HP OMEN Gaming PC Leaks Reveal RTX 5060 Ti Powerhouse (and Price Tag)
PC gamers should grasp their headsets. It seems the much-awaited NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is closer than expected. It could be debuting in a totally new HP OMEN gaming desktop. A new Canadian retailer listing provides an early glimpse at what could be a seriously powerful mid-range gaming machine.
Best Buy Canada Spills the Beans on RTX 5060 Ti OMEN
The rumor mill started spinning when the HP OMEN 16L desktop computer appeared on Best Buy Canada's website. The headline is the not-yet-launched GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. This is not just any 5060 Ti. This model ships with a staggering 16GB of video memory. The listing, while not officially confirmed, gives a peek at rumored specs and the price.
According to the listing, this OMEN 16L spec features:
- The powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (16GB)
- An AMD Ryzen 7 8700F processor
- 16GB of RAM
- A speedy 1TB SSD
The price is listed at $1799.99 (Canadian). The price tag is notable. Time will tell.
HP Confirms the RTX 5060 Ti in Two Flavors
HP's own website seemingly confirms the existence of RTX 5060 Ti-configured OMEN desktops. This adds fuel to the fire. The Best Buy leak showed a 16GB variant. HP's website shows variants with an 8GB RTX 5060 Ti. HP is offering these 8GB variants with processor options:
- AMD Ryzen 7 8700F
- Intel Core i7 14700F
Both HP configurations appear to have specifications like 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD. This suggests a high-performance emphasis across the board.
What to Expect from the RTX 5060 Ti
Official specifications are still under embargo. Rumors suggest the RTX 5060 Ti will target the sweet spot of 1080p and even 1440p gaming. Rumors indicate:
- Around 4608 CUDA Cores – significant processing muscle.
- Possibly quick GDDR7 VRAM (both 8GB and 16GB).
- A 128-bit memory bus.
- A 180W TDP – reasonable power usage for its class.
The Price Question and Worth
The $1799.99 CAD Best Buy price point is significant. Converted to USD, it remains a substantial amount. OEM pre-built PCs carry a premium. Even factoring that in, the price seems aspirational. The 16GB RTX 5060 Ti may be more costly as a premium mid-range card. Alternatively, this could be early adopter pricing that will adjust later.
The Takeaway: RTX 5060 Ti is Coming via HP OMEN
Regardless of the final cost, these rumors strongly suggest the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is imminent. HP is ready to be among the first to offer it to gamers. The two VRAM options, 8GB and 16GB, are of interest. They may present solutions for different budgets and performance demands. Monitor for official announcements and real-world reviews. These will show if the RTX 5060 Ti is effective and if the price becomes more palatable.
