The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, launched on April 16, stands out as the most budget-friendly option in the Blackwell series. However, it faced a "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often marked up significantly. On a brighter note, if you're in the market for a complete prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There's a good selection of reasonably priced prebuilt gaming PCs available, especially on Amazon. The two most affordable options are from Skytech, starting at just $1,249.99, making them an excellent choice for a current-generation gaming rig capable of handling 1080p and 1440p resolutions.

The RTX 5060 Ti, a successor to the RTX 4060 Ti, offers a notable 15-20% performance boost in gaming. This improvement surpasses the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value perspective, the RTX 5060 Ti is the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, and with DLSS 4, it's more than capable of managing games at 1440p. While the RTX 5070 is more powerful, its prebuilt systems start at $1,700-$1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more justifiable choice for those aiming to play at 1440p or below.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)

"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the tradition of delivering smooth yet budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it significantly advances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates from the previous 40 series. Therefore, we can consider the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 graphics cards, and the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
