NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 — Benchmarks & Specs

8 GB VRAM$299 MSRP

Short answer: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 generates 61.7 tokens/sec on qwen3:8b (q4_K_M) under ollama in a single cited run, per DatabaseMart; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median. Its 8 GB of VRAM holds up to Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (8 of 23 models fit).

Bottom line: how fast is the GeForce RTX 5060?

At 1440p Ultra, the GeForce RTX 5060 averages 81 fps in Cyberpunk 2077, per Digital Trends. For local LLM inference it generates 61.7 tokens/sec running qwen3:8b at q4_K_M under ollama, per DatabaseMart. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 34,779 points, per Digital Trends. Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the qwen3:8b run above (8B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
