NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Spotted: Acer Listing Hints at GDDR7 and More
The rumor mill is churning with good reason. It seems NVIDIA's long-gestating GeForce RTX 5060 could be more than a pipe dream. Eagle-eyed hardware enthusiasts have spotted the yet-to-be-released GPU in an Acer pre-build system. This is our first solid glimpse of this potential mid-range monarch.
Acer System Dropped a Clue – and Some Details
This is no longer rumor. A listing for a pre-built Acer PC on retailer EvoPC directly mentions the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060. This is a fairly good sign that the card is imminent. Manufacturers are already gearing up for it. But the listing did more than just verify its existence. It also divulged some delicious specs details.
The listing includes the RTX 5060 with 8GB GDDR7 memory. That is correct – GDDR7. This precisely matches rumors and leaks prior to this. It suggests NVIDIA is including future-generation memory tech on its mid-range card. The listing includes a PCIe x16 interface. Some doubt if this is exactly accurate, considering rumors it might be scaled back to eight lanes. Still, GDDR7 is the news here.
Decoding the Price Tag
The Acer pre-built system in question costs €1,589, or roughly $1,734. Trying to calculate what a single component costs on a pre-built is always going to be a bit of an educated guess. But analysts are speculating that the RTX 5060 in this system could cost in the region of €250 to €350 (or roughly $300 to $400 USD). This would put it squarely as a budget-friendly option in the mass market for GPUs.

Will the RTX 5060 Shake Things Up?
The mid-range GPU market is always a battleground. With AMD's RX 9070 series already making waves, NVIDIA needs a strong contender. The RTX 5060, with its GDDR7 memory and potential performance boost, could be just what they need to reignite the competition in this crucial segment. We will be watching closely to see how this story develops.
