Recent benchmarks for the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB have emerged, revealing performance improvements over its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, with a reported 20% increase in 3DMark scores. This information was initially released by VideoCardz, suggesting the results stem from a reviewer and should be interpreted cautiously as unofficial data.
Launch Details and Specifications
Leaked information indicates that the RTX 5060 Ti will launch on April 16, with both 8GB and 16GB versions expected. The GPU utilizes the GB206-300-A1 core, featuring 4,608 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory interface. It has a total graphics power (TGP) of approximately 180W, which can be supported by a single 8-pin power connector, although some custom models are rumored to require the more advanced 12V-2×6 connector.
Performance Insights
According to the leaked benchmarks, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB shows notable enhancements across specific tests within the 3DMark suite, particularly in Speed Way, Fire Strike Ultra, Port Royal, and Fire Strike Extreme. Additional tests from Geekbench suggest the 5060 Ti is about 14% faster than the previous generation, although performance may vary based on specific applications.
Comparison with Other Models
Despite the gains of the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, it still trails the more powerful RTX 5070 by around 33%, a gap that mirrors trends observed in prior generations. With the anticipated RX 9070 GRE also on the way, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is likely to be priced between $400 and $450.
Market Context and Anticipation
As the release date approaches, the current market shows the RTX 5070 variants available at their manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) in Europe, although they aren’t selling as quickly due to consumers hesitating to upgrade to what might be seen as a minimal improvement over existing models. Enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the official launch of the RTX 5060 Ti and the associated independent benchmarks that will provide deeper insights into its performance.
