Notes on 9 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Base clock: AMD publishes only Game (2171 MHz) and Boost clocks; no base clock appears on AMD's page.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Memory bandwidth: AMD also lists 1995 GB/s 'effective' bandwidth including Infinity Cache; 432 GB/s is the raw VRAM figure.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Recommended PSU: AMD bases this rating on a Ryzen 9 7950X system; your needs may differ.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
  7. 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
  8. 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  9. 9AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck specifies the DP 2.1 output at UHBR13.5 link rate.

Performance and Architecture

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB uses the Blackwell architecture with 4,608 shader cores to deliver high clock speeds. It features faster GDDR7 memory operating at 28 Gbps, though it relies on a smaller 128-bit bus width.

In contrast, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is built on Rdna 3 and achieves a higher raw compute output of 35.2 TFLOPS. It uses traditional GDDR6 memory paired with a wider 192-bit bus to handle demanding graphical workloads.

Memory and Capacity

Gamers looking at the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT get 12 GB of video memory and a 48 MB last-level cache, which helps manage higher resolutions and complex textures.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB provides 8 GB of VRAM. While its memory bandwidth reaches 448 GB/s due to advanced GDDR7 technology, the lower capacity requires careful settings management in modern games.
