Skytech RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC Now Available from $1,249.99

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was unveiled on April 16, marking its entry as the most budget-friendly Blackwell GPU available. However, its launch was somewhat disappointing, characterized as a "paper" launch with scarce availability of actual retail units, often sold at a significant markup. On a brighter note, if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you'll find a more promising landscape. There's a good selection of prebuilt gaming PCs on offer, and they come at reasonable prices. The most affordable options we've spotted are from Skytech, available on Amazon, starting at just $1,249.99. This represents excellent value for a cutting-edge 1080p/1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti is the next step up from the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a performance boost of around 15%-20% in gaming scenarios. This improvement is more significant than the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the top choice among Blackwell GPUs for 1080p gaming, and it's well-equipped to handle 1440p gaming, particularly when utilizing DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 boasts greater power, prebuilt systems with this GPU start at a steep $1,700-$1,800. For gamers aiming for resolutions up to 1440p, the price difference might not be worth it.

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

"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed XX60 Ti legacy by delivering smooth and relatively cost-effective performance at 1440p. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it significantly advances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates from the 40 series era.

Thus, we can confidently label the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful entries in the RTX 50 lineup, making it the go-to option for budget-conscious gamers looking to enjoy 1440p gaming."
