TECH NEWS – It seems that Nvidia is indeed not sticking to its late March release plans, as the next Blackwell cards will be released later.

Nvidia also plans to release graphics cards for the mainstream category. This includes the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, which will be available in 16 and 8 GB form factors. These are now rumored to be available from mid-April. On Twitter, @wxnod reported when the GPU with the already known specs will be available: he wrote that it will be available from 9pm on April 16th (this could be the 17th due to lack of time zone), and that both the 16 and 8 gig cards will be available to customers from that date.

5060Ti will be released on April 16th at 9pm, along with 8GB and 16GB

The original plan was for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB variant to be released around the end of March, with the 8GB model coming in April along with the base RTX 5060 (which will also have 8GB of VRAM and the same GDDR7). However, plans may have changed as the launch has indeed been delayed… presumably to squeeze more money out of impatient gamers by investing in more expensive cards. This means that gamers waiting for sub-$500 options in the US will have to wait at least another month to get their hands on the new cards, so MAYBE there won’t be a price hike over the MSRP like with the other new cards… but we wouldn’t bet on it.

The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is already known to use the GB206-300-A1 GPU with 4608 CUDA cores and 128-bit memory bus. Thanks to the faster GDDR7 pin speed of 28Gbps, the card will offer a total bandwidth of 448GB/s (a 55% increase over the RTX 4060 Ti). The TDP will be 180W, which is 20W higher than the RTX 4060 Ti.

The RTX 5060 Ti will be followed by the RTX 5060 and the RTX 5050, which will also be available as a desktop graphics card and will only use Nvidia’s GDDR6.
