Courtesy of two leaked benchmarks at Geekbench, we have the first test results of Nvidia's budget RTX 5060 Ti, which is rumored to hit shelves on April 16, next week. The tests cover the standard OpenCL and Vulkan APIs and were likely inadvertently made public by a reviewer or tester. In summary, the RTX 5060 Ti demonstrates an up to 14% performance lead over its Ada Lovelace equivalent based on these early test results. While this isn't an awe-inspiring achievement, let's wait for detailed gaming tests from the Tom's Hardware labs, and then weigh the MSRP, real-world prices, and availability.
Early last month, renowned leaker Kopite spilled the beans on the specifications of the RTX 5050 and RTX 5060 family of GPUs. There isn't much to write home about these GPUs except for the standard RTX 5060, which reportedly sees a 25% bump in the shader count, amounting to an estimated 30% performance bump when you also factor in the switch to GDDR7. But don't hold your breath if you expect more than 8GB of VRAM.
