News Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti final specs and launch day allegedly leaked

and like the 4060 its an instant "don't buy".

theres no world where that 128bit bus will not be holding you back same way the 4060 did.
There is such a world: The world where it's using GDDR7 for a large bandwidth boost.

That being said, I don't think the 5060 Ti will be a game changer because of the shader count barely increasing. The 5060 gets a relatively large uplift from the 4060, so if they eventually sell a 12 GB version, that could be good at the right price.

5.8% increase in CUDA cores.
If they use 28GT/s GDDR7 then we are looking at 448GB/s of bandwidth... Which is an increase of 160GB/s or an improvement of 64% in effective bandwidth.

Core clocks haven't shifted much between the 4000 series and 5000 series, but that will likely be what determines the uplift in compute-bound scenarios gen-on-gen.

nVidia might also just ignore the option of going with GDDR7 and stick with GDDR6 like AMD as it's cheaper.
 
It looks like they photoshopped the 12VHPWR connector out of the provided image. Unfortunately that is probably how this will work and it is unlikely that Nvidia has fixed their power delivery on lower end models, but not on the higher end models.
 
I held my nose and bought an RTX 5070, since my old RTX 2060 6GB was just not good enough for modern games (it didn't even meet minimum requirements for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle). Even though it was very expensive (~$600ish), the RTX 5070 is a solid upgrade. I quickly ran Time Spy before and after upgrading to see the difference (the rest of the system is the same):
RTX 2060 Time Spy: 7712 (GPU: 7435)
RTX 5070 Time Spy: 18619 (GPU: 22559)
So this new GPU I guess is ~3x as fast as what I had at least in synthetic benchmarks.
 
RTX 5060 to will probably be slightly faster than a 4060 ti, which started at $400.

So I fully expect the fictional MSRP of the 5060 ti to start at $500, with actual cards starting at $600, and a street price that won't matter, because it's a paper launch.

But the street price of the RTX 4060 ti will shoot up a lot once scalpers cartels finish up buying the last of the remaining stock of every Nvidia card of every generation, on earth.
I think the actual Mafia is involved with manipulating GPU prices at this point.

Totally agree with this except for the mafia part (I don’t think NVidia would allow them on their turf).

Every 50 series except the 5090 is just a very slightly faster version of the 40 series, non of the 50 series are for sale in any reasonable number and aside from the two or three founders edition cards NVidia sells monthly non are for sale at anything even close to resembling MSRP.

The bus on the 4060 was irrelevant. There simply wasn't enough compute to leverage the bandwidth that existed. Also, massive cache changes in Lovelace made VRAM bandwidth nowhere near as relevant as it used to be.

The 5060 (non-Ti) is the product to watch; finally a "low-end" product that will displace a 3070. (I'm calculating it will be a near-match to the 3070)

The 5060Ti will be "OK", probably a bit better than a 3070Ti, but it will be overpriced for the performance you gain over the 5060.

Putting aside the overall tortured language in this article, it's obvious that a 5060Ti is not going to be only $50 less than a 5070. The 4060Ti 16GB was a sales disaster, price is everything in the mainstream and it was simply too expensive.

Expect the 5060Ti 16GB to drop to $449 and the 8GB to remain at $399. The 5060 will also remain at $299, unless the 9060 series is exceptionally fast and competitively priced.

You just had to drop $50 more to get the 9070XT and get 5-6x the performance.
