Where to buy RTX 5060 Ti GPU — live updates and stock checker
Here's where to buy Nvidia's new 5060 Ti
Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPUs are now on sale, and if we know anything about Team Green's GPUs, stock is going to sell fast and it already has.
Besides limited availability, we've also got the MSRP problem to deal with too. You see, Nvidia can tell us that these prices will start at $379 / £349 — on paper, that's actually less than what the RTX 4060 Ti launched for.
As we've all learned though, this is just a guideline and we've seen prices shoot up for the RTX 5090, 5080 and 5070. Be it because of tariff problems or stocking issues, I'm here to help you find the 5060 Tis being sold for the actual retail price or as close to it as possible.
Not only that but I can tell you which ones to go for based on my Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti review. To give you some advice off the bat, if you have any concerns about the demands of recent games on a GPU with plenty of video memory, you'll know that maybe that extra $50 investment to go from card with 8GB to 16GB of VRAM is probably worthwhile.
Without further ado, here are all the places you can buy a 5060 Ti and live updates as retailers make more cards available and restock the ones that have sold out.

Stock update: UK still looking good, but US is out of stock
Welcome to your stock check for the day! Now that things have settled down, we'll check back in every now and again and keep you posted on any stock drops we see or hear about.
So, as I know if someone asked me whether I'd want the good news or bad news first, I like to get the bad out the way first, let's start there.
The US is out of stock where it matters
Best Buy stock just never came around, which is kind of frustrating. That could mean we may see some go on sale later today, but this could be the waiting game for more stock to arrive ahead of demand.
The only online retailer that did have stock for a bit was Newegg — all at roughly 10% over the MSRP. But these are all gone now too. But anyway, time for good news!
Stock is great in the UK — and at retail price too!
This was probably the biggest surprise of yesterday. Not only did RTX 5060 Ti stock come in droves here in Britain, most of it is available at retail price — no gouging whatsoever!
Even better? They're still available!

Can't find an RTX 5060 Ti? Buy an RTX 5070 instead!
Finding an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti can be tricky, if not impossible. However, you don't have to go empty-handed, as there are still RTX 5070 GPUs available.
It's still nearly impossible to find an RTX 50 series GPU at MSRP (or at all). That said, this Asus TUF Gaming RTX 5070 card is available on Amazon to Prime members for $739. That's almost $200 more than its MSRP, but it's still a GPU you can buy for less than $1,000.
Note that you need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of this deal.
You might have to wait even longer for your RTX 5060 Ti
At the moment it appears that most online retailers have completely sold out of RTX 5060 Ti cards, both in their 8GB and 16GB variants. However, if you did manage to snag a 16GB RTX 5060 Ti today, you might be getting it sooner than the 8GB version if rumors circulating online are to be believed.
In a video on YouTube, Hardware Unboxed explains that 8GB RTX 5060 Ti cards will likely arrive a week after their 16GB counterparts. This is quite the odd though as both versions of Nvidia's latest GPU have the same launch day. However, this does line up with other rumors that reviewers were unable to source 8GB versions of the RTX 5060 Ti for testing ahead of the launch.
Only time will tell but as it stands now, those who bought an 8GB card could still be waiting for it to arrive while those who spent more on the 16GB version may already be using their new GPUs.
DLSS 4 shines on the RTX 5060 Ti
DLSS 4 is one of the main selling points of Nvidia RTX 50-series cards. While AI-driven frame generation might not be needed for powerful cards like the RTX 5090, it can certainly benefit more budget-focused GPUs like the RTX 5060 Ti.
Nvidia’s target for the RTX 5060 Ti is 1440p, and it should come as no surprise that it delivers. What surprised us in our Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti review, however, is just what it is capable of and how much DLSS just makes sense here.
