Nvidia and AMD are set for a showdown in March, if this rumor holds any truth – RTX 5060 Ti and 5060 reportedly launching next month

• Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 are reportedly set for launch in March
• This will directly compete with AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 series launch
• We could be seeing a repeat in this generation of 8GB of VRAM with the RTX 5060

Nvidia‘s RTX 5000 series GPU launch is well underway with the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 now sold out at virtually every retailer (unsurprisingly), and Team Green looks set to roll out the rest of its lineup very soon – which means key rival AMD may be set for a big battle.

As reported by Tom’s Hardware, the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 are supposedly set to launch in March according to Chinese hardware manufacturer Chaintech. This is when AMD‘s Radeon RX 9000 series GPU lineup is slated to launch, which would ultimately put Team Green and Team Red in direct competition – AMD has already made it clear that mid-range GPUs will be its focus, and the new xx60-class Nvidia cards could likely challenge them.

We’re awaiting details regarding the pricing of the RX 9000 series along with just how powerful they could be compared to the previous RX 7900 XT and XTX GPUs – considering the official pricing of Nvidia’s RTX 5070 ($549 / £549 / AU$1,109), prices for the RTX 5060 Ti and 5060 could be much lower. Depending on the performance of these GPUs, AMD could win the mid-range battle – just as long as prices for its next-gen GPUs are reasonable.

Can we just be done with 8GB GPUs, please?
