Skytech RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC Launched at $1,249.99

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was officially launched on April 16 as the most budget-friendly option in the Blackwell series. However, it turned out to be a "paper" launch, with physical units scarce and often marked up significantly. If you're on the hunt for a gaming PC with this new GPU, the situation is far more promising. A variety of prebuilt gaming PCs featuring the RTX 5060 Ti are readily available and reasonably priced. The most affordable options we've spotted are from Skytech, listed on Amazon, starting at just $1,249.99. This price point makes these rigs an excellent choice for gamers seeking solid performance at 1080p or 1440p resolutions.

The RTX 5060 Ti is the next step up from the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a performance boost of approximately 15%-20% in games. This improvement is more significant than the leap from the RTX 4070 to the RTX 5070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti is the best choice in the Blackwell lineup for 1080p gaming, and it's more than capable of handling 1440p gaming, particularly with DLSS 4 enabled. While the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems with this GPU start at $1,700-$1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more cost-effective option for gamers not aiming for resolutions above 1440p.

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

"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the legacy of the XX60 Ti series, delivering smooth and relatively budget-friendly performance at 1440p. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it significantly advances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates beyond those of the 40 series.

Therefore, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as one of the more successful entries in the RTX 50 lineup, making it the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers targeting at least 1440p performance."
