Great GPU deal: RTX 5060 MSI Ventus 2X back at €300

In a market where graphics card prices are on the rise again due to a global memory shortage, good deals are rare. This is precisely what makes this one interesting: with Nvidia's "Summer Deals," the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 2X OC 8 GB is available for €299.99 instead of €344.99, a saving of around €45. Some European retailers are even offering it for around €290, a low rarely seen in recent months.

Why this promotion stands out in July 2026

Context matters. Since late 2025, the cost of GDDR memory has significantly increased, driven by demand from AI data centers. As a result, most GPUs are seeing their prices climb, and a further 10-15% increase is even expected on some competing ranges this month. Finding an RTX 5060 below €300 therefore goes against the trend.

Prices observed at the time of writing: prices are changing rapidly right now, sometimes by several tens of euros in a few days. If you're interested in the card, don't delay too long.

How good is the RTX 5060 in 2026?

The RTX 5060 is the reference card for gaming in 1080p with good settings, and it also performs well in 1440p on well-optimized titles, especially thanks to DLSS 4 and frame generation.

• 8 GB GDDR7: sufficient for 1080p, a little tight for 1440p ultra on the most demanding recent games
• DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation: a real fluidity booster on compatible games
• Low power consumption: a quality 550W power supply is more than enough
• Compact format: the Ventus 2X fits into most ATX and micro-ATX cases

For whom?

If you play on a 1080p 144 Hz or 1440p 60-120 Hz monitor, the RTX 5060 offers a solid performance/price ratio at this price. For more demanding 1440p, the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB remains a step above, but the price gap has widened with the increase in memory prices.

The alternative: a complete pre-built PC

If your current setup is a bit old (4-core CPU, DDR3, tired power supply), only changing the GPU risks creating a bottleneck. In this case, a complete PC may be more relevant than a partial upgrade.

At DSGate, several configurations assembled in France feature the RTX 5060, paired with processors like the Intel Core i5-12400F or the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, with new and guaranteed components. Discover our gaming PCs with RTX 5060 to compare with the cost of an upgrade.

In summary

Verdict: in the current market, an RTX 5060 at €300 is a concrete opportunity to equip yourself without waiting for a hypothetical general price drop, which is not announced for several quarters.
