Skytech RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC: $1,249.99 Starting Price

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was unveiled on April 16, marking its entry as the most budget-friendly Blackwell GPU available. However, its launch turned out to be a "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and only available at significantly marked-up prices. On the brighter side, if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There are plenty of affordable options, particularly from Skytech on Amazon. Starting at $1,249.99, these prebuilt PCs offer a compelling price point for a current-generation gaming rig capable of handling 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The RTX 5060 Ti, succeeding the RTX 4060 Ti, boasts a performance increase of approximately 15%-20% in gaming. This improvement surpasses that of the RTX 5070 compared to its predecessor, the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, and with DLSS 4 enabled, it can comfortably handle 1440p gaming as well. While the RTX 5070 offers superior performance, prebuilt systems equipped with it start at a much higher price range of $1,700-$1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more cost-effective choice for gamers targeting 1440p or lower resolutions.

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

"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed tradition of the XX60 Ti series, delivering smooth and relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it significantly enhances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates beyond what the 40 series achieved.

Consequently, we can consider the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 series graphics cards, and it currently stands as the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers looking to play at 1440p."