In more expensive cards, dropping up to two grand on an RTX 5090 to just be told to use DLSS can leave a bit of a sour taste. But to see it in a far cheaper GPU like this, and how it can unlock impressively smooth gameplay at even 4K is mind-blowing. Being able to get over 100 FPS at 4K ray-tracing: ultra settings on Cyberpunk 2077 is a stellar achievement in a $430 card.
Get your gaming rig ready for the RTX 5060 Ti
For those that did manage to snag an RTX 5060 Ti online, Nvidia has released a new Game Ready Driver for its latest graphics card. As you wait for your new GPU to ship, you might want to download and install this driver now so that your gaming PC is ready to go once you install your RTX 5060 Ti.
STOCK ALERT: You might want to check your local Micro Center
If finding a 5060 Ti in stock online is proving as difficult for you as it is for me, you might want to try swinging by your local Micro Center. According to the company's site, it has triple fan, 16GB 5060 Ti cards from Asus and Gigabyte available in store. However, you might want to call first before making the trek.
Likewise, stay tuned to this page as we'll be updating it throughout the day and highlighting when online retailers have more 5060 Ti GPUs available.
STOCK ALERT: More RTX 5060 Tis are available on Scan
Zotac has joined the chat with a (frankly ridiculous) £407 5060 Ti with 8GB of video memory. But lucky for you, Asus has a 16GB model for just £1 more.
Let's get into more of the RTX 5060 Ti test results
Let me share some more of the test results I got from testing the RTX 5060 Ti for my review. Put simply, while the raw rasterization speed increases are sort of minor at 1440p upwards, DLSS is at its best here.
And at 4K, multi-frame gen is capable of some bonkers frame rates.
It's quiet...too quiet over on Best Buy
What gives!? Why isn't there any stock available yet? I know it says sold out, but nothing has changed since stock went live 90 minutes ago.
STOCK ALERT: Maingear pre-built desktops now available with RTX 5060 Ti GPUs
Pricing starts at $1623 with AMD Ryzen 5 7600X packed into it.
Meanwhile, all is rosy in the UK
Overclockers is good, Scan is good. Blighty's having a blast!
The RTX 5060 Ti page is there on Nvidia, but nobody can see it yet
Nvidia's marketplace is usually the place to find where RTX GPUs are on sale. So far, the page shows that the 5060 Ti is on sale and asks people to "come back regularly" to see stock listings.
However, if you follow the URL structure and just change 4060 to 5060, you get this coded message saying Access Denied.
So the page is there — we're just waiting for it.
Scratch that! the $499 dual-fan is back in stock
Newegg is in and out with stock, and we've got a $499 Zotac GPU back on sale.
Newegg (mostly) out of stock for now
The only one that's left is the OC triple-fan 5060 Ti from Gigabyte for $529.
STOCK ALERT: eBuyer has a 5060 Ti for £399
MSI's overclockable dual-fan card is available for £399. Go go go!
STOCK ALERT: Triple fans and overclocking capabilities for $529
We are wondering into $100 over the MSRP here, but if you want far better cooling and overclocking capabilities, Gigabyte's OC card is a good way to go.
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5060 Ti now WIDELY available in UK
We're still finding a small drip feed of 5060 Tis in the US, but UK retailers have just opened the floodgates.
Overclockers entire stock is online. Most of Scan's stock is online. CCL is the same. The only real holdout is eBuyer.
STOCK ALERT: Gigabyte joins the chat
It's looking more and more likely that $489 is the agreed upon price for the 16GB RTX 5060 Ti. The Gigabyte WindForce is available at Newegg for this price.
STOCK ALERT: Get a faster clock speed for $10 more
Yes this Zotac RTX 5060 Ti make look the same, but the clock speed has been turned up a little bit here. If you're already going a bit past the MSRP by this much, what's $10 going to do? $499 at Newegg
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5060 Ti available in the US
Newegg is the first to blink. The Zotac 16GB RTX 5060 Ti is available for $489.
