NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 TI 16 GB Review: versatile, which is better

Published:

If the PC played were home, chairs, tables and at least one puffe would be made of NVIDIA XX60 graphics cards. No other GPU line is so much compilation or hours of play, although the fact that we love them so much, does not hurt him when they go astray. As the 16 GB RTX 4060 Ti version did it when it started for $ 499.

This time, RTX 5060 Ti still receives separate flavors of 8 GB and 16 GB, but Nvidia remembered that yes, it is still supposed to be a middle class card. Thus: price reductions, with the 8 GB model starts from $ 349 /379, and 16 GB from rapidly dropped by 399 GBP / 429 USD. The update of the Gen-on-Gen speed is only moderate, although between this cost cutting, the DLSS 4 and Multi Rame Generation (MFG) option and WAT performance, which already beats an productive 4060 Ti, still states that this is a reasonably attractive fresh complement to the GeForce dynasty.

I browse here the 16 GB version or to be more precise, Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Twin Edge. As for the reminder, it is a great bit of building cards of another company, which is almost disturbingly silent under load despite the GPU temperatures only at a temperature of 61 ° C. The employ of the total standard standard power supply connector also indicates the economical energy needs of RTX 5060 Ti, with 8 GB versions, as well absorbent adapters.

In fact, I barely approached this maximum at all hours of the game and the comparative RTX 5060 Ti. Instead, it reached the peak in just 155 during the thrilling Cyberpunk 2077 session, which is actually just below the peak power of 157 W, I was heading at my 8 GB RTX 4060 Ti. If the performance and cooling are the basis of your GPU hierarchy, it is worth waiting until May to see how RTX 5060 RTX RTX 5060 also, but good on RTX 5060 TI for exaggerating its direct predecessor about what is-Lub was-one of his greatest forces.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Review: 1440p benchmarks

RTX 5060 Ti continues the great elderly tradition of the XX60 Ti glossy, but relatively amiable budget of 1440p efficiency. And next to the more high-priced RTX 5070 makes more effort pushes native-chain, pre-dlss is the attacker from the time of series 40.

Averaged in all seven games 16 GB RTX 5060 TI works about 19% faster than 8 GB RTX 4060 Ti, which is permissible (if not terribly dramatic) improvement. It may also be an unfair comparison, were it not for the fact that 16 GB RTX 4060 Ti is, according to all accounts, just faster than the 8 GB version. Hence the aforementioned injury.

It also raises the question of whether 8 GB RTX 5060 Ti is also a better offer and I regret that I didn’t have time to get them on these charts. However, I suspect that now, when the 16 GB version imposes much less financial burdens, an additional VRAM can make it valuable. Over the past two years, higher -speed games become very hungry for memory, and especially at 1440p, having a larger buffer can assist more than in 2023.

In any case, you also look at a significant enhance in performance from RTX 3060 TI-Dobra message, if you completely omitted the RTX 40-and generation again, this update for cotton wool performance is nothing. As an option SUB-500 £ for rapid 1440p, so RTX 5060 Ti provides, often without having to resort to growth.

Having said, DLSS 4 remains the best of a kind. FSR 4 AMD introduces encouraging improvements, but for my eyes it still does not match DLSS sharpness. In terms of straightforward numbers, the support of MFG RTX 5060 Ti allows him to move much further from 4060 TI when generating frames is involved.

I don’t really support tracking the path to RTX 5060 Ti in this resolution-it will support the usual tracking of the radius with just a section that increases DLSS, but no one should buy the most newfangled GPU just to sit about 30 frames per second. Nevertheless. This graphic processor reaches overall stomach, in which the RTX 40 ranks are not, and thanks to 4x MFG it is able to double their best shows. It was with a lot of input delay added, so if you fancy a frame, I recommend reducing quality settings. This will assist protect the supply of “real” frames, which in turn will assist reduce delay jumps.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Review: 1080p benchmarks

As you can hope, RTX 5060 Ti is conveniently equipped for the service of maximumness, native games in full HD. The average enhance in performance compared to RTX 4060 Ti slightly contains contracts up to 18%, but it is still more significant and consistent update than RTX 5070 is over RTX 4070 great.

After saying, the last generation model almost does not kick their ribs, and because both GPU often meet in the same area of ​​80 frames per second, sometimes it is more tough to see the difference than on 1440p. However, this changes when you start hitting really high -class visual options.

Staying above 40 frames per second in both games, RTX 5060 Ti probably becomes the first XX60 card, which will really cope with tracking paths. In particular, from Alan Wake 2, a noticeable difference in smoothness between 36FPS 4060 Ti and 43 frames per second of the fresh model, because these types of frames are (in contrast to the raster results above) much below the point where the reducing phrases spoil the fun. Despite the strangely narrow 4x MFG result in the same game, the stronger monastery base makes 5060 Ti better to generate frames.

I would still like to see how RTX 5060 without TI-Ti-Ti-Ti-Bez distinguishes on 1080p before parting with any cash-Limit VRAM 8 GB begins to look a little old-fashioned, but it is still fine with 1080p platforms, which do not mind switching to 1440p in the near future. And I still take RTX 5060 TI over its immediate rivals: in addition to RTX 4060 TI delaying both straightforward performance and watt performance, Intel Arc B580 is much cheaper, but much slower. AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT gives an encouraging first look – I only have the results of a comparative test from the elderly RPS test set, which is why it is not on these charts, but at 1080p it had an average of 121 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 and 107 FPS in Metro Exodus. However, he lacks the support of FSR 4, which is currently exclusive to the latest GPU RX 9000, leaving it without convincing consolation reward for giving up DLSS 4.

That is why we can hand over RTX 5060 TI as one of the more successful RTX 50 graphics cards and the current de facto choice for – at least – 1440p with a narrow budget. This particular ZOTAC model is also a convincing case, impressive on thermal and silence, even when maintaining the basic price of GPU 16 GB 399 GBP.

In any case in Great Britain. Of course, Elephant in the room is the impending influence of American tariffs on computer equipment. There is no exemption from smartphones for graphics cards, so it would be disturbing, but it was not surprising if RTX 5060 Ti suddenly became more high-priced in the United States. It would actually make it more tough to sell – although I suppose that because all other alternatives would suffer from the same fate, there would be a kind of equality of misery.
