Good GPU deal: the RTX 5060 drops below €310
Great Deal: RTX 5060 drops below €310 in June 2026
Good news for those building or upgrading a 1080p setup: the GeForce RTX 5060 has been spotted below the €310 mark at several French retailers in recent weeks, with custom models listed around €309.90. As a reminder, the card was launched between €379 and €429 depending on the version, so the price drop is real and significant.
Why this price is attractive
The 2026 GPU market remains tight, with prices fluctuating since the beginning of the year. In this context, seeing an RTX 5060 consistently around €310 is quite rare. This is about 20% less than launch prices, and it repositions the card against AMD's competition, as the RX 9060 XT 16GB is still listed around €420 in France.
At this price, the RTX 5060 becomes the most accessible option in the RTX 50 generation for comfortable 1080p gaming, with support for DLSS 4 and multiple image generation, extending the card's lifespan on 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 8GB version: the RTX 5060 comes with 8GB of GDDR7. This is sufficient for 1080p, but if you're aiming for 1440p with high textures, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB remains more relevant.
- Power supply: with a TDP of 145W, a quality 550W power supply is sufficient. No need to change your PSU in most setups.
- The rest of the setup: to avoid bottlenecks, pair it with a processor like a Ryzen 5 5700X, Intel Core i5-12400F, or higher.
Which CPU + RTX 5060 combo to get the most out of it?
| Processor | Platform | Target Use |
|---|---|---|
| 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 help keep the total machine budget in check, which is consistent with a €310 graphics card: there's no need to pay for a high-end DDR5 platform for this GPU level.
Temporary promotion or long-term trend?
Hard to say. Market observers note a calm period for graphics card prices in France after several months of increases. But with Amazon's Prime Day in July and persistent tensions on memory components, there's no guarantee that this price will hold throughout the summer. If your GPU budget is €300-€350, this is a reasonable entry point right now.
The alternative: a complete pre-built PC
If you don't want to build the machine yourself, know that the RTX 5060 is featured in several DSGate configurations, assembled in France and tested before shipping. This avoids hunting for component deals, with an overall controlled price.
