About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2025 with a MSRP of $299. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GB206) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 5060 has 8 GB of GDDR7 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 5060 includes 3,840 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,280 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,497 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 120 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 120 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 30 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 5060 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1b, DisplayPort 2.1b display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 145 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 5060 has the 39th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 36.37% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 47,201.5 score and $299 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 157.86. This is the 4th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2017 with a MSRP of $399. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1070 Ti has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 2,002 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 256.3 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 1070 Ti includes 2,432 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,607 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,683 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 152 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 1070 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 180 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 1070 Ti has the 103rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 21.19% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 27,503 score and $399 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 68.93. This is the 55th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
