GeForce RTX 5060 Ti tested in Linux: close to RX 7700 XT
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti for the first time fully tested in games under Linux, and the results were encouraging. Enthusiasts of the resource Phoronix conducted a series of tests at the base Ubuntu 25.04 with core Linux 6.14 and drivers NVIDIA 575.51.02 (beta). The following participated in the tests: PNY RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB VRAM, which was compared with video cards of the series RTX 40/50 and RX 7000/9000.
В Counter-Strike 2 (4K) the novelty has bypassed RTX 4060 on 42% and almost caught up RTX 4070, showing the result above RX 7700 XT. In GTA V at 1440p she caught up with RTX 4070 and even competed with RX 7900 XT, especially in conditions where AMD drivers lack optimization. At 4K, performance remained stable above 60 FPS, although slightly inferior to the RTX 4070.
В HITMAN 3 и DiRT Rally 2.0 the video card has come close again RX 7700 XT, but with a smaller lag. But when enabling ray tracing, for example, in GPUScore: Breaking Limit, the RTX 5060 Ti leaves AMD far behind thanks to more mature drivers and NVIDIA's RT Core acceleration.
What is especially nice is that Energy efficiency the cards turned out to be at the level: average 138 W, peak — 183 W, while the RX 7700 XT consumed up to 220 W. The temperatures of the PNY sample varied from 67°C on average up to 77°C maximum.
RTX 5060 Ti shows performance level RX 7700 XT in regular games, surpassing it in ray tracing и energy efficiencyFor Linux users, this is a balanced and stable graphics card with an excellent driver, especially if the launch price is reasonable.
