Introduction

This Gamers Nexus video provides a post-launch review of the NVIDIA RTX 5060 GPU. Since NVIDIA did not provide a sample, the reviewers purchased the card themselves, benchmarking its performance across various games and resolutions, comparing it to other GPUs in its price range and previous generations. The review also discusses the card's specifications and analyzes its position within the current GPU market.

Key Takeaways

• The RTX 5060's performance is comparable to the RTX 3070 and GTX 1060, offering improvements over previous generations (RTX 4060, RTX 3060, RTX 2060, and GTX 1060) but generally underperforms the RTX 3070 and RTX 4060 Ti in most tests. The improvement is significant compared to older generations but less impressive against more recent releases.
• The RTX 5060's 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM can be limiting in some games, especially at higher resolutions and with ray tracing enabled. This is a recurring issue highlighted throughout the benchmarks.
• Intel's Arc GPUs (specifically the B580) show some competitiveness in certain benchmarks, particularly against the RTX 5060. While still not consistently outperforming NVIDIA, Intel is making progress.
• AMD's RX 960 XT is expected to be a significant competitor and is mentioned as a reason for price drops in the RTX 5060. The reviewers plan to release a review of the RX 960 XT shortly.
• The RTX 5060's performance varies across different games and resolutions, sometimes outperforming, sometimes underperforming compared to competing cards. The results are inconsistent and highlight the importance of considering specific games and usage cases.
