Nvidia’s upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti graphics cards have stirred up a lot of excitement in the gaming community and offer quite a unique blend of performance and ability – an audience favorite in the Indian gaming community
The Incoming March Madness
In other words, buckle up for the third generation of RTX to arrive sometime in 2025, as a recent data mine of Chaintech – one of the main companies that supply video cards with chips and PCB – will be bringing the bleeding edge graphics cards launch timelines down to March 2025.
This announcement has also reminded the community that there are other cards such as the B580 and how these 5000 series cards will perform against them.
Under the Hood
The RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti are based on Nvidia’s latest Blackwell GB206 architecture, which by the likes of it comes with a major performance improvement. Memory may be the most important differentiator because the RTX 5060 Ti will most likely launch with 2 variants, a 16GB card and an 8GB card variant with GDDR7 memory. This flexibility would also make it ideal for gamers with varying needs and budgets.
These entry-level RTC 5060 GPUs are expected to debut in 8GB variants that will enable budget 1080p gaming – RTX enabled. That’s right, with ray tracing since the GDDR7 memory will help these 5000 series cards be the game changers, literally. This generation of memory features major increases in bandwidth over the past generations, allowing for increased frame rates, smoother performance, and shortened load times.
The rise of the new 1440p Champ & 1080p Slayer
Nvidia has made it very clear who each card is for:
- RTX 5060 Ti: A GPU designed for high-resolution gaming, it excels at 1440p with the 16GB VRAM option giving you enough overkill headroom for high-end AAA games and ray tracing effects.
- RTX 5060: Aimed at more budget-conscious gamers, this model can provide a decent 1080p gaming experience and is a great value.
The Indian pricing madness
Here’s the catch the Indian pricing is yet to be revealed; nonetheless, we can hypothesize by looking at trends from the past and simply going by the international MSRP. Pricing for the RTX 5060 should hover around ₹25,000 – ₹30,000 and for the RTX 5060 Ti it should be somewhere in the ₹35,000 – ₹45,000 price bracket.
The Competition Heats Up
The RTX 5060 series launch will most likely shake up the mid-range gaming GPU space. AMD’s next-generation Radeon RX 9060 series and Intel’s Arc B580 will be fighting back against Nvidia’s supremacy. This does, of course, allow Nvidia to take advantage of a dual memory solution on the RTX 5060 Ti potentially, which could prove vital in giving it the upper hand against AMD – particularly at a time when gamers are asking for an increase in VRAM capacity for modern games at higher resolutions
