This improvement surpasses the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070, making the RTX 5060 Ti the best value Blackwell card for 1080p gaming. It's also well-suited for 1440p gaming, particularly when utilizing DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 is more powerful, prebuilt systems with this GPU start at a steep $1,700-$1,800, making the RTX 5060 Ti a more cost-effective choice for gamers aiming for 1440p or lower resolutions.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the esteemed XX60 Ti legacy, delivering smooth yet budget-friendly performance at 1440p. When compared to the more expensive RTX 5070, it significantly enhances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates, surpassing the achievements of the 40 series.
Thus, the RTX 5060 Ti can be celebrated as one of the more triumphant RTX 50 series cards, and it stands as the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
