NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 have surfaced in shipping manifests, revealing that the GPUs will indeed feature GDDR7 memory and a 128-bit bus interface.
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060s Are Likely To Feature Sub-Par Memory Bus, But The Key Upgrade Lies With The Use Of GDDR7 Memory
Since Team Green has disclosed little about RTX 50 "60-class" GPUs, leaks are the only source of information for us, which is why even a tiny detail matters a lot. Interestingly, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060s with the "PG152" board and GB206 silicon have been spotted at NBD shipping manifests by Videocardz, and they confirm that the variants will indeed feature a 128-bit bus, validating the information we have seen in the past as well. The manifests also confirm three models within the RTX 5060 lineup, including 8GB/16GB configurations of the RTX 5060 Ti.
While the memory bus won't see an update with the newer 60-class GPUs, the major difference in terms of performance will be due to the integration of GDDR7 memory modules, which will bump total bandwidth up to 448 GB/s, offering a 55% boost over the RTX 4060 Ti. So this is where all the extra FPS would come from, although the key factor in the success of the RTX 5060 series release is what kind of perf/$ value we can get out of these GPUs since the budget segment is pretty heated up.
Diving into a quick recap of the RTX 5060 series, the RTX 5060 Ti is set to drop in two VRAM configurations, 8 GB and 16 GB, featuring a TDP rating of 180W. The more budget-friendly RTX 5060 will feature 8 GB GDDR7 memory, featuring 3,840 CUDA cores and a decent generational difference in performance, mainly driven by the advanced memory type. Both GPUs are expected to be released somewhere in mid-April, with $299 for the RTX 5060 and $399/$499 for the RTX 5060 Ti.
