Nvidia’s supposedly budget-friendly GeForce RTX 5060 may be close to an official announcement, but it’s now rumored to arrive as late as March 2025. This will be after the more premium RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti variants, which might show up in February. The timeline has come via a Chaintech marketing slide, where the Chinese hardware manufacturer seems to have accidentally spilled the beans with regards to the release window. If it is to be believed, both the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti should arrive within a month of Nvidia’s more premium offerings.
That’s quite an interesting twist in Nvidia’s GPU strategy, considering how successive product cycles took rather longer than expected. Case in point, the RTX 4060 launched in June 2023, eight months after the RTX 4090 was available in October 2022. In contrast, the RTX 5060’s launch looks to be in a much tighter window, and that may point to a quicker pace toward options across the board.

Although some of the details around the performance and specifications of the RTX 5060 remain unannounced, some of them have begun to leak. Among those, the card is expected to boast 8GB of VRAM, just like its predecessor. On the other hand, the RTX 5060 Ti will allegedly boast both an 8GB and 16GB version of VRAM, much like its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti. The XTX 5060 is supposed to introduce Nvidia’s new Multi Frame Generation technology at a more wallet-friendly price, opening the availability of truly high-end features like AI-driven upscaling and real-time ray tracing to a lot more buyers.
One thing to consider is that Nvidia has not confirmed any official pricing for the RTX 5060 as yet, but it is believed to be pegged below $500, which makes it quite attractive for the gamer on a tight budget. The 5070 and 5070 Ti will be strong contenders in performance, but the 5060 should be within the reach of people who would like to game decently but do not need to break their wallets.

If that proves accurate, this would be an aggressively accelerated release timeline-a perhaps responsive move to the ongoing demand for GPUs that has generally outpaced supply in recent years. The RTX 4060 got a warm welcome but was immediately plagued by availability issues since its launch. It would be an excellent opportunity for Nvidia to announce the RTX 5060 in just a few months as a follow-up to its high-end siblings in order to get more reasonably priced GPUs onto store shelves and into the hands of hungry consumers.
Of course, precise specifications, performance benchmarks, and final pricing for both the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti remain speculative at this juncture, but it is getting harder to deny that a card creates some serious hype. The following months are really going to be interesting for those looking to upgrade their gaming rigs with a new GPU, as Nvidia seems in position to offer not just high-end brute power but budget-conscious options too.
