Nvidia is launching the RTX 5060 Ti this week, and will launch the RTX 5060 in May.<\/p>\n

These budget graphics cards are significantly less powerful than the RTX 5070 that Nvidia launched earlier this year<\/a>, but are also up to $150 less expensive and use less electricity.<\/p>\n\n\nCUDA

RTX 5060 will be $300, and has 8GB of VRAM. RTX 5060 Ti is offered in two variants, $380 with 8GB of VRAM or $430 with 16GB of VRAM.<\/p>\n

Like the rest of the RTX 50-series family, RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti use Nvidia’s new Blackwell architecture and feature GDDR7 VRAM, which offers 33% faster memory bandwidth compared to GDDR6X. They also support DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, but this feature isn’t suitable for VR.<\/p>\n

For standalone headsets accessing PC VR via compressed streaming, the RTX 50 series added support for 4:2:2 color encoding. If future headsets support this, it would offer a more vibrant image compared to the 4:2:0 color compression of today’s VR streaming.<\/p>\n

Nvidia & AMD\u2019s New GPUs Are Set To Push PC VR Forward<\/p>\n

Nvidia and AMD both announced their next generation graphics cards, set to push PC VR forward again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For $300, the RTX 5060 should offer similar performance to 2018’s RTX 2080, a card that was more than double the price, and which Half-Life: Alyx was designed to run very well on.<\/p>\n

If you want to play racing or flight simulators in VR, if you want to push the graphics of cross-platform VR titles, or if you want to drive a very high resolution headset, we strongly recommend picking up one of Nvidia’s higher-end cards, such as the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090.<\/p>\n

But if you’re on a very strict budget, and you just want to play titles like Half-Life: Alyx and Skyrim VR on your Quest or PlayStation VR2, the RTX 5060 family might be an affordable option to make the jump into PC VR.<\/p>\n
