Arguably essentially the most dependable GPU data leaker of all of them, Kopite7kimi, has dropped a load of specs for Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5050, RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti GPUs. And the RTX 5060 really seems prefer it may be half respectable. Well, it may very well be relying on how a lot it should value and should you can really purchase one at a non-inflated worth.
Let’s kick off with that RTX 5060, which may very well be introduced as quickly as March 13. Kopite7kimi says it should rock 3,840 CUDA cores. That’s an affordable 25% enhance in pure core rely over the RTX 4060’s 3,072 cores. You may anticipate a little bit of a clock velocity soar, too, and Kopite7kimi says the cardboard will use GDDR7 for a bandwidth step. Add all of it up and if this unofficial leak is correct the RTX 5060 may find yourself in extra of 30% faster than the RTX 4060.

As this era of Nvidia GPUs goes, that will be a really massive enhance, SKU to SKU. But what of the opposite rumoured RTX 50 GPUs? Perhaps inevitably, the RTX 5060 Ti is alleged to be much less spectacular.
Kopite7kimi says it should get 4,608 CUDA cores, up simply 6% over the RTX 4060 Ti’s 4,352 cores. The fundamental influence of all that could be a a lot smaller hole between the ’60 and ’60 Ti variants this time round. And that in flip may properly make the non-Ti GPU the choose for this era, relying on pricing.
For the RTX 40-series, the RTX 4060 was MSRP’d at $299, the RTX 4060 Ti was $399 and the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB was $499. If we dare hope that Nvidia goes with $299 for the non-Ti RTX 5060, then you could possibly be taking a look at a GPU with RTX 4060 Ti efficiency for RTX 4060 non-Ti pricing.

Oh, talking of the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, the RTX 5060 Ti is alleged to be as soon as once more out there in each 8 GB and 16 GB variants, with the RTX 5060 non-Ti solely supplied as an 8 GB card. In phrases of MSRPs, the RTX 5070 has been pitched at $549, so it is laborious to think about the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB at $499 given the RTX 5070 presents a really massive soar as much as 6,144 CUDA cores.
But then all types of issues occur within the GPU market that you just may not anticipate. What, then, of the ultimate GPU on this stack, the RTX 5050? That’s a trickier one as there was no RTX 4050 desktop GPU.
Kopite7kimi says the RTX 5050 will get 2,560 CUDA cores, which places it on par with the RTX 4050 laptop computer GPU for core rely. Presumably it should clock a bit increased than a lowest-spec Ada laptop computer chip, however the efficiency with that sort of core rely will clearly be modest.
Again, it should come down to cost. If that mooted RTX 5050 is affordable sufficient, it may very well be an attention-grabbing entry-level GPU. The query is, will or not it’s low-cost sufficient and can you have the ability to purchase it?
As for the way all this matches in with AMD, it has stated that it’s going to launch the brand new Radeon RX 9060 and RX 9060 XT playing cards later this yr. For now, specs like core counts aren’t clear, although the newest rumours recommend the RX 9060 XT will align with the RTX 5060 Ti in having a 128-bit reminiscence bus and being supplied in 8 GB and 16 GB variants.
Overall, the fairly constructive upshot is that there may really be one thing to sit up for within the decrease echelons of the GPU market within the coming months. $300 may purchase you one thing half respectable, fingers crossed…
