NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060: quick answers

Will the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 run 2027 games?

Of the 19 upcoming games whose publishers have named a graphics card, it meets the recommended card for 11, only the minimum for 8, and falls short of 1.

Is 8 GB of VRAM enough?

For 1080p and most 1440p games, yes. The heaviest recent releases will want textures turned down.

What power supply do I need for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060?

It is rated at 145 W. With the rest of a typical gaming PC and headroom for power spikes, a good 450 W unit is a safe choice; the PSU calculator works it out for your exact parts.

Is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 faster than the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB?

No. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB scores 34/100 against 32/100 in our index.
