NVIDIA has introduced its much-anticipated “60-class” RTX Blackwell GPUs, beginning with the RTX 5060 Ti, which promises better performance at a budget-friendly price. The launch has stirred interest, with gamers eager to get their hands on this new mid-range gem. Here’s what’s happening with the initial retail availability.
Despite NVIDIA keeping the RTX 5060 series under wraps until the last moment, the company has now “soft-launched” the RTX 5060 Ti with 8GB and 16GB varieties. Those looking to explore this new GPU should act fast, as the initial frenzy has already affected stock levels across retailers.
Newegg is one of the key places where enthusiasts can find a range of options for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. However, it seems prices are already soaring above the suggested retail prices, reflecting a significant demand. Here’s a look at some of the offerings at Newegg, all of which were out of stock at the time of our check:
– ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB – $419.99
– ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB – $419.99
– ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB – $479.99
– ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB – $472.99
– ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB – $479.99
The complete absence of stock suggests either a massive demand or an inadequate launch supply. Historically, NVIDIA’s approach to 60-class series has seen limited units initially; thus, this situation isn’t entirely unexpected. As for our friends in the UK, Overclockers UK lists several RTX 5060 Ti models from Palit, Gainward, and Inno3D, although these are not yet available to purchase.
The rush for the RTX 5060 Ti on its launch day underscores the excitement surrounding it, and we anticipate inventory levels will stabilize moving forward. Major retailers such as MicroCenter and BestBuy are expected to follow suit with their listings soon. Stay tuned for updates as we track the availability and pricing of this exciting new GPU!
