NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 Ti ships in either 8GB or 16GB variants
Counter to NVIDIA’s claims, the 5060 Ti does not offer a “50x” performance increase over a GTX 1060
The 5060 Ti is about 13%-27% better than the 4060 Ti at 1440p
The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti uses the modern PCI-Express 5.0 bus interface, but supports only an 8-lane configuration. This is just half the bandwidth of the higher-end models, which run at x16. Are you in trouble with an older system, which only supports running at PCIe 4.0?

NVIDIA today launched the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, the latest entry to its performance-segment lineup. You can read all about the card and how it performs in our main review of the card. This card is a direct successor to the RTX 4060 Ti and the RTX 3060 Ti before it. The RTX 3060 Ti and its sibling, the RTX 3060, came with PCI-Express 4.0 x16 host interfaces, giving them the same host bandwidth as the flagship RTX 3090 graphics card from that generation. Then, with its RTX 40-series, NVIDIA changed its mid-range GPUs such that the AD106 silicon driving the RTX 4060 Ti comes with a PCI-Express 4.0 x8 host interface.
When NVIDIA chose to give the RTX 4060 Ti and the AD106 silicon driving it a PCI-Express 4.0 x8 interface, it justified the move by pointing out PCIe Gen 4 being prevalent with desktop platforms going all the way back to the 11th Gen Core Rocket Lake and Ryzen 3000 Zen 2—platforms from 2018 and 2019. With the new RTX 50-series Blackwell generation, NVIDIA is imple
