Skytech RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC Launched at $1,249.99

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card made its much-anticipated debut on April 16, entering the market as the most affordable Blackwell GPU available. Unfortunately, it was another "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often accompanied by significant markups. However, if you're in the market for a complete prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There's a wide selection of prebuilt gaming PCs available, and they come at reasonable prices. The two most budget-friendly options we've encountered are both Skytech models available on Amazon, starting at an attractive price of $1,249.99. This price point makes for a compelling offer for a current-generation gaming rig capable of handling 1080p and 1440p resolutions.

The RTX 5060 Ti, a successor to the RTX 4060 Ti, boasts a performance improvement of approximately 15%-20% in gaming applications. This represents a more significant generational leap than what the RTX 5070 offers over the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, while also being well-equipped to handle 1440p gaming, particularly with the aid of DLSS 4. Although the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems featuring it start at a much higher price range of $1,700 to $1,800. For gamers targeting 1440p or lower resolutions, the extra cost of the RTX 5070 is difficult to justify.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)

"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed XX60 Ti tradition, delivering smooth yet relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. In comparison to the pricier RTX 5070, it offers a more substantial push in native resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates from the previous 40 series.

Consequently, we can confidently label the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 graphics cards, making it the current go-to choice for 1440p gaming on a budget."
