The RTX 5060 will reportedly launch in May
While Nvidia announced specs and pricing for the RTX 5060 at the same time as the RTX 5060 Ti, the standard edition graphics card has not yet been made available. That should change in a few weeks’ time.
According to Videocardz the RTX 5060 will launch on the 19th of May and board partners have been given updated embargo details. If true, we should start hearing more about the RTX 5060 in the weeks ahead. This graphics card is set to be the new entry point to the RTX 50 line-up, with prices starting at $299.
In the table below, you can see RTX 5060 specs, compared with previous-gen RTX x60 series GPUs, as well as the RTX 5060 Ti.
