NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Arrives April 16th: Dual Memory Options
The highly anticipated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti has a release date. Mark your calendars for April 16th. Sales begin at 9 PM Hong Kong time.
Two RTX 5060 Ti Models: 8GB and 16GB
NVIDIA will release the RTX 5060 Ti in two distinct memory configurations. Buyers can choose between an 8GB variant and a 16GB variant. Both versions will be available on launch day. This provides options for different budgets and VRAM requirements.
RTX 5060 Launch Delayed to May
The standard RTX 5060 will arrive later. Information on the RTX 5060 will be available from April 15th. However, the RTX 5060 cards will not launch until May. Those seeking the more mainstream option will need to wait.
Reviews Launch Simultaneously with Sales
The RTX 5060 Ti reviews will go live at 9 PM Hong Kong time on April 16th. This is the exact moment the cards become available for purchase. Typically, reviews precede sales. This concurrent launch means consumers will buy the RTX 5060 Ti without pre-release reviews. NVIDIA's approach is unconventional. It presents a unique situation for early adopters.
Traditionally, reviews appear before launch. This allows potential customers to analyze performance data and expert opinions. This simultaneous launch strategy is unusual. Some buyers might feel rushed in their purchase decisions.
MSRP Models Expected at Launch
Reports indicate NVIDIA is requiring board partners to offer at least one RTX 5060 Ti model at the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) upon release. This benefits budget-conscious buyers. However, most models, particularly overclocked versions, are expected to retail at higher prices.
Final Thoughts on RTX 5060 Ti Launch
The RTX 5060 Ti launch is noteworthy. The availability of two memory options offers consumer choice. The simultaneous review and sales launch is an unusual approach. The impact on initial sales remains to be seen. The RTX 5060's May release adds another layer to NVIDIA's mid-range strategy. PC gamers have much to consider as NVIDIA introduces its new contenders.
