Rarely On Sale ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX ™ 5060 Ti 8GB GDDR7 OC Edition
Amazon

The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC Edition is finally available at a price that makes sense. Normally retailing for $539.99, this GPU is now just $399.99, a 26% discount that transforms it from an overambitious mid-tier card into one of the best bang-for-your-buck options in the current lineup.

When it launched, the RTX 5060 Ti caught some flak for its price-to-performance ratio, but with this new deal, ASUS’s well-built TUF edition becomes an appealing choice for gamers looking to play the latest titles at 1080p or 1440p without breaking the bank.

What You’re Getting

The ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5060 Ti features 8GB of next-generation GDDR7 memory, running on NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace architecture. That means better ray tracing, AI-driven upscaling via DLSS 3, and improved efficiency across workloads. It’s designed for stable 1080p and smooth 1440p gaming, whether you’re running demanding single-player campaigns or competitive shooters.

The TUF build is one of the most durable in the segment, featuring military-grade capacitors, a metal shroud, and triple axial-tech fans that keep thermals under control. Add HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 support, and you have a GPU that’s both future-ready and battle-tested for marathon gaming sessions.

Why It’s Worth It

At launch, the RTX 5060 Ti wasn’t quite the value champion NVIDIA fans hoped for. But at $399.99, this ASUS TUF version becomes a solid buy for budget-minded gamers who still want premium build quality and reliable performance. It’s not a 4K powerhouse, but it delivers fast, consistent frame rates at 1080p and 1440p with ray tracing and DLSS support that noticeably boost visuals.

ASUS’s TUF series is known for being over-engineered in the best way — quiet cooling, rock-solid components, and a design that lasts. For under $400, you’re getting a card that can easily handle today’s top titles while offering stability for years of gaming.

The Bottom Line

The ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5060 Ti OC Edition might have seemed overpriced when it launched, but now it’s a great deal at $399.99 (26% off). With excellent thermals, reliable performance, and a rugged build, it’s finally the right time to add this GPU to your setup.

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.

Valve's decision to officially support SteamOS 3.8 on standard gaming PCs has opened the door to an entirely new class of Steam Machines - without requiring gamers to buy Valve's own hardware. Now, a new benchmark from YouTuber ETA Prime suggests that a high-end AMD-powered mini PC can outperform Valve's upcoming Steam Machine by a comfortable margin. The only problem? It also costs several times more.

The testing highlights both the flexibility of SteamOS and the growing appeal of AMD's latest integrated graphics, but it also raises an important question: how much extra performance is actually worth paying for?
