At long last, NVIDIA has announced its budget GeForce RTX 50-series, but don't expect any major discounts over the previous models. The RTX 5060 will start at $299, just like the RTX 4060 did when it launched two years ago.

Although the MSRP for these cards range from $899.99 to $999.99, a reference GeForce RTX 5070 Ti card is actually supposed to sell for $750. More advanced cooling designs, a more uncommon colorway, or overclocking out of the box add to the cost, but even then, admittedly, these cards are still priced higher than AMD originally intended.

Nvidia has said that the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti GPU MSRPs are "not inclusive of regional VAT or any tariff." This means should a tariff be put on PC parts, Nvidia is at least for now washing its hands of the whole pricing debacle that would surely follow.
