Nvidia has seemingly notified its board partners of a delay regarding its upcoming midrange GeForce GPUs. Shared by @9550pro on X, the rumour claims that RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 have been pushed back to the end of March at best, with a month’s separation between the two.
According to this rumour, Nvidia has scheduled RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and 8GB cards for mid-April, followed by RTX 5060 in mid-May. While the brand never shared a release date to begin with, previous leaks claimed that we could expect these GPUs during the GDC (Game Developers Conference) on March 17 or Nvidia’s GTC which took place this week, which didn’t end up happening.
Though the reason for this supposed delay remains unknown, it should allow Nvidia and its partners to prepare more cards in the hope of satisfying demand. So far, buyers have been ravenous with MSRP cards flying off shelves the moment they’re listed. Thus, the larger the initial stock is, the better things could go.
Nvidia could also use this breather to revise pricing against AMD’s latest RX 9070 launch and upcoming RX 9060 and RX 9060 XT, which are expected in Q2 2025 – likely April for the latter. Regardless of the reason, potential owners will have to wait it out or jump up a tier and get RTX 5070.
| RTX 5060 Ti | RTX 5060 | |
|---|---|---|
| GPU | GB206 | GB206 |
| CUDA Cores | 4,608 | 3,840 |
| VRAM | 16GB or 8GB | 8GB |
| Memory | 28Gbps GDDR7 | 28Gbps GDDR7 |
| Memory Bus | 128-bit | 128-bit |
| Memory Bandwidth | 448GB/s | 448GB/s |
| TGP | 180W | 150W |
Specs-wise, RTX 5060 Ti should feature two different VRAM configurations, offering 8GB or 16GB of GDDR7 memory. These will reportedly link with 4,608 CUDA cores via a small 128-bit bus. RTX 5060, on the other hand, is expected to offer only a single 8GB variant coupled to a 3,840 CUDA core Blackwell GPU. All three models are shaping to be fairly efficient, asking for 180W and 150W respectively. But as usual, take the above with a grain of salt.
