Cyber Monday is here! What could be more exciting than giving your gaming PC a special treat with a brand-new graphics card? The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti WindForce Max OC 8G, which usually costs $389.99, is now available for just $299.99, an all-time low price. Similarly, the $399.99 GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Eagle Max OC 8G is also priced the same.

The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is a decent graphics card, but its 8GB capacity and initial launch price can sometimes give it a bit of a negative reputation. Still, this Blackwell-based card has dropped to an all-time low of $299.99, making it worth considering if you're looking to breathe new life into your gaming PC and want to be mindful of your budget. Keep in mind that choosing an 8GB model instead of a 16GB one involves some trade-offs, so it's a good idea to do a little research to see what best suits your needs.

The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti WindForce Max OC 8G features a dual-slot design and measures up to 8.2 inches (208 mm), making it one of the more compact options available. This makes it a wonderful choice for older systems or smaller cases. If you have the space, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Eagle Max OC 8G (11 inches or 281 mm) comes with a higher factory overclock. Regardless of the model you pick, the 180W graphics card only requires a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. For optimal performance, we recommend a power supply with at least 650W.
