Benchmarks

Measured results, not specifications. Percentages are the gap to the leading product in each test.

Blender Cycles (GPU)

Blender 4.5, Blender Open Data (CC0). Median of monster + junkshop + classroom, combined samples/min.

Blender renders 3D scenes by tracing light through them, which loads every shader unit on the card at once. The score measures sustained render throughput, so it tells you what a card does in Cycles and similar renderers rather than what it does in a game. Figures come from Blender's Open Data project, which places no restriction on reuse, and we publish the median of every submission for that card on the same Blender version.

Verdict

NVIDIA Gigabyte Windforce OC GeForce RTX 5060

5.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid entry-level pick if its price and 8GB VRAM allocation match your target resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060

7 / 10 Expert Rating

The true entry point into Blackwell — DLSS and ray tracing at $299, but the 8GB of VRAM means the 5060 Ti 16GB is the smarter long-term buy if the budget stretches.
