Based on information from VideoCardz, NVIDIA plans to show off new RTX 5060 graphics cards tomorrow. The company already told select media outlets about the launch today. Buyers will see two main desktop versions hitting stores: the RTX 5060 and its stronger sibling, the RTX 5060 Ti. These releases match exactly what industry insiders leaked last week.
Gamers can choose between three different models when shopping: the RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB memory, the RTX 5060 Ti with 8 GB memory, or the standard RTX 5060. All these cards look almost identical because they share the same board design and core GPU chip. This lets manufacturers create Ti and regular versions that appear nearly the same on store shelves. The cards need between 150 and 180 watts of power to run properly.
The RTX 5060 Ti has 4608 CUDA cores, which is only 6% more than the previous RTX 4060 Ti. The biggest upgrade is memory speed, thanks to the new GDDR7 technology. These chips might deliver over 50% faster data transfers compared to older cards, especially if NVIDIA keeps the expected 28 Gbps memory speed across all versions.
The basic RTX 5060 features 3840 CUDA cores paired with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. NVIDIA boosted the core count by 25% from earlier models and upgraded the GPU class from AD107 (XX7) to GB206 (XX6). The smaller GB207 chip stays reserved for the cheaper RTX 5050 that comes later. Sources say these cards will reach stores during April. NVIDIA timed this announcement just before the Game Developers Conference starts next week.
Every model keeps the same 128-bit memory connection as earlier versions but moves data much faster. The new cards push 448 GB/s compared to just 288 GB/s for old Ti models and 272 GB/s for standard ones. This speed boost happens entirely because NVIDIA switched to GDDR7 memory technology for the first time in consumer cards.
