• A brand new leak suggests Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti and non-Ti variant will follow the earlier gen’s 128-bit reminiscence bus
• That is opposite to different RTX 5000 sequence GPUs utilizing greater reminiscence buses
• The rumored use of GDDR7 VRAM would be the largest spotlight over their predecessors

Nvidia is not accomplished with its RTX 5000 sequence GPU lineup but, as its unannounced RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 desktop playing cards are nonetheless on the horizon. Nonetheless, a brand new leak has supposedly uncovered extra of their specs.

As highlighted by VideoCardz, Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 will use a 128-bit reminiscence bus, the identical as their predecessor, in accordance with a leaked transport description. That is totally different from the RTX 5070’s 192-bit reminiscence bus, together with the remainder of the Blackwell GPU lineup, which is vital for bettering VRAM efficiency in GPUs.

Whereas this may increasingly appear disappointing at first look, the leaked specs counsel each GPUs will use GDDR7 reminiscence: the RTX 5060 reportedly has an 8GB VRAM GDDR7 capability, whereas its Ti counterpart may have each 16GB and 8GB GDDR7 choices. As VideoCardz hints, this might turn out to be useful as a possible enhance with a lot greater speeds and bandwidth over their predecessors, which use GDDR6 as a substitute.

It is value taking this with a grain of salt: we all know that the RTX 5060 can be unveiled finally, however there is not any affirmation but on Staff Inexperienced’s finish, so it is value ready for official specs to return to mild.

Finally, these entry-level GPUs and their possibilities of success within the GPU market will possible depend upon pricing. With availability, scalping, and inflation being Nvidia’s principal points with its RTX 5000 sequence launch, the graphics big could have a tough time convincing customers to go for its lineup if the GPUs show troublesome to acquire at retail value.

No matter how good or dangerous the brand new GPUs are, pricing will decide their destiny…

It is a unhappy actuality that PC avid gamers are going through with the GPU market at the moment in disarray – and with latest tariffs combined in with scalping and excessive demand, I doubt it’ll finish any time quickly.

Sadly, it means the RTX 5060 Ti and non-Ti GPUs will possible undergo the identical destiny (particularly in the event that they change into nice choices for price range avid gamers). We have seen third-party playing cards from each Nvidia and AMD promoting above MSRP at a number of retailers; if Staff Inexperienced does not make a reference card for both of the upcoming GPUs, it may very well be a lot worse, as customers can be left solely on the mercy of shops and Nvidia’s manufacturing companions.

PC gaming can already be an costly interest, and all latest hypothesis factors in the direction of this getting worse: in addition to PC {hardware}, we now have recreation costs to fret about too, because of Nintendo’s absurd $80 recreation pricing (no, I will not shut up about this).
