Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti Blackwell GPUs are rumored to be releasing in just 10 days, according to hardware leaker @Zed__Wang. The RTX 5060 family of cards were previously rumored to launch in March, alongside a higher asking price than previous generation 60-class GPUs.

The leaker also mentioned that while the GPUs would be “released in about 10 days”, stock on shelves won’t arrive until April. Given how rare it is to find an RTX 50-series graphics card on a shelf, it’s confounding to think why Nvidia would want to paper launch a product without any real stock, but that seems par for the course for the RTX 5000 series.
The 5060 Ti is also expected to release with two VRAM configurations: 8GB and 16GB, according to ECC filings. It’s also likely that Nvidia will stick with 8GB for the standard RTX 5060 model, which may hinder the GPU’s performance, despite faster GDDR7 memory.
But, since Nvidia did not formally announce specifications for the RTX 5060 or 5060 Ti at CES, official specifications are still up in the air.
However, given current trends when looking at the RTX 5000 series stack, you can hazard a good guess at where Nvidia’s mainstream-focused cards will land.
The RTX 5060 Ti is likely to utilize the GB206 die, which could feature 36 SMs, or around 4,608 CUDA cores, alongside a 128-bit memory interface and GDDR7 VRAM. The RTX 5060 is much more uncertain, it could theoretically use the same GB206 die as the 5060 Ti, but it’s also possible that Nvidia could use the further cut down GB207.
The GB207 die is believed to feature 20 SMs and 2,560 CUDA cores, and a 128-bit memory interface. This could be a notable step down from the RTX 5060 Ti, but until Nvidia lifts the lid on official specifications, we’re still left waiting on exactly how their mainstream offerings might perform.
If the rumor surrounding the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti’s release hold true, then we may not have to wait too long to hear official specifications, alongside a handful of Nvidia-approved benchmarks.
It’s expected that the duo of 60-class GPUs will be targeting 1080p resolutions for gaming workloads, but the jury is still out on whether 8 GB of VRAM will really be enough for demanding modern titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, with all of its fancy ray-traced bells and whistles applied.
As for purchasing one? Well, given the situation around GPU demand, and stock constraints at retailers worldwide, the fact that rumors about stock not landing until April paints an ill portent for anyone hoping to get their hands on a new Nvidia GPU.
