The RTX 5060 Ti is the only card in NVIDIA's current 60-class range sold in two different memory sizes, and that single spec matters more to how long the card lasts than which brand builds it. The RTX 5060 Ti price in South Africa opens at R7,999 for an 8GB card and climbs past R11,000 once you move to the 16GB version. Here is what actually separates the two, and what the rest of the money in this lineup buys.

Quick Answer

The RTX 5060 Ti is available at Evetech from R7,999 including VAT, with 6 listings in stock spanning standalone 8GB and 16GB cards, a 16GB card bundled with a power supply, and a complete gaming PC built around the GPU. The GPU core itself does not change between memory sizes; what changes is how comfortably the card handles higher resolutions and texture-heavy games as they get more demanding over the next few years.

💰 Current RTX 5060 Ti prices in South Africa

Prices verified 16 July 2026. These are in-stock models at Evetech, cheapest first, and every price includes VAT.

  • Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti DUAL 8GB PCIe Gen 5: R7,999
  • MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8G Shadow 2X OC Plus - 4608 Cores, DLSS 4 GPU: R8,699
  • MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8G VENTUS 2X OC Plus Graphics Card: R9,999
  • Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Infinity 16GB GDDR7 GPU: R11,499
  • ASUS TUF RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Bundle + 750W PSU: R14,999
  • Ryzen 7 7800X3D + RTX 5060 Ti Gaming PC - 16GB: R31,499

Notice the jump between the two MSI cards and the Palit Infinity: that R1,500 gap is not really about MSI versus Palit, it is the price of doubling VRAM from 8GB to 16GB. The ASUS TUF bundle above that adds a 750W power supply into the box, which is worth checking against buying the parts separately before assuming it is the pricier option. Full specs and live stock for every card sit on the RTX 5060 Ti graphics card page.

🧠 8GB or 16GB: the real RTX 5060 Ti decision

Unlike most GPU tiers, where memory size is fixed by the model, the RTX 5060 Ti genuinely ships in two configurations on the same core, and that is the decision that matters more than the brand badge on the cooler. The 8GB cards are the cheaper entry and handle 1080p and light 1440p gaming without issue today. The 16GB cards cost more upfront but carry noticeably more headroom for texture-heavy AAA titles and for 1440p gaming as games grow more demanding over this card's lifespan. If you plan to keep this GPU for three years or more, or you already game at 1440p, the 16GB Palit Infinity is the more future-proof buy. If you are on a tighter budget and mainly play 1080p esports and mid-weight titles, the 8GB Shadow 2X or Ventus 2X do the job for less.

🖥️ Buying it bundled or as a full gaming PC

Two of the listings above are not just a graphics card. The ASUS TUF bundle pairs a 16GB card with a 750W power supply in one box, which is a genuine convenience if you are building fresh and do not already have a PSU rated for it. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D machine at the top of the list is a complete gaming PC, and it is worth comparing against buying a case, motherboard, RAM and CPU separately, since a matched build avoids bottlenecks that can undercut what the RTX 5060 Ti is capable of.

🔻 If 16GB is out of budget

Should the 16GB models push past what you want to spend, the standard RTX 5060 sits directly below this tier and covers the same 1080p ground for less money, just without the memory headroom or the small core count advantage. It is worth a look if the price gap here feels too wide for your build, and you can compare the RTX 5060 gaming PC range directly against these listings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an RTX 5060 Ti cost in South Africa?

An RTX 5060 Ti starts at R7,999 including VAT at Evetech for the 8GB card, rising to around R11,500 for the 16GB version and higher again for bundles and complete gaming PCs.

Should I buy the 8GB or 16GB RTX 5060 Ti?

Choose 16GB if you game at 1440p or want the card to stay comfortable for several years. The 8GB card is a fair choice if you are on a tighter budget and mainly play at 1080p.

Is the RTX 5060 Ti a big step up from the RTX 5060?

Yes, it has more cores and, in the 16GB configuration, considerably more memory headroom, making it the better pick if your budget allows the extra spend.

Does the RTX 5060 Ti need a bigger power supply than the RTX 5060?

It draws a little more power, so a quality 600W supply is recommended, and the bundled ASUS TUF option already includes a 750W unit if you would rather not buy one separately.

Is buying a complete gaming PC cheaper than building around an RTX 5060 Ti myself?

It depends on what parts you already own. A complete build removes compatibility guesswork and is worth comparing directly against buying the card and remaining parts separately.
