The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card made its debut on April 16 as the most affordable Blackwell GPU available. Unfortunately, it was another "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often only available with significant markups. However, if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There are numerous options available, and they are surprisingly well-priced. The two most budget-friendly models we've spotted are from Skytech, listed on Amazon, starting at $1,249.99. This is an excellent deal for a current-generation gaming rig designed for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The RTX 5060 Ti is the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti and offers a roughly 15%-20% performance boost in games. This improvement is greater than the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. The RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming in terms of value, but it's also well-suited for 1440p gaming, particularly with DLSS 4 enabled. While the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems with it start at $1,700-$1,800. For gamers focused on 1440p or lower resolutions, the price difference is tough to justify.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti continues the grand tradition of the XX60 Ti series, delivering smooth yet budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it makes a notable effort to push native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates beyond what the 40 series achieved. Therefore, the RTX 5060 Ti can be considered one of the more successful RTX 50 series cards, and the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers targeting at least 1440p gaming."