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5060 Ti 16GB at eBuyer
Good news — the very 5060 Ti I reviewed is now available to buy. Bad news is its £30 over the RRP. That's not necessarily the end of the world, given the triply fan setup for cooling, but just wanted to make that clear.
STOCK ALERT: Scan joins the party
More 16GB RTX 5060 Ti cards are dropping in the UK, including 4 over at Scan at £399!
Be patient, US. Your time will come and we're watching like hawks.
STOCK ALERT: RTX 5060 Ti 16GB spotted at Overclockers
RTX 5060 Ti is now on sale!
Check out the retailers below. Stock should be coming in now! We’ll keep you updated live of any new stock that drops, as different GPU models are usually phased in.

I can finally talk about it — the RTX 5060 Ti is pretty good!
So I actually got to do something pretty special. Not only did I review the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, but this is actually the first ever GPU review for Tom's Guide! But rather than just navel gaze, let me give you some numbers.
Read the full review for all the detail you need to make a purchase, but in short, this is the GPU where DLSS 4 makes sense. We're seeing an average 27% uplift in gaming performance over 4060 Ti (even more over 3060 Ti), but when you make the most of neural rendering and multi-frame gen, this is a rather splendid mid-range card.
But just make sure you get the 16GB version. We weren't given the 8GB (and looks like others in the press didn't get this either), but based on some of the moments where there were some subtle bottlenecking in more intensive multiplayer games without DLSS at 16GB, 8GB is going to have a tough time.
10 minutes to go... maybe!
Again, this is based on assumptions from how other retailers worked, but we're expecting RTX 5060 Ti sales to start at 9am ET / 2pm BST. So keep it locked here and I'll take you through the stock we see!
Who should buy RTX 5060 Ti?
I know there's a lot of GPUs now from Nvidia — the latest crop involving the RTX 5090, 5080, 5070, and now the 5060 Ti. But which one is best for you? Lets take a look at the power levels and what they give you.
- RTX 5060 Ti: This card targets 1440p gaming, and DLSS 4 should make this a solid card for the mid-range market.
- RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti: Given the frame rates I was able to get at 4K with all the settings turned on, these are great GPUs for getting that additional horsepower for 1440p gaming that creeps into the higher resolutions. Plus, that additional 512-bit bus will stop any sort of bottlenecking in any intensive multiplayer action.
- RTX 5080: This is a solid target for 4K gaming. DLSS 4 is capable of great things here, but raw rendering speed doesn't match the best of the best.
- RTX 5090: You are a pro gamer if you're thinking about getting the supercar of the GPU industry. Maximum everything in here.
Reminder! Buying RTX 5060 Ti in the US? Go for these first!
GPU | Price | % increase compared to MSRP |
|---|---|---|
$429 | 0% | |
$419 | 10.6% | |
$472 | 10.2% |
The price increases on RTX 5060 Ti are visible all over US retailers — to the point that there's only one GPU that is available at the exact MSRP that Nvidia has recommended. In fact, if you're not careful, you may end up spending up to $170 more than the suggested price!
Aim for these first, as they offer the best pricing. And if you're in the UK, you don't have to worry about this, as retailers like Scan and Overclockers are going for retail price.
T-minus 1 hour
If our predictions are correct, you should wee RTX 5060 Ti GPUs go on sale in just under an hour at 9am ET / 2pm BST!
Is AMD's competition just around the corner?
At the moment, the lower-end GPU market is owned by Nvidia — jumping the gun first and launching the RTX 5060 family. But is there a competitor coming from AMD soon? Rumors suggest "yes."
As reported by Video Cardz, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT looks set to be announced at Computex 2025 — sporting identical 16GB and 8GB video memory configurations and (probably) being priced similar.
So if you want to wait for the pricing war between these two, hold onto that money for just a little longer.
Buying Tip #2: Create an account and pre-save your payment details
All to often I see a lot of people fall at the last hurdle of buying a high-demand product because they didn't set up a store account before.
