Nvidia hasn't announced the RTX 5060 yet, but I'm already worried about how the card will perform when it shows up.

Table of Contents Nvidia just finished revealing its range of new RTX 50-series GPUs, the first of which will arrive in just a couple of weeks. They’re some of the best graphics cards ever made, according to Nvidia , and for the flagship RTX 5090 that clocks in at $2,000, I believe the company. Lower down the stack, however, I’m concerned.

Privacy Policy Just as we’ve seen with the GTX 1060, GTX 1660, RTX 2060 Super, RTX 3060, and now the RTX 4060, the RTX 5060 will likely take a top slot among the most popular GPUs. This class of graphics card makes sense for a lot of PC gamers. They arrive around $300, and for generations, they’ve delivered solid gaming performance at 1080p, even in the latest AAA games.

Based on the results, the 8GB RX 7600 was 12% slower at 1080p in rasterized games, and a shocking 30% slower in games with ray tracing. Remember these results are for 1080p, too. At higher resolutions, the gap is even wider, with the RX 7600 dropping nearly half of the performance of the RX 7600 XT at 4K.

It’s possible Nvidia could run the RTX 5060 with a higher memory spec — it did something like that with the wildly popular RTX 3060 — but I’m not holding my breath. Based on what Nvidia has revealed so far, 8GB is not only possible on the RTX 5060; I’d wager that it’s likely.
