While GPU prices are a bit of a lottery in the US right now, PC gamers in the UK are often enjoying plentiful stock and falling prices. The latest new GPU to get a price drop is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which is currently going for just £379.99 at Overclockers, saving you £20 on the MSRP, and enabling you to pick up a decent graphics card with plenty of VRAM.
I recently tested this GPU for my Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti review, and found that in some ways it was an even better buy than the more expensive RTX 5070, thanks to its extra 4GB of VRAM. This Nvidia GPU already offers reasonable value at MSRP, but it’s a really good deal for £379.99, especially for the 16GB version. There’s now competition from the cheaper AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, of course, but the Nvidia GPU is quicker, and worth the extra money at this price.
One of the main benefits of this GPU, of course, is its support for the Nvidia DLSS 4 ecosystem, with the latest upscaling tech now featuring in many of the latest games, much more so than AMD’s competing FSR 4 tech, and enables you to vastly improve the frame rates in your games with minimal impact on image quality. In particular, new games such as Doom The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle run great on the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, and you can even get them running at 2,560 x 1,440 as well as 1,920 x 1,080.
You can also happily max out demanding games such as Cyberpunk 2077 on this GPU, including the full Overdrive ray tracing mode. In my tests, I found you could enable this setting at 1080p, then enable DLSS on the Quality setting (which still looks great with DLSS 4), and it would average 56fps. That’s a solid enough starting point to then enable Nvidia’s new multi frame gen tech, which uses AI to insert extra frames between the ones rendered by your GPU, pushing the average frame rate all the way up to 179fps.
Best of all, though, is the price of £379.99, which is great value for this GPU with 16GB of memory, buying you a Gainward RTX 5060 Ti Python III card. You just need to click on this link here to take you to the deal.
If you can’t quite run to that price, you can still buy an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB for £314.99 from the same retailer. It’s not as fast as the RTX 5060 Ti, but it’s still a big upgrade over the RTX 5060, and a decent GPU for the money.
