The RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti NVIDIA GeForce might be powered by standard 8-pin PCI connectors.
As AMD and NVIDIA are ready to release rival mid-range graphics cards in March, the GPU market is heating up. According to rumors, AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT will make its debut with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, which are part of its Blackwell architecture range. This will set up a fierce competition in the mainstream gaming market. The RTX 5060 series will continue to use conventional 8-pin power connectors rather than implementing NVIDIA’s more recent 12V-2×6 16-pin architecture, according to leaks from Chinese hardware sources at Douyin, including leakers with ties to ZOTAC. This will make upgrades easier for users with older PSUs.
With an estimated total graphics power (TGP) of 150 W for the RTX 5060 and 200 W for the Ti variant, the cards are expected to require a least 650 W power supply, which is 100 W more than the RTX 4060 series. The RTX 5060 Ti will purportedly arrive in two variants: 8 GB and 16 GB GDDR7 configurations, utilizing a 128-bit bus, though NVIDIA has not confirmed specifications.
