NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 is a mid-range desktop graphics card utilizing the GB206 chip based on the Blackwell architecture. The 5060 offers 8 GB GDDR7 graphics memory with a 128-bit memory bus.

Thanks to the bump in dedicated RT/CUDA cores and new architecture, the card is expected to offer better performance compared to the previous RTX 4060. The RTX 5060 is expected to be one of the fastest mid-range GPUs in 2025.

According to rumored specs, the GB206 chip is manufactured in the modern 4N FinFET process at TSMC and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 160 Watts (45 W higher than RTX 4060).

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is a mid-range desktop graphics card utilizing the GB206 chip based on the Blackwell architecture. The 5060 Ti offers 16 GB GDDR7 graphics memory with a 128-bit memory bus. Notoriously, the model has more VRAM compared to the higher-end RTX 5070, although with a lesser bus width of 128 bits. 

Thanks to the bump in dedicated RT/CUDA cores and new architecture, the card is expected to offer better performance compared to the previous RTX 4060 Ti. The RTX 5060 Ti is expected to be among the faster graphics cards in 2025 and, presumably will deliver good performance at elevated resolution.

According to rumored specs, the GB206 chip is manufactured in the modern 4N FinFET process at TSMC and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 200 Watts (40 W higher than RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB).

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is a powerful desktop graphics card utilizing the GB203 chip based on the Blackwell architecture. The model offers 8960 CUDA cores, and 16 GB GDDR7 graphics memory with a 256-bit memory bus (896 GB/s). The base clock of the GPU (reference model) is specified at 2.30 GHz, while the boost clock can reach 2.45 GHz.

Architecture

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti features new Tensor (5th Gen) and RT-cores (4th Gen), with 1406 AI TOPS and 133 TFLOPS performance respectively. Blackwell architecture is the first to feature the new DLSS 4 Multi Frame generation, which, thanks to enhanced AI capabilities can generate more frames per second while using less memory and delivering better picture quality. Nvidia also managed to improve the performance and output quality of DLSS, Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction features (also available for the previous RTX 4000 series). Additionally, the new models now support Reflex 2 low latency mode and Frame Warp.

Performance

Thanks to the new Tensor and RT-cores, as well as some bump in CUDA cores, the card is promised (by Nvidia) to offer as much as 2x better performance compared to the previous RTX 4070 Ti (thanks to the new DLSS 4 MFG feature). According to Nvidia's presentation, even the lower-end RTX 5070 can reach the performance level of the RTX 4090. But this comparison was done using DLSS4 with 4x Multi-Frame-Generation.

According to our own tests, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is some 5% slower than the RTX 4080 Super and Radeon RX 7900 XTX in the benchmarks, but the situation is different in games. With the 4K resolution, the 5070 Ti is 2% faster than the RX 7900 XTX, and at least 3% behind the 4080 Super. Using the 1080p/2K resolution brings slightly different results: 7900 XTX and 5070 Ti are on the same level, while RTX 4080 Super is 10-11% faster.

Power consumption

According to Nvidia, the GB203 chip is manufactured using the modern 4N FinFET process at TSMC and is specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 300 watts (15 W higher than RTX 4070 Ti). Nvidia now also specifies maximum GPU temperature, which is stated at 88 ℃ for RTX 5070 Ti. The model also requires at least 750W PSU.
