TECH NEWS – It looks like Nvidia is skipping the 50’s category again, so once again we’ll only find these GPUs in laptops.
According to a graphics card manufacturer, ChainTech (Colorful), Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture entry-level cards, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060, will be available in March. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 have been available since January 30th, and the RTX 5070 cards will hit stores in February, so the release schedule we’ve heard before hasn’t been changed by the greens. The 5090 is already out of stock, and the RTX 5080 will be discussed separately later today, as it received some pretty heavy criticism from someone.

The lower availability is mostly due to the Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year), when GPU factories also close. We don’t know yet if the RTX 5070 will be affected by this issue. The RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 will use the GB206 GPU core on the PG152 board. Both cards have a 128-bit bus interface, similar to the RTX 4060. Both cards will have GDDR7 VRAM at up to 28Gbps (they may have tweaked it slightly to lower power consumption) and bandwidth will be 448GB/s (55/65% higher than the RTX 4060 Ti/4060 pair). The RTX 5060 Ti will be available in 16GB and 8GB versions, but there won’t be a significant performance difference between the two. However, more VRAM will be beneficial in the long run due to the increasing demand for AAA games, and already benefits from 1440p resolution or higher.
The RTX 5060 will be available with only 8 GB of VRAM. It’s likely that Nvidia will change the specs here, but that may come later as more of the higher-capacity VRAM is produced. This game will be better suited for 1080p. The Intel Arc Battlemage B580 has 12 GB of VRAM, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT has 16 GB… and rumor has it that AMD will use 8 GB for the entry-level RX 9000 graphics cards.
The price will decide if it’s good or not.
