NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5060 mobility GPUs are slated for launch later this month. As expected, early benchmarks of the RTX 5060 have surfaced just in time. Geekbench OpenCL includes compute or GPGPU tests, and doesn’t necessarily represent gaming performance. However, since the Ada and Blackwell architectures are very similar, they should be comparable.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobility Specs
The GeForce RTX 5060 mobile GPU is a marginal upgrade over the RTX 4060. It gets two more compute cores, higher operating clocks, and perhaps faster GDDR7 memory. The bus width and buffer size are unchanged. Here’s a comparison versus the RTX 4060 laptop GPU:
- SM Count: 26 (24).
- Shaders (CUDA): 3,328 (3,072).
- Boost Clocks: 2 GHz (1.75 GHz).
- Memory: 8 GB.
- Memory Clocks: 24 Gbps (16 Gbps).
- Bus width: 128-bit (128-bit).
- Bandwidth: 384 GB/s (256 GB/s).
- TBP: Variable.
The GeForce RTX 5060 mobile scores 105477 points in the Geekbench 6 (OpenCL) benchmark, making it 7-15% faster than its predecessor. This number represents sheer compute improvements rather than faster memory or architectural gains.
Gaming workloads should see relatively larger uplifts as the RTX 4060 is often let down by its paltry 256 GB/s memory bandwidth. The faster GDDR7 chips should grant sizable gains in memory-bound Unreal Engine 5 games. The RTX 5060 laptops are expected to cost $100-150 more than existing RTX 4060 offerings.
