Leaked RTX 5060 Ti Benchmark Suggests Notable Performance Uptick
Contents
Summary: A leaked benchmark shows what consumers can expect in terms of performance from the RTX 5060 Ti. It’ll have a not insignificant performance boost over its RTX 40-series counterpart, though it won’t be the massive jump some are probably hoping for.
A leaked benchmark for the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti has provided a few details about how the GPU may perform once it launches, and if it’s accurate, then it’ll be a not insignificant bump in performance compared to the RTX 4060 Ti. Though, at what cost? NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series GPUs are packing some powerful performance, but reviews have shown that even with these improvements, they’re not as big of a leap over the 40-series as NVIDIA would have you believe.
The same can’t be said for the RTX 5060 Ti just yet. NVIDIA hasn’t officially announced the GPU model, for one. Even when it does, reviewers will still need to acquire one for testing to see how it stacks up to the last generation’s equivalent. Of course, experiencing that performance, notable improvement or not, will require consumers to have one. It’s not exactly a secret that getting any of this generation’s GPUs is either next to impossible or incredibly expensive. Sometimes both.
The higher cost can partially be attributed to the tariffs. As consumers saw sharp price increases a mere few days after release, with retailers like Newegg blaming the tariffs for this change. Some of those markups are also due to scalpers. Resellers who scooped up as much stock as possible to create an artificial lack of supply (which was already low) and hike prices well beyond their MSRP.
A story as old as time in the GPU market over the past few years. That said, it’s the potential for those increased prices that could render the performance improvement useless. However, that will really depend on what you value more. A fair price or better performance.
RTX 5060 Ti benchmark suggests it’s 14% more powerful than the RTX 4060 Ti
When it comes to the benchmark stats, the long and short of it suggests a notable bump in performance. Wccftech (via TechRadar) points out that the RTX 5060 Ti is 14% faster than its predecessor. That’s not too bad at all. Though if the GPU ends up costing hundreds more than what it should, it might feel less like a notable upgrade. Assuming they’ll be easier to purchase.
According to the report, the benchmarks were done in OpenCL and Vulkan. In the Vulkan test, the 5060 Ti ended up with a score of 140,147 points. Meanwhile, in the OpenCL test, it ended up with a score of 146,234 points. The uptick ends up at 14% over the RTX 4060 Ti in Vulkan and 13% in OpenCL.
Like other GPUs in the RTX 50-series, this isn’t a massive jump like we saw between some earlier generations. Of course, NVIDIA is relying heavily here on the inclusion of DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation to produce more significant boosts to the performance for things like frame rate in games.
There will be two models of the GPU, so performance could vary
It should be noted that NVIDIA is supposed to be releasing two variants of this GPU. One that comes with 16GB of VRAM and another that comes with 8GB of VRAM. According to Wccftech, the one in the benchmark is the 16GB model. So expect performance results to vary for the 8GB, though it should still parity the difference between the current and last-gen 16GB GPUs with its 8GB counterpart from the 40-series.
