Quick Answer

Whether to wait for an RTX 5060 Super depends on urgency: if you need a GPU now, the current RTX 5060 and RX 9060 XT are strong 1080p-to-1440p value today. If you can wait a few months, a Super refresh may add VRAM or performance at a similar price.

The Case For and Against Waiting

Super refreshes historically add more VRAM, slightly higher clocks, or better value at the same tier, which would help longevity at 1440p. If you can comfortably wait and your current card still runs your games, holding out for more VRAM is reasonable.

The risk is timing and stock: launch availability and local pricing are uncertain, and you lose months of gaming meanwhile. If your current GPU is failing or you are building now, the existing RTX 5060 already delivers excellent 1080p and capable 1440p performance.

What to Buy Now if You Cannot Wait

The RTX 5060 clears 60 to 100+ fps at 1080p in most titles with DLSS, and the RX 9060 XT offers strong raster value with more VRAM. Either pairs with a 550W to 650W supply and a Ryzen 5 or Core i5 for a balanced sub-R20,000 build.

If you buy now and a Super arrives later, you still got months of use from a capable card. Evetech stocks current RTX 5060 and RX 9060 XT models with local warranty, so you can decide based on real stock and pricing rather than rumours.

One last SA-specific point: factor in warranty length, in-country RMA turnaround and realistic stock before you commit, not just the headline price. A part that is a little dearer but backed by quick local support and proven reliability usually costs less over its life than a marginal saving on something harder to service here.
