One of the most efficient GPUs ever — no external power connector needed on some AIB models.
Frame generation extends the card's 1080p capabilities.
The RTX 5060 launched at the same $299 price with GDDR7 and DLSS 4 — the 4060 only makes sense used at well below $150.
The 16GB model avoids the 8GB limitation that plagued the base model — still relevant for 1440p gaming.
Very low power draw — works with virtually any modern PSU.
At $429 with GDDR7 and DLSS 4, the RTX 5060 Ti is the clear choice for new buyers.
