RTX 5060 at a glance

The RTX 5060 is based on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and is manufactured using the 5 nm process at TSMC. It ships with 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus , about 448 GB/s. Shader count is 3840 across 48 CU/SM. The board interface is PCIe 5.0 x8.

Reference board power is a moderate 145 W with 1x 8-pin. Final PSU and case requirements still depend on the specific partner card and the rest of the system.

VRAM capacity is entry-level at 8 GB. Best at 1080p / light 1440p. Newer titles at ultra can fill the buffer quickly.

Best fit: Basic gaming or display workloads where price, compatibility, and power matter more than high settings.
