Nvidia kept the launch of the GeForce RTX 5060 – successor to the popular GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 4060 series – for Computex. It wasn’t exactly quiet, but the launch was unusual – drivers enabling reviews weren’t released until Monday evening, after sales began. Likely due to backlash over the RTX 5060 still offering only 8GB of memory, four years after the 12GB RTX 3060. As a result, it’s faced a fairly cold reception.

If you want to enable demanding ray tracing effects even on weaker cards, you can turn on FSR or DLSS, which render frames with fewer samples and use “upscaling” – or rather super resolution – to reconstruct the image for the target resolution. For Ultra and RT Ultra settings, we choose the higher-quality Balanced mode; for RT Overdrive with path tracing, we use FSR in Performance mode.
