We're inching ever closer to the rumoured April 16 launch date of the RTX 5060 Ti, and as a result speculation is running rife as to the potential pricing of Nvidia's yet-to-be-unveiled RTX 50-series card.
There's no official word yet as to, well, anything about the RTX 5060 Ti, but according to a post spotted on Board Channels by Videocardz, the pricing is rumoured to be the same as the previous generation RTX 4060 Ti, ie $399 for an 8 GB version and $499 for a 16 GB card.
Compare that to the $549 RTX 5070's 6,144 CUDA cores and 192-bit memory bus and its performance relative to the RX 9070, and you start to see where the problem may lie.
When two mid-range cards are a mere $50 more (at least, on paper) than Nvidia's Ti variant of a budget GPU, and said GPU might not deliver much of a jump in performance over the previous model, then the RTX 5060 Ti looks like a card that may end up being a limited value proposition, to say the least.
Of course, this is all speculation. No pricing, launch dates, or specs have been confirmed, so all we've got to go on is dubious sourcing for now. But as that rumoured launch date looms ever closer, there's a fair bet that retailers and AIBs at the very least might have some idea of what the final MSRP may be.
Last-minute price changes are far from unheard of, though, so we'll just have to wait and see what the pricing ends up being for the RTX 5060 Ti—if it even launches this month at all.
Should the 16 GB variant end up being a $499 GPU, however, and should those CUDA counts prove correct, I reckon Nvidia will have to lean pretty hard on the Multi Frame Generation benefits of the RTX 50-series to shift them in the face of such stiff AMD competition.
