The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was unveiled on April 16 as the most budget-friendly option among the new Blackwell GPUs. Unfortunately, it's been another "paper" launch, with retail units scarce and often available only at a significant markup. However, if you're in the market for a complete prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There's a good selection of reasonably priced prebuilt systems on offer. The most affordable options we've spotted are the Skytech models available on Amazon, starting at just $1,249.99—a great deal for a modern 1080p/1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti steps up from the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a performance boost of around 15%-20% in gaming scenarios. This improvement is more significant than the leap from the RTX 4070 to the RTX 5070, making the RTX 5060 Ti the top choice for value-driven 1080p gaming. It's also well-equipped to handle 1440p gaming, especially when enhanced by DLSS 4 technology. While the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems with this GPU start at a much higher price of $1,700-$1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more justifiable choice for gamers sticking to 1440p or lower resolutions.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the tradition of the XX60 Ti series by delivering smooth, budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it significantly improves native resolution framerates from the previous 40 series, even before DLSS comes into play.
Thus, the RTX 5060 Ti can be considered one of the more successful entries in the RTX 50 lineup, and it's the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
