The video reviews the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, highlighting its performance improvements over the GTX 1060 and 4060 Ti, with gains of 13% to 27% at 1440p and significant advancements over the 3060 Ti. The reviewer critiques NVIDIA’s exaggerated marketing claims and emphasizes the importance of pricing and market conditions, suggesting potential buyers consider alternatives in the used market due to uncertainty in availability and competition from AMD’s upcoming GPUs.
The video provides a comprehensive review of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, comparing its performance against various GPUs, including the GTX 1060, 4060 Ti, and others. The reviewer notes that the 5060 Ti shows a performance improvement of 13% to 27% over the 4060 Ti at 1440p, with most benchmarks indicating a typical uplift of around 20-25%. At 1080p, the performance gain ranges from 11% to 24%, with an average improvement of about 18-20%. The 5060 Ti also outperforms the older 3060 Ti by 16% to 39% at 1440p, depending on the game, showcasing significant generational advancements.
The review emphasizes the importance of pricing, with the 5060 Ti launching at an MSRP of $430 for the 16 GB variant and $380 for the 8 GB model. However, the reviewer expresses concern about the actual market prices, which may differ significantly from the MSRP due to current supply chain issues and market conditions. The video also highlights the potential competition from AMD’s upcoming RX 9060 series and the existing RX 7800 XT and 7700 XT, which could impact the 5060 Ti’s value proposition.
Benchmark results are presented for various games at different resolutions, revealing that the 5060 Ti performs comparably to the RTX 3070 Ti and RX 7800 XT in many scenarios. For instance, in Final Fantasy 14 at 4K, the 5060 Ti achieves a 54 FPS average, outperforming the 4060 Ti significantly. At 1440p, it reaches 104 FPS, tying closely with the 3070 Ti and showing a notable lead over the 3060 Ti. The reviewer also discusses the performance of the 5060 Ti in ray tracing scenarios, where it demonstrates improvements over previous generations, although not to the extent claimed by NVIDIA.
The video critiques NVIDIA’s marketing claims, particularly the assertion that the 5060 Ti is 50 times better than the GTX 1060. The reviewer argues that such claims are exaggerated and not supported by actual performance metrics. Instead, the 5060 Ti shows a more realistic improvement of around 236% over the GTX 1060 in practical benchmarks. The review also touches on the efficiency of the new card, noting that it offers better performance per watt compared to older models.
In conclusion, the reviewer emphasizes the uncertainty surrounding the pricing and availability of the 5060 Ti, suggesting that potential buyers consider the used market for alternatives. The video encourages viewers to weigh their options carefully, especially given the upcoming AMD releases and the fluctuating GPU market. The reviewer plans to revisit the 5060 Ti’s value proposition once more information about pricing becomes available, highlighting the ongoing challenges in the GPU landscape.
