The competition in the graphic map market becomes glowing: Nvidia would be about to launch her Waiting RTX 5060 on 19 MayTo position himself in the most accessible price range of his new RTX 50 series. The news, reported by Videocardz, indicates that Nvidia would have already communicated the date to his partners, with whom he defines the last details for the launch.
This movement comes just as AMD is preparing to answer with his RX 9060 XT, whose presentation is planned for May 21 on the Computex 2025 in Taiwan. That is why a direct challenge is announced between the two companies to conquer the most sensitive part of the market.
The launch price of the RTX 5060, with 8 GB video memory, should be 299 dollars, the same launch price as the previous RTX 4060. However, the technical specifications seem to promise a quality jump: there is an increase in the Cuda core (3,840 against 3,072 of the 4060), a faster memory (28 Gbps against 17 Gbps) and a larger bandwidth (448 Gbps against 272 Gbps). The TDP would also reach a slight increase and 145 W.
An aspect that could generate some doubts in potential buyers is the alleged decision of Nvidia to set the assessments of assessments for the same day of the launch. This would mean that users would not have the option of consulting independent tests before they make a purchase decision. A strategy that could be interpreted as a safety signal in the performance of the new card, but which in the past expressed doubts when they were less convincing products.
The RTX 5060 has been looming for some time as the cheapest graphic map of the RTX 50 series, because it does not circulate rumors over lower models if a possible RTX 5050 (the RTX 4050 has never arrived at the desktop market). It will be interesting to observe the market reaction to this launch, especially in the light of the recent dissatisfaction with regard to the amount of memory (only 8 GB in the less performing variant) of the RTX 5060 TI and in general the not always optimal quality of the latest Nvidia steering programs.
AMD’s announcement on Computex 2025 could therefore represent An opportunity for the Santa Clara Company to undermine the position of Nvidia in the middle range of the marketPerhaps with more competing proposals in terms of price or memory equipment. In addition to the Radeon GPUs, they are expected to be news from AMD also on the front of the Ryzen Processors, designed for new PCs with AI functionality. The launch of the NVIDIA RTX 5060 and AMD’s response with its RX 9060 XT will certainly create an interesting competitive dynamic for consumers, and which brand do you focus on? Let us know in the responses.
