NVIDIA & AMD Expected to Release “Mid-Tier” GPUs in May: Potential GeForce RTX 5060 8GB & Radeon RX 9060 XT Models

So, I heard this thing, and maybe it’s just me, but aren’t NVIDIA and AMD kinda playing chess with us mortals who just want decent graphics without selling a kidney? Go figure. Anyway, it looks like they’re gearing up—like actually—to throw some new GPUs our way. Supposedly, May’s the month, but who keeps track, right?

So here’s the deal: NVIDIA, the green team, or whatever you call them, is dropping the GeForce RTX 5060. Yeah, by May 19. Specific, much? It’s packing 8 GB GDDR7 VRAM. Said it’s faster or something, 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus—which apparently matters if you’re into that techy stuff. But get this, it’s gonna eat up more power. Like, 35W more than the RTX 4060. My electricity bill is crying already.

Oh! And stats. Can’t forget them:

– More CUDA cores by 25% (Yay?).
– Memory’s the same, which sounds like a win.
– GDDR7 tho, at 28 Gbps, if that clicks.
– More bandwidth? Yep, a hefty 64% boost.
– But, you’re dealing with a 30% jump in power. Trade-offs, people.

Switching gears—AMD! Team Red, I guess, is rolling out the Radeon RX 9060 XT. It’s kind of like a big deal at Computex on May 21. That’s what they’re saying, anyway. Navi 44 die thingy, 128-bit bus, and you’re looking at choices—8GB or maybe 16GB, if you’re fancy. Rumor has it, they’ve stuck 2,048 SPs in there. Half of the RX 9070 XT, for comparison’s sake (as if I’m busting out calculators).

And clocks. Can’t mess those up:

– Game clocks set at 2620 MHz.
– Boost clocks hitting 3230 MHz. Sounds fast. Speedy even.

—So, if you’re like, gaming in 1080p or whatever comes after that, this might work. May, let’s see what you’ve got.

They say competition’s heating up, and we’ve got our popcorn ready for Computex 2025. Gonna be glued to the action—well, unless I get distracted by something shiny. But here’s hoping we get a peek at these tech goodies. Stay tuned, if you’re into surprises.

Anyway, back to—wait, what was I on about? Oh, right. GPUs. Let’s see if this pans out.
