The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, unveiled on April 16, marks the entry-level Blackwell GPU on the market. Unfortunately, its launch turned out to be another "paper" release, with physical units scarce and often available only at a significant markup. However, for those seeking a prebuilt gaming PC with this new GPU, the outlook is far more promising. A variety of prebuilt gaming PCs equipped with the RTX 5060 Ti are readily available and are priced quite reasonably. Among the most affordable options are the Skytech models found on Amazon, starting at an attractive $1,249.99, making them excellent choices for a current-generation 1080p/1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti, succeeding the RTX 4060 Ti, offers a notable 15%-20% performance boost in gaming. This improvement surpasses the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over its predecessor, the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the top choice for 1080p gaming within the Blackwell series. It also excels at 1440p, particularly when enhanced with DLSS 4 technology. Although the RTX 5070 boasts superior power, prebuilt systems featuring it start at a steeper $1,700-$1,800. For gamers targeting 1440p or lower resolutions, the cost difference is tough to justify.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed tradition of the XX60 Ti series, delivering smooth and budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it significantly enhances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates from the previous 40 series.
Thus, the RTX 5060 Ti can be hailed as one of the most successful RTX 50 series GPUs, emerging as the go-to option for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
