NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB — Benchmarks & Specs
Short answer: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB generates a median 59.0 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under ollama, across 8 cited runs from RunAIHome, computingforgeeks.com, DatabaseMart, Quantized.fyi, compute-market.com and LocalLLaMA. 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). At the $491.99 Amazon price checked 1 h ago (prices change), that is 120.0 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index. That ranks #13 of 29 GPUs on tok/s per $1,000 in the SpecPicks value table (table built 2026-10-21 13:12 UTC).
- Median speed 59.0 tok/s 8 cited runs, 7-9B at Q4, ollama
- Fits in 8 GB up to Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M → at ~8K context; 8 of 23 models in the Will-It-Run matrix
- Lowest linked price $491.99 Amazon, checked ; prices change
- Value Index 120.0 tok/s per $1,000 median speed ÷ the price above
Bottom line: how fast is the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB?
SpecPicks median: 59.0 tokens/sec across 8 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under ollama (range 16.9–90.2 tok/s), from RunAIHome, computingforgeeks.com, DatabaseMart (2 runs), Quantized.fyi, compute-market.com (2 runs), LocalLLaMA. At the $491.99 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 120.0 tok/s per $1,000. One of those runs: llama3.1:8b at q4_K_M generates 75.1 tokens/sec under ollama, per computingforgeeks.com. At 1440p Ultra, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB averages 65 fps in Starfield, per Gamers Nexus. In 3DMark Wild Life Unlimited it scores 100,315 points, per Notebookcheck. Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is llama2:13b (13B parameters, q4_K_M), generating 53.4 tokens/sec under ollama, per RunAIHome. That run's source does not report a context length; the Will-It-Run matrix sizes each model at its listed quantization with an ~8K context, and by that measure Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M is the largest that fits in 8 GB.
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; the SpecPicks median is computed here from the runs it names, each a row in the AI table, and the per-$1,000 figure divides it by the dated listing price. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
