Nvidia Launches GeForce RTX 5060 GPUs Delivering High-Performance Gaming

Nvidia has officially announced the launch of its GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards for both desktops and laptops, with availability starting May 19. This new GPU aims to deliver exceptional gaming performance, allowing players to enjoy their favorite titles at max settings with frame rates exceeding 100 frames per second (FPS).

Justin Walker, Nvidia’s senior director of product management, emphasized that the RTX 5060 completes the popular 60 Series lineup by making the advanced neural rendering technology DLSS 4 accessible to a broad audience. Historically, the 60 Series GPUs have been Nvidia’s most popular models, striking a balance between performance and affordability.

The desktop version of the RTX 5060 will start at $299, while laptops featuring this GPU will begin at $1,099. These laptops will be available from major manufacturers such as Acer, ASUS, Alienware, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and Razer. Notably, RTX 50 Series laptops will incorporate features like DLSS 4, Blackwell Max-Q technology, and will be as thin as 14.9 millimeters, combining power with portability.

Performance benchmarks showcase the RTX 5060’s capabilities across popular games: Hogwarts Legacy runs at 234 FPS, Ghost of Tsushima at 215 FPS, Black Myth Wukong at 130 FPS, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition at 148 FPS, and Doom: The Dark Ages at 223 FPS. These figures demonstrate the GPU’s ability to handle demanding games at high frame rates and settings.

A significant highlight is the integration of DLSS 4, Nvidia’s latest neural rendering technology, which boosts performance while enhancing image quality. For example, enabling DLSS 4 with 4K path tracing in Doom: The Dark Ages increases frame rates by seven times, delivering stunning visuals with efficient performance. DLSS 4 is already supported in over 125 games and applications, with more titles like Crimson Desert and EA Sports F1 25 adopting it soon.

Additionally, Nvidia is enhancing classic games through RTX Remix, a platform that enables modders to remaster games with ray tracing and DLSS 4. Over 100 RTX Remix mods have been released, with 350 more in development. A contest with $50,000 in prizes encourages community engagement and innovation in game remastering.

Nvidia expects a healthy supply of RTX 5060 chips but acknowledges availability will depend on market demand. Overall, the RTX 5060 represents a substantial upgrade for gamers seeking high frame rates and advanced graphical features at an accessible price point, reinforcing Nvidia’s leadership in gaming GPU technology.
