Nvidia RTX 5060 Launches: Should You Wait?

Author : Ethan May 25,2025

Nvidia unveiled the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti back in April 2025, and now, the more budget-friendly RTX 5060 is hitting the market following its showcase at Computex. Priced starting at $299, this GPU packs 3,840 CUDA cores across 30 Streaming Multiprocessors, making it well-suited for 1080p gaming. Nvidia boasts that the RTX 5060 can deliver stellar performance at this resolution, claiming it can achieve 223 fps in Doom: The Dark Ages at 1080p with max settings and 4x multi-frame generation enabled.

The key feature Nvidia is promoting with this new generation of graphics cards is Multi-Frame Generation, and the RTX 5060, despite being the entry-level option, fully supports this technology along with the entire DLSS 4 suite. However, with only 30 Streaming Multiprocessors, there are limits to what DLSS can achieve.

It's important to note that the $299 starting price is just that—a starting point. While some models will be available at this price, many RTX 5060 variants will be pricier, often featuring enhancements like factory overclocking and RGB lighting.

Reviews Are Coming... Later

Even though the RTX 5060 is reasonably priced at $299, it's wise to hold off on purchasing until performance reviews are available. Nvidia's performance claims are impressive, but they're based on tests with Multi-Frame Generation enabled. We won't have a clear picture of its real-world performance until we can test it thoroughly.

Unfortunately, we'll need to be patient as Nvidia isn't providing an early driver to the press, meaning reviews might not be available for the first week or so after the GPU's launch. While the RTX 5060 is expected to be a solid choice for 1080p gaming, the rest of the Blackwell series has faced challenges with generational performance improvements.

It's possible that the RTX 5060 will show a similar performance increase over the RTX 4060 as the RTX 5070 did over its predecessor, particularly in traditional gaming without frame generation. Nvidia claims the RTX 5060 could offer up to double the performance with frame generation enabled, but only about a 20% uplift in games without ray tracing or frame generation—and that's in the best-case scenario.

As with any high-cost tech product, waiting for reviews is advisable to ensure you're getting your money's worth. Rest assured, the reviews are on their way; they'll just take a little longer to appear.
