PNY RTX 5060 Ti OC Hits Historic Low: Just $379 for 16GB
▼ Summary
– The PNY RTX 5060 Ti OC 16 GB graphics card is available for a notably low price of $379.99, which is historically inexpensive for a mid-range card.
– This price represents a significant reduction from the approximately $500 this class of card cost just two months ago, making it a strong value.
– The card features a simple two-fan design, a Blackwell GPU with 4,608 CUDA cores, and requires only a single eight-pin power connector from a 600-watt PSU.
– Performance-wise, it competes closely with the previous-generation RTX 4070 and can handle 1440p gaming at high frame rates, with 4K capability using DLSS4.
– A caution is noted that while the deal is for the PNY RTX 5060 Ti OC, Walmart’s website incorrectly lists the product name as the superior Epic-X ARGB model.
Finding a powerful graphics card without draining your wallet can feel like an impossible task, especially when mid-range options frequently hover above the $400 mark. The PNY RTX 5060 Ti OC 16 GB is currently available at Walmart for just $379.99, presenting a rare opportunity for budget-conscious builders. This price point is a significant departure from the nearly $500 these cards commanded just weeks ago, marking what appears to be a historic low.
Earlier price adjustments had brought some 16 GB models down to around $430, but this new $50 reduction solidifies the card’s position as an exceptional value. The PNY model features a straightforward two-fan cooling solution, which should be more than adequate for most users. Under the hood, the Blackwell GPU boasts 4,608 CUDA cores with boost clocks reaching up to 2,692 MHz. A notable advantage is its power efficiency, requiring only a single 8-pin PCIe connector and a recommended 600-watt power supply.
While the card forgoes flashy RGB lighting, its clean aesthetic and included three-year warranty from PNY are compelling features. Performance-wise, benchmarks from our review demonstrate that the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB delivers performance competitive with last-generation’s RTX 4070, all while operating at a lower cost and with reduced power consumption. This GPU handles 1440p gaming with high frame rates effortlessly and can even manage 4K gameplay in many titles when leveraging Nvidia’s DLSS4 upscaling technology.
Potential buyers should note a minor discrepancy on the Walmart product page. Although the deal is specifically for the PNY RTX 5060 Ti OC and all accompanying photos and specifications match this model, the listing incorrectly names the “Epic-X ARGB,” which is a different, typically more expensive variant. Customers should expect to receive the OC model as described.
