Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. We've recently switched to using the geometric mean instead of the arithmetic mean for overall performance, given it provides a more accurate and balanced representation of GPU performance across a number of different games.
Over the twelve games tested, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB sits neatly between the RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT at 1080p, given it's 7% faster than the former but 8% slower than the latter. We're looking at a 15% uplift over the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, which isn't amazing but also isn't bad in the context of the 50 series. Gains over the RTX 3060 Ti however, average out at just 31% which doesn't sound like much progress given that GPU launched back in late 2020.
It's also a decent 1440p option, though it does fall away at this resolution in comparison to other GPUs, due to the relatively narrow 128-bit memory interface. Here it's just 5% faster than the 7700 XT and 10% slower than the 7800 XT, though it does now offer 19% better performance than its direct predecessor. Versus the 3060 Ti, we're looking at just a 33% gain.
Here we take a closer look at the uplift over the 4060 Ti 16GB. At 1080p, the 5060 Ti 16GB is anywhere from 3-27% faster, quite the spread!
The 5060 Ti 16GB does scale better at 1440p, given the range is now 7-34% over its predecessor.
