NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti Review: Real Performance

  GeForce RTX 5060 Family Graphics Cards | NVIDIA 50x faster than a GTX 1060?

  • Claim:

    Nvidia says the 5060 Ti is 50 times faster than the GTX 1060.

  • Reality Check:

    That would mean 30 FPS on a 1060 = 1500 FPS on a 5060 Ti — which is absurd.

  • Probable Context:

    They’re likely referring to ray tracing scenarios or AI-enhanced workloads using DLSS 4 Frame Generation, something the GTX 1060 (especially the 3 GB version) simply can’t do.

  • Actual Performance Jump (raster, no DLSS):

    More like 15–20% faster than the 4060 Ti 16 GB, not 50x anything.

      Specs & Design

  • CUDA Cores: 4,608 — slightly more than 4060, fewer than 3060 Ti.
  • Memory: 16 GB GDDR7 (but still 128-bit bus).
  • Power: 180W TDP, 8-pin connector (no 12VHPWR “melty” cables).
  • Ports: 3x DisplayPort 2.1, 1x HDMI 2.1b.
  • Cooling: Two-slot card, basic design, metal backplate with thermal pads.

      Nvidia's leaked 8GB GeForce RTX 5060 GPU is a disaster - OC3DBenchmarks Summary

  • Compared to RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB:
    • 15–20% faster at 1080p and 1440p raster.
    • Slight improvement in ray tracing, but less than expected.
  • Compared to Intel Arc B580:
    • B580 is much cheaper and only ~20% behind in most tests — great value if you can handle Intel’s driver quirks.
  • Compared to RTX 4070 Super:
    • Falls ~23% behind, which is disappointing since you’d expect it to catch up or even surpass it in some metrics.
  • Overall: Decent uplift over 4060 Ti, but not groundbreaking, and certainly not worth upgrading from a 4070 or 4070 Super.

        Build Quality & Use Case

  • Great fit for 1080p gaming, acceptable for 1440p, but not ideal for heavy ray tracing or high-res workloads.
  • No RGB, simple aesthetics, stealthy power design.
  • Good thermal solution and build from PNY.
  • Best laptop under 60,000 in 2025

  • For Upgraders from GTX 10-series or RX 500-series: It’s a decent step forward.
  • For 30-series or 40-series owners: Not worth it — wait for next-gen or better deals.
  • For Budget Builders: Intel Arc B580 offers fantastic value if you’re OK with some driver inconsistencies.
  • Marketing Claims? Wildly misleading — DLSS + frame gen inflates numbers that don’t reflect native gameplay.
