Nvidia is reportedly gearing up to launch its GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards, with information from Board Channels suggesting a potential release schedule. As previously indicated, Nvidia is expected to introduce the RTX 5060 series this month. This new lineup is anticipated to include the RTX 5060 Ti in both 16GB and 8GB configurations and the standard RTX 5060.
On the Board Channels forum (via VideoCardz), it has been suggested that Nvidia intends to maintain pricing parity with the previous generation. The RTX 4060 Ti launched at $399 for the 8GB variant, while the 16GB variant carried a $100 premium. If Nvidia adheres to this precedent, it may necessitate phasing out older models or implementing price reductions to remain competitive.
It's important to approach these pricing rumours cautiously, as pricing information can fluctuate significantly close to launch. However, Nvidia's strategy of mirroring the RTX 40 series SKU selection makes this pricing approach plausible. Still, depending on the pricing of competing products, like AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9060 XT, which is also rumoured to offer 16 GB and 8 GB memory configurations, the RTX 5060 Ti could be forced to be sold at a lower price point.
Currently, pricing details for the non-Ti RTX 5060 remain undisclosed. The coming weeks will likely reveal more concrete information about Nvidia's pricing strategy and how it will position the RTX 5060 series against AMD's offerings.

KitGuru says: The RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti held similar price tags to their last-gen counterparts. Do you think that trend will continue for the RTX 5060?
