A new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti benchmark has appeared online, and it not only gives an indication of the performance of the new gaming GPU, but also appears to confirm a couple of key specs. An entry for the new graphics card has just appeared on the Geekbench browser, and the listing also contains details of the number of streaming multiprocessor (SM) units, as well as the clock speed and VRAM.
Recent leaks about this new Nvidia GPU have pointed to it coming in both 16GB and 8GB flavors, with the RTX 5060 Ti price rumored to be just $429 for the 16GB version. It’s the latter VRAM capacity that’s listed in this benchmark leak, but it’s the other RTX 5060 Ti specs in the listing that are potentially more interesting.
Let’s start with the number of compute units listed, which the Geekbench Browser entry states is 36. Of course, “compute unit” is a terminology used by AMD rather than Nvidia, but the latter’s equivalent building block is its SM, and 36 is a number we’ve seen rumored for this GPU elsewhere.
If that figure is correct, we can use our existing knowledge of the Blackwell architecture to infer that the RTX 5060 Ti has 36 RT cores for ray tracing (one for each SM), 4,608 CUDA cores, and 144 Tensor cores for AI work, such as Nvidia DLSS 4 and neural rendering.
The clock speed also appears in the listing, with the maximum frequency detected as 2,647MHz. That’s higher than the 2,572MHz boost clock that’s appeared in recent rumors, suggesting that this may be an overclocked card. However, given that Nvidia hasn’t even officially announced this GPU, let alone the clock speeds, all this information is best taken with a grain of salt for now.
As for the benchmark result itself, Geekbench shows an OpenCL score of 146,234. This isn’t a gaming result, but is instead based on using the GPU’s CUDA cores to process compute workloads. That’s a little higher than most of the RTX 4060 Ti results in the browser, where around 135,000 is a decent result, suggesting a modest increase in shader power. However, without a direct, like-to-like comparison result from the same test system, it’s impossible to infer a meaningful analysis from this result.
