61.9 Workstation Score
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti16GB GDDR7128-bit180W
Why we recommend this

The 16GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus and a 2692MHz boost clock make this card a capable 1440p performer with DLSS 4.0 support. Its compact 246mm dual-fan design fits easily into smaller builds while still delivering modern connectivity like DisplayPort 2.1b and PCIe 5.0. This GPU is best for mainstream gamers seeking high-refresh 1440p gaming with ray tracing, though its 52/100 workstation score limits its appeal for professional rendering tasks.
