While it is unconfirmed that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Series will even launch in March, fresh rumours about the yet-unannounced series continue to spring up. Supposedly, NVIDIA will ditch using the 12VHPWR, 16-pin power connector with it.
More specifically, and according to the Chinese tech media “Brother Pan Talks Computers”, they claim that the RTX 5060 series will revert back to using the standard 8-pin power connector. Further, they mentioned that the GPU sub-series will also require a 650W PSU in order to run efficiently, a 100W bump up from the original 550W requirement for the RTX 4060 series.
If this does indeed ring true, then there is the possibility that NVIDIA will only release a Founders Edition for the RTX 5060 Ti, while non-Ti model will only be made available as AIB partner cards. Further speculation posted on the person’s Douyin account says that the 5060 Ti will somewhere between 3,299 and 3,599 yuan (between RM2,008 and RM2,189), while the non Ti 5060 will range anywhere between 2,599 and 3,399 yuan (~RM1,580 and RM2,067).
Again, this is all speculation and should be taken with the usual sprinkling of MSG. At the time of writing, NVIDIA itself hasn’t made any official announcements.
