• Nvidia’s unannounced RTX 5060 Ti has a benchmark leak revealing its efficiency leap over the RTX 4060 Ti
• It’s reportedly as much as 14% quicker utilizing the Vulkan graphics rendering API
• It is anticipated to be cheaper than its predecessor however might face inflation contemplating the present GPU market development

We’re nonetheless awaiting an official announcement of Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti GPU, which has had a number of rumors and leaks crop up not too long ago. Nevertheless, a brand new leak has given us contemporary perception into expectations concerning its efficiency.

As highlighted by Wccftech, a brand new Geekbench 6 leak signifies that the RTX 5060 Ti is as much as 14% quicker than its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti. These benchmarks had been completed in each OpenCL and Vulkan: the latter is a well-liked graphics rendering API used throughout a number of video games, and the upcoming Blackwell GPU scored a formidable 140,147 factors utilizing it.

As evident within the benchmark outcomes, the RTX 4060 Ti scored 122,534 factors in Vulkan, making its successor 13% quicker – and whereas this is probably not a big margin, the brand new GPU is presupposed to be the cheaper choice with each 16GB and 8GB fashions.

It is also value noting that every one RTX 5000 collection GPUs have the benefit of Nvidia’s new Multi-Body Technology over the earlier gen, granting a greater body interpolation (extra AI-generated frames in between authentic rendered frames) expertise. It actually is not good, particularly with latest driver issues, however the function will come in useful for avid gamers as soon as all is again in form once more.

The rumored 16GB VRAM capability could also be a baffling one: the RTX 5070 (which is the upper tier GPU) presents 12GB of VRAM with a 192-bit reminiscence bus, whereas the RTX 5060 Ti, is predicted to have 16GB of VRAM with a 128-bit reminiscence bus. It is complete hypothesis, however the VRAM variations could possibly be as a result of reminiscence bus variations, with the RTX 5070’s 192-bit reminiscence bus having significantly better reminiscence bandwidth and subsequently with the ability to handle with solely 12GB of VRAM.

Nevertheless, none of those rumors will change the truth that the GPU market is arguably in its worst state ever. So, even when the RTX 5060 Ti finally ends up cheaper than its predecessor, there isn’t any assure it would keep at retail value.

None of this will likely be related, if the RTX 5060 Ti cannot keep at launch value

No matter its potential efficiency leap over its earlier gen counterpart, the worth of the RTX 5060 Ti would be the dealbreaker for a lot of finances avid gamers: I am not solely referring to its launch value – and I am hoping the rumored $429 / round £330 / round AU$687 is correct – however the value of third-party companion playing cards bought throughout a number of retailers.

Each Nvidia’s and AMD’s new GPU lineups have been met with heavy scrutiny, as practically none of those GPUs can be found to buy at retail value. This had been taking place lengthy earlier than Trump’s newest tariffs got here into impact, on account of low inventory and excessive demand – so the probabilities of this development persevering with with the RTX 5060 Ti are very excessive.
