The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was unveiled on April 16 as the most budget-friendly Blackwell GPU currently available. However, it was met with disappointment as a "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often subject to significant markups. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. A variety of reasonably priced options are readily available, particularly from Skytech on Amazon. The two most affordable models start at just $1,249.99, offering a compelling deal for a current-generation 1080p/1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti is a step up from the RTX 4060 Ti, providing a 15%-20% boost in gaming performance. This improvement is more significant than the leap from the RTX 4070 to the RTX 5070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, and it's also well-suited for 1440p gaming, particularly with DLSS 4 activated. While the RTX 5070 offers greater power, prebuilt systems with this card start at a hefty $1,700-$1,800, making the price premium difficult to justify for gamers focused on 1440p or lower resolutions.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the tradition of delivering smooth and relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it pushes native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates further ahead than its predecessors in the 40 series.
As such, the RTX 5060 Ti can be considered one of the more successful entries in the RTX 50 lineup, positioning it as the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
