Skytech RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC Now Starts at $1,249.99

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card made its debut on April 16 as the most budget-friendly Blackwell GPU on the market. Unfortunately, it was another "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often available only with a significant markup. However, if you're in the market for a complete prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There's an abundance of prebuilt gaming PCs available, and they come at reasonable prices. The two most affordable options we've encountered are from Skytech, listed on Amazon. Starting at $1,249.99, these PCs offer a solid value for a current-generation gaming rig suitable for both 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The RTX 5060 Ti is the successor to the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a performance boost of about 15%-20% in games. This improvement is more significant than the generational leap seen with the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti is the top choice among Blackwell cards for 1080p gaming, and it's also well-equipped to handle 1440p gaming, particularly when enhanced with DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 boasts greater power, a prebuilt system with an RTX 5070 typically starts at $1,700-$1,800, making the price difference hard to justify if you're 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 tradition of delivering smooth, yet relatively affordable 1440p performance. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it makes a more significant push in native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates than its predecessor from the 40 series.

Thus, we can consider the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 series graphics cards, and the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers aiming for at least 1440p performance."
