Where to buy RTX 5060 — live updates and stock checker
Here's where to buy Nvidia's new 5060
As you may have seen Nvidia announce during Computex 2025, the RTX 5060 is going on sale today — both in desktop and laptop GPU form.
Provided you can get these for the retail pricing ($299 / £279 for desktop and from $1,099 for laptop), this is actually a surprisingly good buy based on our RTX 5060 testing. And if past sales trends are anything to go by, we're predicting stock to go on sale at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST.
So just like I did for the RTX 5090, 5080 5070 and 5060 Ti, I'm going to help you buy yours. I know a thing or two about finding the MSRPs rather than the price gougers, so stick around for all the best places to buy an RTX 5060.
Update (1 pm ET): Newegg has several Gigabyte 5060 cards in stock, including the GIGABYTE AERO GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 ($349), the GIGABYTE Low Profile GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 Low Profile ($339), and the GIGABYTE Eagle GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 ($329)

LIVE: LATEST UPDATES
No changes
As of 12:30 p.m., Pacific, the availability of the RTX 5060 has largely stayed the same.
There are still Gigabyte-branded cards listed as available at New Egg. Best Buy still has the Gigabyte version listed as 'Coming Soon.'
Microcenter is listing the GPU as available for pick up in store and hasn't updated its website regarding availability so presumably there are still some cards in stock there.
Amazon has several brands including Zotac but those are listed as out of stock currently.
Asus and PNY version are sold out at every retailer that we've looked at.
5060 Ti in stock most places
While we wait for the 5060 to come back in stock at most retailers, the Ti version is largely in stock at most retailers.
It is a bit more expensive than the 5060 but if you don't want to wait or play the stock game, it might be the better option for you and it is a more powerful card.
As a reminder, there are some Gigabyte-branded 5060 cards at New Egg right now.
Keeping an eye on Best Buy
Best Buy has yet to have any RTX 5060 cards in stock with most listed as sold out.
However, a trio of cards from Gigabyte are listed as "Coming soon." They are the only cards listed this way on Best Buy's site.
You do need to have a Best Buy account to even purchase the card, so get that going if you haven't set one up yet.
- GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 WINDFORCE OC 8G Graphics Card, 8GB 128-bit GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, WINDFORCE cooling system - Black
- GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 AERO OC 8G Graphics Card, 8GB 128-bit GDDR7, PCIe 5.0, WINDFORCE cooling system - White

Asus models available
Asus currently has several RTX 5060 GPUs available for sale through its online store, starting at $299. They are:
Gigabyte RTX 5060 stock available at B&H
B&H also has a large listing of RTX 5060 cards, but at the moment, only three Gigabyte cards are currently for sale:
Stock available at MSI
MSI also currently has two 5060 cards in stock:
Newegg has a few models for sale
Newegg just listed a few Gigabyte cards for sale:
One thing to bear in mind before you buy...
I'm still not seeing anything in any of the main retailers — but there is one thing I should probably mention at this juncture. Tom's Guide and other media outlets haven't been given any independent review time with the cards ahead of release.
True, we've had a tiny amount of play time with the GPU already but this only constitutes some first impressions and Nvidia has been careful to make sure we only share information about games that have been extremely well-optimized for Nvidia GPUs. The games we can talk about are Avowed, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom: The Dark Ages, Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel Rivals.
This in no way constitutes a full review and, like any consumer tech purchase, we'd strongly recommend you read a fully independent review of the product before you commit to purchasing it.
On sale at Micro Center — sort of
This is interesting. Micro Center is seemingly listing an MSI RTX 5060 SHADOW 2X Overclocked Dual Fan 8GB GPU for sale — but only if you buy it in store. There's no option for shipping and the 18 minute pickup feature is also unavailable.
Even more strangely, the GPU is listed as being discounted. The price here states $299 — which is the MSRP for this configuration.
With still no results from other retailers like Amazon or Nvidia itself, this is interesting but something to perhaps be wary of.
The listings are prepped
Some retailers already have holding pages in place for when their RTX 5060 listings go live.
The screenshot above shows U.K. retailer Scan's 8GB RTX 5060 listing page with an option to be notified via email once the GPU becomes available.
Checking retailers...
I'm hopeful we'll start to see the 5060 cards dropping at retailers like Best Buy and Newegg very soon.
Nothing right now, but as usual, these could sell out very fast once they do drop — so you may need to get an order in quickly to secure yours.
RTX 5060 Ti vs RTX 5060
The RTX 5060 Ti was launched in April and comes in two SKUs: 8GB and 16GB with prices starting at $379 for the former and $429 for the latter.
You can check out our full review of that card here but here's how it stacks up against the RTX 5060:
| Row 0 - Cell 0 | RTX 5060 Ti | RTX 5060 |
Price | $379/£349 (8GB) / $429/£399 (16GB) | $299 |
Release date | April 16 | May 19 |
Video memory | 8GB GDDR7 / 16GB GDDR7 | 8GB GDDR7 |
RT Cores | 72 TFLOPS | 58 TFLOPS |
Tensor Cores | 759 AI TOPS | 614 AI TOPS |
Shader Cores | 24 TFLOPS | 19 TFLOPS |
DisplayPort | 2.1b | 2.1b |
An 18% improvement over the RTX 4060?
We haven't been able to properly test the RTX 5060 yet, but a some laptop GPU benchmarks have already popped up on Geekbench last month, revealing its OpenCL results.
According to the tests, there's roughly an 18% average difference compared to an RTX 4060 laptop graphic card. It's worth noting that Geekbench's OpenCL, which tests a GPU's ability for parallel processing, image rendering and more, only offers a general look at how a graphics card can perform.
But it does give us a hint at the RTX 5060 laptop GPU's performance.
RTX 5060 laptops coming this month
If you're holding out for an RTX 5060-enabled laptop, then the good news is that several have already been announced with availability this month.
Prices will start at $1,099 and we've got confirmation the GPU will be available in the likes of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S, Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, Alienware 16 Area-51, Razer Blade 16, HP Omen 16, Lenovo Legion 5i Pro and more.
When does stock go on sale?
Nvidia has already confirmed the official launch date of the RTX 5060 is today, May 19 — but we don't know exactly when stock will become available in your location. However, I'm making a comfortable bet that we'll start to see stock appearing at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST.
Why? Well, judging from past events that seems to be the sweet spot for retailers. Stay tuned here to see if that prediction comes true.
Will this budget GPU be good enough?
Let's be clear, this is a lower-end GPU with 8GB of VRAM and, understandably, there's been some questions over performance.
We've had some time with the RTX 5060 already and, although we were playing under Nvidia's conditions, the early outlook is promising. We played 5 titles at 1080p under Nvidia’s scenarios and found the games lived up to (and in some cases, slightly exceed) the company’s performance claims.
