Ray tracing 8-game average FPS
Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 8 ray traced 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 different games.
All-in-all, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is a decent GPU for ray tracing – at least at 1080p, when using demanding settings. Its overall performance is similar to AMD's RX 7900 XT, a GPU that was selling for £700+ over its lifetime, while it's 15% ahead of the 4060 Ti 16GB. Gains over the 3060 Ti are even bigger than we saw for rasterisation, this time hitting 64% – and a lot of that is down to the memory capacity.
Cost per frame, launch MSRP data
Please note this only compares ray traced performance and value.
Ray tracing cost per frame again scales very similarly to the RTX 5070, with basically no difference in value.
Cost per frame, current pricing data
The same goes for data based on current pricing – the B580 is more competitive here, but the 5060 Ti 16GB and 5070 occupy the top two positions.
