GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Leak Hints at Imminent Launch
Rumors about the GeForce RTX 50 line have circulated for a long while. Today, a new teaser indicates something monumental might be approaching. The spotlight is now on the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. This card appears closer to launch than previously thought.
FurMark Spotting: A Potential Sign of Launch
The latest information comes from the FurMark benchmark database. Observers have noted an entry suggesting the RTX 5060 Ti has been tested. NVIDIA has not made any official announcements. However, such appearances often precede a new graphics card release. This could be our first look at the RTX 5060 Ti in action.
Reports link the device ID "10DE-2D04" to NVIDIA's GB206 silicon. Tech insiders believe this silicon is intended for the RTX 5060 Ti. FurMark entries with this ID exist from past months. A recent entry shows the GPU scoring 10,242 points with a stress temperature of 69°C. This performance is notable.
Here's what appears to be a 5060 Ti benchmark. Judging by the score (since this is run at 4k), it appears to sit just under where a 3080 Ti would score.

That aside, I can confirm that the device ID does indeed match a 5060 Ti. Not sure if 16 or 8gb SKU though... pic.twitter.com/HGflctXbDp
Expected RTX 5060 Ti Specifications
What can be expected from this new mid-range graphics card?
- Power Efficiency: The FurMark leak suggests a 180W TDP (Thermal Design Power). This aligns with prior leaks and indicates a power-efficient card, especially compared to higher-end models.
- Memory Options: Rumors point to both 16GB and 8GB VRAM versions of the RTX 5060 Ti. This provides options for different budgets and needs.
- GDDR7 Memory: The GPU is expected to use faster GDDR7 memory with 28 Gbps pin rates. This could mean a significant 55% increase in memory bandwidth over the RTX 4060 Ti. This improvement should enhance performance in demanding games and applications.
Speculated Launch Timing and Pricing
Rumors indicate a potential April 16th launch date for the RTX 5060 Ti. Review embargoes typically end around launch. Mid-April appears to be a likely timeframe. Price rumors suggest:
- RTX 5060 Ti (16GB): Approximately $499
- RTX 5060 Ti (8GB): Approximately $399
These details are currently leaks and rumors. Official information from NVIDIA is pending. However, the FurMark sighting adds credibility to the possibility of an April launch for the RTX 5060 Ti. The coming weeks could be significant for PC gaming enthusiasts.
