NVIDIA RTX 5060Ti Review: Performance Benchmarks & Disappointing Results Revealed

Source: Geekerwan

🔥 The verdict? The most disappointing generational leap in 60-series history. While the last-gen 4060 Ti faced backlash for barely rivaling the 3070, the new 5060 Ti shockingly falls short against the 4070. Nvidia’s pushing boundaries—just not the performance kind!

I had modest hopes—perhaps the 5060 Ti would at least nip at the 4070’s heels, mirroring how the 5070 effortlessly surpasses the 4070 Super.
Reality check: The 5060 Ti gets demolished. Those drastic L2 cache cuts? Their performance toll is catastrophic—so severe that even GDDR7’s blazing bandwidth can’t salvage the situation.

🎯 Germany-specific buying guide:
1️⃣ Smart spenders: Unless you’re married to specific online titles, the 7700 XT delivers comparable power for less cash, while the 7800 XT offers superior performance at similar pricing.
2️⃣ The 5060 Ti dilemma: With 4060 Tis vanishing from German shelves at absurd markups, the 5060 Ti might settle at sane prices—likely inheriting its predecessor’s MSRP.

But here’s the twist! The 16GB variant could dodge the usual premium this time. Why? The 5060 handles 1080p, forcing the Ti to prove itself at 2K—where 8GB VRAM already chokes. Expect heavy 16GB promotion. Even if not, choose it anyway—the Ti’s horsepower is wasted on 1080p.
3️⃣ Creators take note: With 4070 stock depleted locally, that 16GB GDDR7 becomes golden for specialized workloads.

Budding AI enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the breathing room.

💡 My price sweet spot (budget tier):
– 400€ (8GB) – 450€ (16GB)
Early adopters will face inflated tags, but unless you’re buying for RGB bragging rights, don’t overshoot these numbers.

⚠️ AMD alert: German prices have ballooned too. The 7700 XT hovers near 400€, the 7800 XT around 500€—making the gap versus Nvidia less dramatic than in China. The 7700 XT’s trump cards? Superior rasterization and future-proof VRAM, especially for resolution-hungry gamers.
