• Nvidia RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs have supposedly been pushed again
• The speculation is they’re launching a month later than beforehand thought, in mid-April and mid-Might
• Even that launch timeframe isn’t set in stone, and the rumor mill reckons additional delays aren’t off the desk

Nvidia’s RTX 5060 graphics playing cards will not be touchdown on cabinets as quickly as we thought, primarily based on the newest churning from the rumor mill.

VideoCardz brings information of a theoretical delay of round a month, courtesy of the Board Channels discussion board over in China (as flagged by HXL on X). Nonetheless, we should keep in mind that the earlier launch schedule was only a rumor, and any delay is simply that – a theoretical pushing again of what would possibly solely have been a pencilled-in launch (or reveal) date.

These previous rumors floated the concept Nvidia was going to launch the RTX 5060 Ti GPU in March, and probably the RTX 5060 vanilla GPU in April (or thereabouts). Different hypothesis steered a mid-March announcement (which clearly didn’t occur).

Now, the speculation is that the RTX 5060 Ti (each rumored 16GB and 8GB flavors) has been put again to mid-April, and the vanilla RTX 5060 is predicted to reach in mid-Might.

There’s an added warning that these graphics playing cards could possibly be pushed again additional, as these are simply tough timeframes – not particular launch dates. That signifies this purported plan from Nvidia isn’t but set in stone, and is simply a sign of launch timing for now.

Evaluation: A plausible sufficient situation

If there’s a hold-up right here – and I have to emphasize the if – then what could possibly be the rationale? Nicely, it’s definitely plausible that Nvidia wants extra time to get its act collectively when it comes to guaranteeing that there’s sufficient RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti inventory for a strong launch. Versus the shambles of ridiculously skinny availability that has been the hallmark of the Blackwell era of GPUs to this point.

The primary level to think about right here relating to the believability issue for this obvious delay is that there’s been chatter from the GPU grapevine for some time that Nvidia has been pushing again RTX 5060 fashions (earlier than this newest rumor), on account of working into numerous points – and that has been coupled with predictions of restricted provide.

It additionally is sensible that Nvidia would possibly need to take its time to make sure that any of the purported issues are totally ironed out – particularly after the ROPs controversy with RTX 5000 GPUs – and to build up inventory so there’s an honest quantity on cabinets to start with. Staff Inexperienced actually does have to do higher when it comes to getting some goodwill from PC avid gamers, who’re beginning to turn into severely pissed off with the brand new Blackwell GPUs.