Whether it's Newegg, Best Buy or anyone else, take the time now to setup an account and pre-fill in all your payment and address details. That way, everything is saved and you can just click through all of this — instead of trying to feverishly type it out while the stock drains away.
Buying tip #1: Start refreshing a few minutes before
The first tip comes from the last time I had to join a rush to buy a GPU. Given the timing of this launch seems particularly strict, then the queueing system should start at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm GMT on the dot.
If that's the case, it pays to start refreshing the product page of your chosen GPU a few minutes before — that way you can hopefully be one of the first to see that "coming soon" button change to "add to cart."
Micro Center pricing is out of control
Normally, Micro Center is the retailer that (if you're lucky enough to live near one) you can get a better deal on Nvidia GPUs.
Well, I'm hoping that this are just temporary listing prices, because the pricing is out of control here with a 10+% price increase over the MSRP.
When do we expect sales to start?
All we know officially is that the RTX 5060 Ti is going on sale today. No launch timing has been revealed by Nvidia. That doesn't mean I can't use a little bit of historical context to give you a pretty good idea of when to start refreshing those product pages:
- The RTX 5090 went on sale at 9am ET/2pm GMT
- The RTX 5080 and 5070 cards went on sale at the same time
So if I was a betting man, I'd say the RTX 5060 Ti will go on sale at 9am ET / 6am PT in the US, and 2pm BST in the UK. We're chasing down confirmation on this.
Let's talk tech specs
So, as you probably already know (given you're reading this), Nvidia announced the entire RTX 5060 family yesterday. While we're waiting a little while longer for the 5060 to be available for sale (with the 5060 Ti coming today), Nvidia did share some specs for these.
| Row 0 - Cell 0 | RTX 5060 Ti | RTX 5060 |
Price | $379/£349 (8GB) / $429/£399 (16GB) | $299 |
Release date | April 16 | May |
Video memory | 8GB GDDR7 / 16GB GDDR7 | 8GB GDDR7 |
RT Cores | 72 TFLOPS | 58 TFLOPS |
Tensor Cores | 759 AI TOPS | 614 AI TOPS |
Shader Cores | 24 TFLOPS | 19 TFLOPS |
DisplayPort | 2.1b | 2.1b |
Linus Tech Tips goes NUCLEAR on Nvidia
Reports are coming out that Nvidia has been actively preventing GPU manufacturers from giving reviewers the 8GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti. And on top of that, Team Green could not have a reviews program for the lower-end RTX 5060.
This is seemingly confirmed by LTT, as Linus released a video overnight with a rant about this — along with the uncertainty that comes with the pricing, and how that can massively impact a review of a cheaper GPU like this.
That being said, we have seen some cards available at retail price in the US, and the UK seemingly isn't facing this problem across pretty much the entire range. So any opinions you see (including mine) will be sound — provided you go for retail price or only slightly above.
Price check: the UK's looking good, but expect some increases in US
Welcome to the live blog! Rather than do the rudimentary intro post where I talk about the RTX 5060 Ti to appease the Google masters, let's do something useful here and see what the pricing situation is actually looking like in the U.S. and U.K.
Starting with Britain, it's good news! Most retailers are offering the 8GB and 16GB versions of the 5060 Ti for the suggested retail prices of £349 and £399, respectively. Best retailers to go for here are Scan and Overclockers.
Meanwhile in the U.S., I've got to be real, there are price increases above the MSRP going on here. With potential increases of up to $170, let's do this right. If you are keen to get a 5060 Ti, here are the options that won't feel like you've just been scalped.
GPU | Price | % increase compared to MSRP |
|---|---|---|
$429 | 0% | |
$419 | 10.6% | |
$472 | 10.2% |
On average, outside of the PNY from Newegg, we're seeing an average of a 10% increase in price for any US gamers looking to upgrade. That's going to sting!
