Nvidia announces RTX 5060 release date of May 19 for both the $299 desktop GPU and $1,099 gaming laptops

Nvidia has finally announced the RTX 5060 release date, its latest RTX Blackwell graphics card and the most affordable to date. Theoretically. With a $299 starting price, and no Founders Edition card to help enforce that never-more-ephemeral MSRP, there's precious little to make one confident that will sticker price will be stuck to.

Precious little save for the fact that you can still buy RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB cards for only $40 higher than MSRP today. So maybe, just maybe there will be a sub-$300 out there for PC gamers on a budget.
