every benchmark media will show how bad it performas even in 1440p.

8GB vram shouldnt exist in 2025...it shouldnt of existed in 2024.

That's why it's an interesting choice: it's a tacit admission by nvidia that it shouldn't exist.

I'm predicting a 4.5 star rating.

I'm predicting a 4.5 star rating.

Maybe at 350 dollars.

$500 was wrong for gamer but it is not the intended market for the card.

 

[beyondlogic]

fantastic a 5060 ti that beat the already lack luster 4060 ti the only reason the 4060 is even relevant is because they had to shoe horned it into prebuilds.

 

[King_V]

One would HOPE it could at least get the 14% uplift mentioned in the latter half of the article given:

• 12.5% TDP increase (160W to 180W)
• New architecture
• GDDR7 VRAM

The latter two SHOULD offer more than a 1:1 power consumption-to-performance increase.

Paint me underwhelmed, though with the reservation that nothing is set in stone until we see the real 3rd party performance testing . That said, it's better than what we saw with the 5070 vs the 4070 Super. 30W extra to get a less than 2 fps gain in 1080 medium, 1080 ultra, 1440 ultra and 4k ultra? Or, if you prefer to compare the 5070 to the vanilla 4070, 12-20% performance increase for 25% higher TDP.

My expectations are not high.

 

[watzupken]

I think best to wait for official independent reviews where its more transparent on the games tested and the test bench. 20% improvement is not impossible in some condition especially when RT is enabled. The RT cores can help themselves to more memory bandwidth (which is something sorely lacking in the RTX 4060 series) that may contribute to the higher performance. But overall, Blackwell is very lackluster and overpriced for its gaming performance.
