Nvidia has announced that the GeForce RTX 5060, positioned for the mainstream desktop market, and the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU will officially go on sale on May 20th. The starting price for the desktop GeForce RTX 5060 is 2499 RMB, which also means that the prices of similarly positioned RTX 50 series laptops can be further reduced, accelerating market adoption.
The GeForce RTX 5060 includes the full features of the RTX 50 series, built on the Blackwell architecture, and supports AI acceleration, neural network shaders, ray tracing, DLSS 4, and many other features. Combined with the development SDK provided by Nvidia, the hardware can be further explored, allowing the GeForce RTX 5060 to easily support the DLSS 4 Transformer AI model for DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Ray Reconstruction.
Among these, Transformer DLSS 4 can bring a dual improvement in game frame rates and image quality, and further reduce PC input latency, ensuring a better gaming experience. DLSS 4’s Frame Generation is another key technology, allowing up to three additional frames to be generated for each traditionally rendered frame. When used in conjunction with the entire DLSS technology suite, frame rates can be increased up to 8 times that of traditional image rendering.
So far, over 100 games and applications support Frame Generation technology, and new games and technologies supporting DLSS are released every week.
According to Nvidia, the GeForce RTX 5060 will bring a significant upgrade, allowing AAA games to run smoothly at over 100 FPS at 1080p resolution. The starting price of 2499 RMB is comparable to the previous generation RTX 4060, but its performance is twice that of the previous generation GeForce RTX 4060. For gamers using older GPUs such as the GeForce GTX 1660 or GeForce RTX 2060, upgrading to the RTX 5060 will result in a greater improvement in performance and responsiveness.
In addition, the GeForce RTX 5060 also provides the latest hardware support, including the latest Shader Cores, Tensor Cores, Ray Tracing Cores, and ultra-fast GDDR7 memory, and supports DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 display output.
Regarding AIC partners, ASUS, Colorful, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Inno3D, Manli, Maxsun, MSI, Yeston, and Zotac will all offer corresponding official clock speeds and OC overclocked models.
GeForce RTX 5060 laptops will also be launched on May 20th, with official recommended retail prices starting at 7999 RMB. If national subsidies are included, the price should be able to be reduced to below 6000 RMB. Thanks to Frame Generation, GeForce RTX 5060 laptops are more than twice as fast as previous-generation laptops, with higher image quality and lower latency.
Notably, Blackwell Max-Q can further reduce laptop power consumption, providing a better mobile experience for gaming laptops.
GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU models from major manufacturers are already poised for release and will meet players simultaneously with the desktop GPU after May 20th. This means that during the 618 shopping festival, players will have more choices for desktop and mobile gaming PCs. Now all that’s left is to save money and wait for the promotions to buy, buy, buy.
