The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was introduced on April 16 as the most affordable Blackwell GPU on the market. Unfortunately, it faced a "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often available only at a significant markup. However, for those seeking a prebuilt gaming PC with this new GPU, the outlook is far more promising. Not only are there numerous prebuilt gaming PCs readily available, but they are also reasonably priced. The two most budget-friendly options we've spotted are Skytech models available on Amazon, starting at $1,249.99, offering great value for a current-generation 1080p/1440p gaming rig.

The RTX 5060 Ti is the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti and offers a performance boost of approximately 15%-20% in games. This uplift is more significant than that seen with the RTX 5070 compared to the RTX 4070. From a value perspective, the RTX 5060 Ti is the top choice for 1080p gaming and is also fully capable of handling games at 1440p, especially with DLSS 4 enabled. While the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems with it start at a much higher price point of $1,700-$1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more economical choice for gaming 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 makes a more significant effort to push forward native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates from the previous 40 series.
Thus, the RTX 5060 Ti can be regarded as one of the more successful RTX 50 series graphics cards and is currently the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
