ASUS and PNY have prematurely unveiled their custom GeForce RTX 5060 editions on Best Buy, causing quite a stir in the tech community. With the official NVIDIA launch still a week away at Computex, these listings give gamers and tech enthusiasts an early glimpse of what to expect.
ASUS has rolled out three different models for the RTX 5060. The standout is the TUF Gaming OC edition, which carries a hefty price of $409.99—a significant jump from NVIDIA’s original $299 MSRP. This extra cost suggests a premium feature set, although the exact specifications remain under wraps for now. The basic Prime edition is available at $339, maintaining the standard clock speeds of the Founders Edition. For those looking for a boost in performance, the PRIME RTX 5060 OC is priced at $379.99, promising higher clock speeds, albeit at a steep $80 above the MSRP.
Physical dimensions are a point of interest as well. The TUF Gaming OC is a bulky 3.25-slot card, while the Prime models are slightly slimmer at 2.5 slots, all extending over 300 mm in length. These cards boast a power requirement of 250W despite the RTX 5060’s official rating of 145W, hinting at possible discrepancies or enhancements yet to be confirmed.
On the other hand, PNY’s approach is more straightforward, offering their RTX 5060 Dual-Fan edition at the baseline price of $299.99. However, whether this pricing will hold steady as the launch date approaches remains uncertain.
As the launch date looms on May 19th, enthusiasts are watching closely to see how these price points and specifications evolve. The market dynamics for GPUs are ever-changing, and these early listings have set the stage for an intriguing retail debut. Keep an eye on updates as the official launch nears—it promises to shed light on these tantalizing teasers.
