The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card was launched on April 16, marking its entry as the most budget-friendly option in the Blackwell series. However, the launch was overshadowed by its "paper" status, with actual retail units scarce and often sold at significant markups. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There are numerous options available at reasonable prices. The two most affordable models we've identified are from Skytech, available on Amazon. Starting at $1,249.99, these systems offer excellent value for a current-generation gaming rig capable of handling 1080p and 1440p resolutions.

The RTX 5060 Ti is a step up from its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a 15%-20% performance boost in games. This improvement is more significant than the leap from the RTX 4070 to the RTX 5070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti is the top choice for 1080p gaming and is also well-equipped to handle 1440p gaming, particularly when enhanced with DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 boasts greater power, prebuilt systems with this GPU start at a much steeper price of $1,700-$1,800. For gamers focused on resolutions up to 1440p, the RTX 5060 Ti offers a compelling balance of performance and cost.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the tradition of delivering smooth, yet affordable 1440p performance characteristic of the XX60 Ti series. Compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it significantly advances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates beyond those of the 40 series.
Thus, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as one of the more successful entries in the RTX 50 lineup, and the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers seeking at least 1440p performance."
