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

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was officially launched on April 16, marking its entry as the most affordable Blackwell GPU on the market. However, the launch turned out to be a "paper" release, with retail units scarce and often available only at a significant markup. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There's a good selection of reasonably priced options available. Two of the most budget-friendly models we've come across are from Skytech, available on Amazon, starting at just $1,249.99. This makes for an excellent deal 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 offers a performance boost of about 15%-20% in games. This improvement is more significant than the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti is the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, and it can also manage 1440p gaming, particularly when using DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems featuring it start at $1,700-$1,800, making the price difference tough to justify for gaming at 1440p or below.

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 relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it makes a more significant effort to improve native-resolution, pre-DLSS framerates from the previous 40 series.

Thus, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as one of the more successful RTX 50 series graphics cards, and it's currently the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
