With the launch of the RTX 5060 Ti on April 16th (and 5060 coming in May), you might be starting to think about building a new PC with a new mid-range graphics card at the heart of it. In its first-party benchmarks, Nvidia was keen to show off the 5060 series as a fantastic upgrade to anyone using an old GTX card, boasting up to 50x the performance with help from DLSS 4.

Aside from a new PC (or a simple GPU upgrade), you should also think about the peripherals. We recently added the RTX 5060 Ti to our list of the best GPUs for 1440p, so we figured, why not put together a list of the best monitors for the 5060 Ti? 1440p displays are an excellent choice for the mid-range card, but here’s what else you should consider.

A selection of gaming monitors for the RTX 5060 Ti

Let’s jump right into our pick of monitors for the 5060 Ti.

Whether you opt for a 1080p or 1440p gaming monitor is ultimately up to you – we’ve even thrown in a 4K display if you prefer to focus on productivity a little more. Brands such as BenQ say that 1080p is still a “sweet spot” resolution for esports, so if that’s your niche, then a high refresh rate full HD monitor will pair perfectly with the 5060 Ti. For most people, we’d recommend upgrading to 1440p if you’re still playing on a lower resolution monitor.

Is the 5060 Ti good for 1440p?

In our hands-on RTX 5060 Ti review, we tested a range of different games with the new Nvidia card, covering benchmarks for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. You may be glad to hear that the card can even hold its own in some games at 4K, but it’s safe to say that it is primarily designed for stable 1080p or 1440p performance. Check out our full range of gaming benchmarks below.

So, yes, the 5060 Ti is an excellent choice for 1440p, especially if you’re working with a more limited budget. We tested the 16GB card, and it’s the one we’d recommend if you want to ensure the best possible performance. Comparisons versus the 8GB variant show that the VRAM makes a difference.
