NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060
Blackwell at $299 brings GDDR7 and Multi Frame Generation to the 1080p masses, but the same old 8GB frame buffer means the ceiling arrives fast in 2025's most demanding releases.
Pros
- Strong 1080p performance per dollar
- GDDR7 nearly doubles the 4060's bandwidth
- Multi Frame Generation at $299
- Compact 145W cards fit any build
Cons
- 8GB VRAM is the hard ceiling
- PCIe x8 link hurts on older systems
- Launch reviews were driver-gated
Below average
