Good GPU deal: the RTX 5060 drops below €310
Good news for those building or upgrading a 1080p setup: the GeForce RTX 5060 has been spotted under the €310 mark at several French retailers over the last few weeks, with custom models listed around €309.90. As a reminder, the card launched between €379 and €429 depending on the version: the price drop is therefore real and significant.
Why this price is interesting
The 2026 GPU market remains tight, with prices yo-yoing since the beginning of the year. In this context, seeing an RTX 5060 settle sustainably around €310 is quite rare. This is about 20% less than launch prices, and it repositions the card against the AMD competition, with the RX 9060 XT 16 GB still listed around €420 in France.
At this price point, the RTX 5060 becomes the most accessible option of the RTX 50 generation for comfortable 1080p gaming, with support for DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation that extends the card's lifespan for recent titles.
What to check before buying
- The exact model: compact dual-fan versions are generally the cheapest; triple-fan models remain above €330.
- The 8 GB version: the RTX 5060 features 8 GB of GDDR7. This is sufficient for 1080p, but if you are targeting 1440p with high textures, the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB remains more relevant.
- The power supply: with a 145 W TDP, a quality 550 W power supply is enough. No need to change your unit in most builds.
- The rest of the setup: to avoid bottlenecks, pair it with a processor like a Ryzen 5 5700X, Intel Core i5-12400F, or better.
Which CPU + RTX 5060 pairing to enjoy it?
| Processor | Platform | Target usage |
|---|---|---|
| Intel Core i5-12400F | LGA1700 + DDR4 | 1080p, e-sports and AAA |
| AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | AM4 + DDR4 | Versatile 1080p, light streaming |
| Intel Core i5-14400F | LGA1700 + DDR4 | 1080p/1440p with headroom |
These DDR4 platforms allow you to keep the total cost of the machine down, which is consistent with a €310 graphics card: there is no need to pay for a high-end DDR5 platform for this level of GPU.
One-off promo or underlying trend?
Hard to say. Market observers are noting a lull in graphics card prices in France after several months of increases. But with Amazon Prime Day in July and persistent tensions over memory components, there is no guarantee that this price will hold all summer. If your GPU budget is €300-350, it is a reasonable entry point right now.
The alternative: a complete, pre-assembled PC
If you don't want to build the machine yourself, be aware that the RTX 5060 powers several DSGate configurations, assembled in France and tested before shipment. This avoids the hassle of hunting for component-by-component deals, with a controlled overall price.
