GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB VRAM Card Now $490 on Amazon

If you're on the hunt for a budget-friendly Blackwell graphics card tailored for 1080p gaming, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is your best bet. Make sure to opt for the 16GB variant rather than the 8GB one. Currently, you can snag the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPUs starting at $489.99 from both Amazon and Walmart. While this is higher than the launch price of $429.99 for a reference model, it's a reasonable markup compared to other RTX 50 series cards.

The RTX 5060 Ti is a stellar choice for 1080p gaming, outpacing the RTX 4060 Ti by about 20% and the RTX 3060 Ti by around 40%. It shines even brighter in games utilizing DLSS 4 technology. If you're eyeing the RTX 5070, the cheapest model starts at $609.99, but for 1080p gaming, the extra cost might not be justified unless you're chasing ultra-high frame rates. Always go for the 16GB VRAM model, as the 8GB version can bottleneck performance in newer, more demanding games and at higher resolutions like 1440p.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is an excellent 1080p graphics card, surpassing its last-generation counterparts. It can handle almost any game at maximum settings at 1080p, and in tougher cases like Assassins Creed Shadows, tweaking ray tracing settings can significantly boost performance. However, it's crucial to choose the 16GB version over the 8GB model. The latter may struggle as games become more demanding, which can confuse buyers given both share the same name."

For those planning to game at higher resolutions like 1440p, the GeForce RTX 5070 is the way to go. The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card is available exclusively for Amazon Prime members at $609.99, with free shipping and a voucher for Doom: The Dark Ages. Performance-wise, it's on par with the RTX 4070 Super, though we hoped for a more significant generational leap. However, with DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, the RTX 5070 outperforms the RTX 4070 Super and is more future-proof, benefiting from ongoing driver optimizations.
