The RTX 5060 & RTX 5060 Ti release date has finally arrived, with the Ti variant arriving first. Nvidia has now officially announced the new cards, so it’s time to start thinking about where to buy one of the 5060 family GPUs. As the mid-range cards in the series, they will aim to offer an excellent price-to-performance ratio, offering the cheapest entry point to Nvidia’s new Multi Frame Generation technology exclusive to the 50 series.

We’ve put together all the best retailers in the US, UK, and Canada if you’re looking to buy an RTX 5060 or RTX 5060 Ti graphics card on launch day. While there was no confirmed 5060 Ti release time, availability went live at 9 AM EST, just like prior launches.

Will there be RTX 5060 & RTX 5060 Ti pre orders?

When it comes to pre-orders for the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, we don’t expect these to be available in the traditional sense. While we see hardware such as the Nintendo Switch 2 getting pre-orders well ahead of launch, Nvidia has yet to announce the new cards, and as such, that doesn’t leave much room for a pre-order phase.

That said, there are still some retailers that we tend to see advertising ‘pre-orders’ – these include the likes of Overclockers UK. These aren’t always a guarantee of purchase, instead being more akin to email emails or app-based notifications in response to stock issues.

Will RTX 5060 & RTX 5060 Ti stock be available?

Every single RTX 50 series card has suffered from poor stock availability at launch so far, which leads us to suggest that the 5060 series may have to endure something similar. However, with our list of retailers above, you can give yourself the best chance of snagging a new Nvidia graphics card as soon as possible. There’s also the danger of GPU scalpers around a launch like this.

We’ll be keeping a closer eye on stock levels moving forward. So far, leaks suggest there will be at least four different variants of MSI cards for the 5060 Ti, while other early 5060 Ti listings suggest brands like Gigabyte are putting a lot of focus on the launch, with up to nine Ti variants reportedly developed.
