The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti officially launched on April 16 as the most affordable entry in the Blackwell GPU lineup. However, much like many recent launches, it arrived as a so-called "paper launch," with retail availability remaining scarce and inflated prices dominating the market. That said, if you're looking to get your hands on this next-gen GPU, your best bet might be through prebuilt gaming PCs—where availability is surprisingly solid and pricing more reasonable.
Currently, several prebuilt systems featuring the RTX 5060 Ti are available for purchase, and two of the most budget-friendly options come from Skytech via Amazon. These systems start at just $1,249.99, making them an attractive choice for gamers seeking a capable 1080p or 1440p-ready rig without breaking the bank.
Skytech RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PCs – Starting at $1,249.99
- Skytech Shadow – AMD Ryzen 5 5500 / RTX 5060 Ti / 16GB RAM / 1TB Storage – $1,249.99 at Amazon
- Skytech Archangel – AMD Ryzen 5 5600X / RTX 5060 Ti / 16GB RAM / 1TB Storage – $1,299.99 at Amazon
The RTX 5060 Ti replaces the previous generation RTX 4060 Ti and offers an estimated performance boost of 15–20% in gaming workloads. This improvement outpaces the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the top Blackwell GPU for 1080p gaming, while still delivering strong 1440p performance—especially when leveraging DLSS 4 technology. Although the RTX 5070 brings more raw power to the table, prebuilt systems featuring that card typically start around $1,700–$1,800, making it a tough sell if you’re targeting 1440p gameplay or lower resolutions.
RTX 5060 Ti Review – James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti continues the long-standing XX60 Ti legacy of smooth, budget-conscious 1440p performance. Compared to the higher-end RTX 5070, it makes a notable jump in native resolution frame rates over the previous 40-series models.
In short, the RTX 5060 Ti ranks among the more successful releases in the RTX 50 series and currently serves as the go-to option—for now—at least for budget-minded 1440p gaming."
