Skytech Unveils RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC for $1,249.99

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card made its debut on April 16, marking its entry as the most budget-friendly Blackwell GPU available. However, it was a "paper" launch, with actual retail units scarce and often sold at a significant markup. On a brighter note, if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC featuring this new GPU, you're in luck. There's an abundance of reasonably priced options available. Among the most affordable choices are two Skytech models listed on Amazon, starting at an impressive $1,249.99, making them a great deal for a current-generation 1080p/1440p gaming setup.

The RTX 5060 Ti is a step up from the RTX 4060 Ti, offering a 15%-20% boost in gaming performance. This generational improvement outpaces that of the RTX 5070 over the RTX 4070. From a value standpoint, the RTX 5060 Ti stands out as the best Blackwell card for 1080p gaming, and it's also well-equipped to handle 1440p gaming, particularly with DLSS 4 enabled. Although the RTX 5070 offers greater power, prebuilt systems with this GPU start at $1,700-$1,800, a price difference that's tough to justify if you're targeting 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 budget-friendly performance at 1440p. When compared to the pricier RTX 5070, it significantly advances native-resolution, pre-DLSS frame rates beyond those of the 40 series.

Thus, we can confidently label the RTX 5060 Ti as one of the more successful RTX 50 series graphics cards, and the go-to choice for budget-conscious 1440p gaming."
