Ask HN: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 arrives May 19 at $299 revive PC builds?
byte-bolter Thursday, May 08, 2025Nvidia just announced that the GeForce RTX 5060 will hit shelves on May 19 starting at $299. It succeeds the GTX 1060/RTX 3060 line, adds DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation—but still ships with 8 GB of VRAM amid ongoing supply shortages.
I’m curious: Will this price point and feature set finally revive mainstream PC builds? Is 8 GB of VRAM still enough for today’s 1080p/1440p gaming?
Looking forward to benchmarks and your early impressions once cards start rolling out!
