The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was unveiled on April 16, marking its entry as the most budget-friendly Blackwell GPU on the market. Despite the excitement, it faced a disappointing "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often available only at inflated prices. However, if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. Not only are there numerous options available, but they are also reasonably priced. The two most affordable models we've spotted are from Skytech, listed on Amazon, starting at just $1,249.99. This represents an excellent deal for a cutting-edge 1080p/1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti, a successor to the RTX 4060 Ti, offers a significant 15%-20% performance boost in games. This improvement is even more impressive compared to the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 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 adept at handling games at 1440p, particularly with the aid of DLSS 4. Although the RTX 5070 is more powerful, the cost of a prebuilt system with this card ranges from $1,700 to $1,800. For gamers targeting 1440p or lower resolutions, the price difference is difficult to justify.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the tradition of the XX60 Ti series, delivering smooth and budget-friendly performance at 1440p. When compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it provides a noticeable advancement in native resolution frame rates, even before the application of DLSS, surpassing the performance of the previous 40 series.
Thus, we can confidently recommend the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the standout RTX 50 series graphics cards, and it's currently the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for 1440p gaming."
