The RTX 5060 uses a GB206 GPU with 3840 CUDA cores, which is 800 fewer than the RTX 5060 Ti. The card received 8 GB of GDDR7 memory with support for a 128-bit bus. Memory bandwidth is 448 GB/s. The same RTX 4060 has a memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s.
Nvidia says the RTX 5060 supports all the same advanced technologies, including Multi-Frame Generator and DLSS 4, as the higher-end RTX 50-series cards, delivering up to 2x the performance of the previous-generation RTX 4060 and even more than the GeForce GTX 1660 and GeForce RTX 2060.
Along with the RTX 5060 launch date, Nvidia also announced that MechWarrior 5: Clans and New World: Aeternum will receive DLSS 4 support. The former will launch on May 7, and the latter on May 13.
