The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti made its highly anticipated debut on April 16th, positioning itself as the most affordable Blackwell GPU on the market. However, much like its predecessors, it was met with the unfortunate label of a "paper" launch, with retail units scarce unless accompanied by a significant price hike. Fortunately, if you're searching for a complete prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, your options are far more promising. There are numerous prebuilt systems readily available, and they come at surprisingly reasonable prices. Among the most budget-friendly models are the Skytech configurations available on Amazon. Starting at $1,249.99, these rigs represent excellent value for a contemporary 1080p or 1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti succeeds the RTX 4060 Ti, delivering approximately a 15-20% performance improvement across games. This generational leap surpasses that of the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070, making the RTX 5060 Ti an outstanding choice for 1080p gaming from a cost-effectiveness standpoint. It also holds its own at 1440p, particularly when combined with DLSS 4. While the RTX 5070 offers marginally better performance, prebuilt systems featuring it start at $1,700-$1,800. For gamers targeting resolutions of 1440p or lower, the premium price of the RTX 5070 becomes difficult to rationalize.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Review by James Archer (Rock Paper Shotgun)
"The RTX 5060 Ti upholds the venerable XX60 Ti lineage of providing smooth, budget-conscious 1440p performance. Compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it leans more heavily on native-resolution performance without relying solely on DLSS. As such, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as one of the stronger offerings in the RTX 50 series, solidifying its status as the go-to option for 1440p gaming on a budget."
