We're seeing more models listed at MSRP, availability be damned, and there's...

Butter. Corn on the cob. Potatoes. White wine. These are all things that pair nicely with lobster. But chips?

NVIDIA is not yet finished fleshing out its GeForce RTX 50 series lineup based on its Blackwell architecture, and we're not just talking about more budget-oriented GPUs, either.

On paper, it's hard to quibble with NVIDIA's pricing on its newly minted GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (see our review), even with much of the uplift over last-gen coming from DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. The 16GB model at a $429 MSRP is actually $70 less than the launch price of the previous generation GeForce RTX 4060...
