Skytech RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC Launched at $1,249.99

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, which debuted on April 16, marks the entry-level offering in the Blackwell GPU lineup. However, it faced a "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often accompanied by significant markups. Fortunately, for those in search of a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, the outlook is much more promising. Not only are these systems readily available, but they also come at reasonable prices. The most affordable options we've spotted are from Skytech on Amazon, starting at just $1,249.99. This price point offers excellent value for a current-generation gaming rig capable of handling 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The RTX 5060 Ti is the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti and delivers a performance boost of approximately 15%-20% in games. This improvement is notably better than the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 compared to the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, yet it's also robust enough for 1440p, particularly when utilizing DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 offers greater power, prebuilt systems with this GPU start at a hefty $1,700 to $1,800. For gamers focused on resolutions up to 1440p, the RTX 5060 Ti offers a compelling alternative without the steep price premium.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)

"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed XX60 Ti tradition of delivering smooth yet budget-friendly 1440p performance. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it makes a more substantial effort to advance native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates beyond those of the 40 series.

We can therefore consider the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 series graphics cards, and the current go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p gaming."
