Nvidia has announced the release date of its new GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, along with the first laptops equipped with this model. Sales will begin on May 19, The Verge reports.
The graphics card is expected to be available at a recommended price of $299, while laptops featuring it will start from $1,099.
The RTX 5060 is the most basic model in the RTX 50-series lineup and is inferior in specifications to the more powerful RTX 5060 Ti introduced earlier. Specifically, it features 3,840 CUDA cores – nearly 800 fewer than the Ti version.
Despite this, the new card supports GDDR7 memory, as well as DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and includes the latest tensor and RT cores, which deliver enhanced graphics and gaming performance.

Nvidia also reports that ahead of the RTX 5060’s release, some games will be updated with support for DLSS 4. In particular, "MechWarrior 5: Clans" will receive its update on May 7, and "New World: Aeternum" on May 13.
However, experts warn that the recommended price may not reflect the actual retail cost. Due to high retailer markups and the possible impact of new import tariffs in the US, the RTX 5060's price may end up higher than the stated $299.
