News Nvidia RTX 5060 is up to 25% faster than RTX 4060 with frame generation in new GPU preview

[Admin]

Nvidia has given select outlets a chance to preview the RTX 5060 using very strict benchmarking measures. In these tests, the RTX 5060 is 16%—25 % faster than the RTX 4060.

I am glad to see that Tom's Hardware isn't involved in these shenanigans. The tech world expects us to uphold high standards, and when we fail to do so it ruins our reputation.

 

[Pemalite]

nVidia being shady.

Any "review outlet" that engages with this kind of shenanigans from nVidia will be a review outlet that loses my clicks/views.

 

[thestryker]

This is basically doing nvidia marketing slides for them. I'm disappointed, but completely unsurprised by this behavior from nvidia.

 

[lazerguyct]

"with frame generation enabled" If this "review" isn't blatant shilling I don't know what is. Pathetic sell out of your subscribers.

You are kidding right? Or is it sarcasm?

If someone from Tom's Hardware had written the actual "preview", I might sympathize with your position. As it is, they are reporting on the work of another - not actually writing a shill piece themselves.

I do think the title could be improved.

I din't realize that. But they are responsible for content on thier web site.

After seeing results of those 'tests' I have suspicion that there will be games in which 5060 loses to 4060 when using same settings on both.

 

[hotaru251]

so 4060 has 2frames right?

5060 has up to 4....yet only a 25% improvement? my god thats effectively regression.

I don't think that's right.

5060 has 25% more cores and even more bandwidth than the 4060. So if it got +25% performance, they must have both been running the same frame gen settings in the comparison.

While these tests are suspicious, I think we can expect a 25% performance uplift from the 5060 at around the same MSRP. Not bad, not fantastic. If Nvidia later introduces a 12 GB version of the card (using 3 GB GDDR7), it could be warmly received.

" with frame generation "

ok, how about with out it ?? 50% slower ? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

 

[Notton]

I wonder how much performance this card will lose when plugged into a PCIe 4.0 slot, or worse yet, a 3.0 slot.

core number is sometimes irrelevant as Nvidia changes the architecture of them.

"The Way You're Meant To Be Played".

Also, you all have to realise this portion of the market is the one that buys the most amount of cards for nVidia, so of course they'll desperately control the narrative to* this extreme.

Except that Klotz admits that this is effectively a hype article for nVidia at the end:

In the meantime, Nvidia is using "preview" articles to stir hype for its upcoming mid-range GPU.

I say it should be deleted and tighter editorial standards be put in place so articles that are clearly purely political in nature (such as "China says TSMC's $100 billion U.S. deal shows Taiwan's ruling party is 'selling out Taiwan'" https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-i...uling-party-is-selling-out-taiwan-say-critics ) or pure hype articles, like this one, would not be posted..

 

[usertests]

core number is sometimes irrelevant as Nvidia changes the architecture of them.

The 5090 has 33% more cores, and it gets about 25% more performance in 4K raster. The 5060 Ti 16 GB has 5.9% more cores and gets 18.5% more performance in 1440p raster. More cores obviously leads to more perf with Blackwell. But it will hit an 8 GB VRAM wall in some games, even at 1080p.

 

[Nitmare64]

The title of this article made me puke. Might as well tagged Nvidia and put #ad.

 

[CelicaGT]

NVIDIA actually doing the stuff Userbenchmark accuses AMD of...

Also, there is no hype for the 5060...well...not the kind NVIDIA is wanting to stir up. I now consider NVIDIA a maliciously anti consumer company and I will in the future, avoid all their products. They are in fact, scum.

 

[Amdlova]

I will keep the 4060 for a long time...
Gaiming is ded

 

[valthuer]

Nvidia won’t gain much from these antics. Eventually, 5060 will be exposed to the market as the complete garbage it really is.

 

[hotaru251]

at this point Nvidia might as well not make 60 tier gpu.

Legit waste of sand.

a 4060 had 66.63 w/ frame gen
the 5060 had 83.77 w/ x2mfg.....

nvidia is using those fake frames as a point so goign by their own view....the 60 is making doublt the frames.....yet only a mere 19 frame better? it should be around 30 (at the minimum)...19 is a literal joke considering the downside that come w/ that mfg.

 

[criticaloftom]

Yeah; really don't care how much faster artificial frames are on the automatic lag generation.

 

[AlistairAB]

I feel embarrassed to have bought NVidia GPUs, including an RTX 5070 Ti. I won't buy a single one of their products in the future. My brother said it would only be a matter of time before I regretted buying their products, and that day has arrived.

No respect for the buyers, fake benchmarks, fake reviews, frame-gen forced on. I'm done. I'm done with NVidia for good.

 

[DavidLejdar]

Would be interesting to know, how much the improvement, if any, is with a more common CPU than the 9800X3D. Like, when a rig is CPU-bound with a 4060, can a 5060 top that? A few tests like that, one could perhaps even give recommendations about which CPU to use at least, for which GPU - as in the cut-off point, where a rig becomes GPU-bound.

As for frame generation, got me a 9070 XT this week, and curious how that looks and plays like. It sure boosts the FPS number quite some. In Cyberpunk 2077 (which has "only" FSR 3), at 3440x1440 all max and RT Ultra, it went from 83 avg. fps (min 72), to avg. 159 (min 141) with FG - with FSR on Auto (on Quality it is 135, min 120, and about 10 less with RT Psycho).

But from what I understand, FG does need a good FPS baseline, like the 83, for player-interactions to not feel sluggish. So, generally nice to check the link, where Tom's tracks the baseline numbers for the GPUs, prior to (eventual) DLSS/FSR and FG, for a more solid info, than the current: "The preview said 66 FPS for a 4060, and no one knows whether that may be with a baseline of 20."
