GeForce RTX 5060 Ti: 16GB VRAM, $490 on Amazon

If you're hunting for an affordable yet powerful graphics card for 1080p gaming, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is tough to beat. Just ensure you snag the 16GB variant, as the 8GB version simply won't cut it for modern games. Right now, Amazon and Walmart are offering GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPUs starting at $489.99. Although this is slightly higher than the initial $429.99 MSRP, it's a far better deal compared to other RTX 50 series GPUs.

The RTX 5060 Ti is a stellar choice for 1080p gaming, outpacing the RTX 4060 Ti by approximately 20% and the RTX 3060 Ti by roughly 40%. In games supporting DLSS 4, it leaves competitors even further behind. The cheapest RTX 5070 GPU available is $609.99, which might not be worth the additional cost unless you're chasing ultra-high frame rates at 1080p. Always opt for the 16GB variant to avoid bottlenecks in newer, more demanding titles and when playing at higher resolutions like 1440p.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is a reliable 1080p graphics card, even compared to its predecessor. It handles almost all games at max settings at this resolution, though some, like 'Assassin's Creed: Shadows,' may require tweaking ray tracing settings for better performance. The main downside lies with the 8GB version, which struggles as games become more demanding. It's unfortunate that both versions share the same name, as it adds confusion to the purchasing process."

For gamers eyeing 1440p resolutions, consider stepping up to the GeForce RTX 5070. Amazon offers the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members at $609.99 with free shipping. Additionally, it comes with a voucher for the upcoming "Doom: The Dark Ages" game.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 matches the RTX 4070 Super in performance. While the generational leap isn't massive, the RTX 4070 Super was already exceptional for 1440p gaming. Even so, the RTX 5070 offers better visuals in games with DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option that improves with driver updates.
