The excitement for the Nvidia RTX 5000 series GPU shot up after the initial reveal but quickly came down due to several reasons. Lack of stock, no MSRP, and technical issues on initial graphics cards are a few to name. Now it’s time for the budget section as new leaks regarding the RTX 5050, 5060, and 5060 Ti have now surfaced ahead of the reveal.

The budget gaming section represents a major part of the gaming community. If the launch goes well, there may be a chance for Nvidia to win back gamers after making some fake claims regarding RTX 5070 performing the same as RTX 4090 (It’s nowhere near). Popular leaker kopite7kimi on X (Twitter) has posted the specifications for the remaining upcoming Nvidia GPUs.

Here are the specs for RTX 5050 and RTX 5060 GPUs

Name RTX 5050 RTX 5060 RTX 5060 Ti
CUDA cores 2,560 3,840 4,608
Memory 8 GB GDDR7 8 GB GDDR7 8 GB/16 GB GDDR7
Memory bus 128-bit 128-bit 128-bit
Power 130 W 150 W 180 W

As we all know Nvidia skipped the RTX 4050 so those on an ultra budget will be waiting on the new GPU given the price is something they can afford or its availability. This will also be the case for those looking out for the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti. There's also the competition, AMD to consider with their RX 9060 cards.

The RTX 5050 features the same number of CUDA cores as the RTX 3050 (8G), however, there’s an upgrade from the old GDDR6 memory to GDDR7 which may help increase the performance at only a 20W increase in power consumption. On top of that, there is also the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation which can make the card worth purchasing if the price is right.

Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti looks much more appealing than RTX 5060

Moving a bit higher in the hierarchy, the XX60s cards have always been the go-to for all gamers, however, the offerings here are a bit confusing. There is a slight upgrade over the RTX 4060 and the RTX 4060 Ti including the GDDR7 memory, however, the 4060 is reported to have only 8GB VRAM which is once again not enough and only seems to be there to push gamers to buy the 4060 Ti.
