The Nvidia GeForce 5060 Ti graphics card made its debut on April 16 as the least expensive Blackwell GPU on the market. Unfortunately, it turned out to be another “paper” launch with actual retail units nowhere to be found, at least without a serious markup. Fortunately, if you’re hunting for a complete prebuilt gaming PC equipped with this new GPU, then your prospects are much brighter. Not only are there plenty of prebuilt gaming PCs currently available, they’re actually reasonably priced as well. The two least expensive models we’ve seen so far are both on Skytech models at Amazon. They start at $1,249.99, which is a solid price for a current-generation 1080p/1440p gaming rig.
Skytech GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PCs From $1,249.99
The RTX 5060 Ti is the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti and delievers a roughly 15%-20% improvement in games. That’s a better generational uplift than the RTX 5070 (over the RTX 4070). This is absolutely the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming from a value perspective, but it’s also fully capable of handling games at 1440p, especially with DLSS 4 enabled. Although the RTX 5070 is noticeably more powerful, an RTX 5070 prebuilt currently costs at least $1,700-$1,800. If you’re planning to run games at 1440p or less, that price premium is hard to justify.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
“The RTX 5060 Ti continues the grand old XX60 Ti tradition of smooth yet relatively budget-friendly 1440p performance. And, next to the pricier RTX 5070, it makes more of an effort push native-rez, pre-DLSS framerates forward from the days of the 40 series.
We can therefore chalk the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 graphics cards, and the current de facto choice for – at the very least – 1440p on a budget.”
