NVIDIA is set to introduce the GeForce RTX 5060 by May 19. This new addition boasts an 8 GB GDDR7 VRAM configuration that runs at an impressive 28 Gbps on a 128-bit memory bus. With a significant 35W TDP increase compared to the RTX 4060, it promises more power. Highlights of the RTX 5060 include a 25% boost in CUDA Cores, unchanged memory capacity, faster GDDR7 memory offering 28 Gbps, a 64% increase in bandwidth, and a 30% higher power rating.
Meanwhile, AMD is also stepping up with the Radeon RX 9060 XT, expected to be unveiled at Computex on May 21. Retail availability might extend into June. This GPU will feature the Navi 44 die on a 128-bit bus with both 8GB and 16GB configurations, akin to NVIDIA’s offerings.
