RTX 5060 Ships at $299 — RTX 60 Officially Slips to 2027

Nvidia closed out Blackwell mid-range this month with a $299 RTX 5060 — and the timing strongly implies RTX 60 has slipped into 2027.

On silicon, the 5060 is a cut-down GB206 part: 3,072 CUDA cores, 8GB GDDR7, 128-bit bus. Real-world performance lands roughly 18-22% ahead of the RTX 4060 at 1080p, with the gap widening once DLSS 4 multi-frame generation kicks in.

Frame-gen support is the actual reason to buy this card. Multi-frame gen — previously locked to the 5090/5080 tier — is now in the entire stack. That changes the value proposition for any 1080p or 1440p high-refresh display setup.

The bigger industry signal is the timing. With the 5060 only landing now and Jensen’s GTC commentary on TSMC N2 capacity, RTX 60 has effectively slipped to late 2027. A Blackwell Super refresh in early 2027 is now the most likely intermediate generation.
