Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Review: They Didn't Want This Out
- The Nvidia RTX 5060, based on the GB206 silicon, features 25% more cores than the previous-gen 4060 and uses 28 Gbps GDDR7 memory for increased bandwidth.
- Priced at $299 (MSRP) with 8 GB VRAM, the RTX 5060 competes against the more expensive 8GB RTX 5060 Ti, offering a single configuration.
- In gaming benchmarks, the RTX 5060 performs similarly to the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 3070 at 1080p and 1440p resolutions across various titles.
- While excelling in esports titles, the RTX 5060 struggles with VRAM limitations in more demanding games, affecting performance at higher resolutions.
- Ray tracing performance is limited on the RTX 5060 due to its power constraints and 8 GB VRAM, lagging behind higher-tier GPUs in modern titles.
- Despite offering decent value for a new GPU purchase, the 8 GB VRAM buffer hampers the RTX 5060's potential in demanding games and future-proofing.
- Critics point out that the RTX 5060, resembling a discounted 4060 Ti, missed the opportunity to deliver substantial upgrades and may not age well.
- The RTX 5060's limited VRAM and performance, coupled with Nvidia's marketing struggles, may deter buyers considering AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9060 XT series.
- The launch of the RTX 5060 by Nvidia has been criticized for missed opportunities and recycling older technology, raising concerns about its long-term competitiveness.
- Overall, the RTX 5060 offers reasonable value at its price point but falls short in delivering significant performance gains and future-proofing due to VRAM limitations.
