It’s been a difficult year for the graphics card market, as new entries flood the space only for prices to spiral far beyond advertised MSRPs. In the wake of these unfortunate cirumstances, Prime Day is serving as a welcome course correction for GPUs like Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB.
Finally, it’s possible to pick up this pixel pusher without paying far more than you should. However, there are two distinct models of RTX 5060 Ti 16GB that I recommend you pick up depending on your region.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
“RTX 5060 Ti 16GB brings the power of Blackwell to the mainstream with solid results.” Read our review.
On Amazon US, Asus GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Dual OC is down to $429.99. As an overclocked card, this card usually carries a small premium, inflationary pricing variables aside. However, thanks to a 10% ($50) discount, it hits that MSRP sweet spot many have longed for.
For those shopping on Amazon UK, allow me to direct your attention to MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G Inspire 2X. This model’s actually sitting below UK RRP at £389.99, and is 13% (£60) off according to the storefront’s list price.
Packing 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, this version of RTX 5060 Ti is more than capable of handling higher resolutions, larger textures, and ray traced effects without keeling over. The same isn’t true for the 8GB variant, despite the two cards sharing the same GB206 GPU.
Putting RTX 5060 Ti 16GB to the test in a variety of benchmarks, as shown above, I found it had more than enough grunt to handle particularly demanding rasterised and ray traced workloads at 1080p. While 1440p proves more difficult, it’s nothing that DLSS 4 can’t fix through the application of Super Resolution and/or Frame Generation.
Neither of the models I’m recommending require a 12V-2×6 power connector, instead relying on a single tried and tested 8-pin PCIe header. This is in part due to the relatively power consumption of the GPU, with a relatively modest TDP of 180W, resulting in low system power consumption under load.
The team and I will be fishing out the best Prime Day deals as the sales bonanza continues. Make sure you’re follow Club386 on Google News so you don’t miss out on any savings.
