GIGABYTE's newest anime-themed graphics card, the AORUS GeForce RTX 5060 ARI 8G, arrives in the Philippines this October for an estimated PHP 34,940. The RTX 5060 hardware underneath is unchanged, but every box ships with a randomized ARI figure, turning the unboxing into a small gamble for the brand's anime-leaning fans.

GIGABYTE's Radeon RX 9050 GAMING OC 8G has landed in the Philippines at PHP 20,700, a price that works out to roughly double what AMD set as the RX 9050's US launch MSRP. The card pairs an entry-level RDNA chip with GIGABYTE's WINDFORCE cooling and a mech-warrior design built for quiet 1080p and 1440p gaming.

ASUS's ProArt Creator Connect event revealed Philippine pricing for its ProArt RTX 50-series GPUs, an 8K HDR monitor at ₱550,000, and new Z890/X870E creator motherboards, all tucked inside a photography and filmmaking masterclass.

Palit's new RTX 5060 Ti 8GB RiTONA OC is the same Blackwell silicon as every other 5060 Ti, dressed up with an anime mascot. It's the second AIB this year to sell a midrange card this way.

AMD's new Adrenalin 26.8.1 driver adds day-one FSR 4 support for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, claiming up to 3x FPS gains on RX 9000 cards, plus support for STAR WARS Zero Company, the Modern Warfare 4 Open Beta, and the Radeon RX 9050.

NVIDIA's Gamescom 2026 announcements ranged from DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction reaching general availability to RTX Spark picking up EA, Embark and Ubisoft as partners. The standout is RTX Mega Geometry, six years in development, which finally lets Unreal Engine 5's Nanite detail show up correctly in ray tracing, debuting in Gears of War: E-Day.

ASUS Philippines launched the TUF Gaming T700 and T700 Mini desktops, but despite the shared name they run completely different hardware tiers. The advertised "starting" price of 139,995 also belongs to a different SKU than the RTX 5060 Ti configuration featured in the announcement.

GIGABYTE has confirmed Philippine pricing across its full AORUS RTX 50 INFINITY lineup, from PHP 68,510 for the RTX 5070 INFINITY up to PHP 134,260 for the RTX 5080 INFINITY WOOD, turning July's flagship launch into a full four-card tier.

Palit's RTX 5060 Ti lineup spreads across three variants, Dual, White and Infinity 3, but they all share the same NVIDIA Blackwell silicon, DLSS 4.5 and Reflex 2 features. The real differences come down to cooling, styling and VRAM configuration rather than raw capability, with no pricing yet confirmed for the Philippine market.

AMD's new $279 Radeon RX 9050 brings RDNA 4 ray tracing, FSR upscaling and AV1 encoding to the budget GPU tier, a segment usually stuck with older silicon. The 92W card ships alongside a new Adrenalin driver with early access to Gears of War: E-Day's multiplayer beta.

GIGABYTE's AORUS MASTER 16 GEN 2 launches in the Philippines July 30, led by an RTX 5090 configuration priced at PHP 299,995. The marketing centers less on gaming specs and more on GiMATE, an onboard AI agent that codes and generates images.

Gainward has launched the GeForce RTX 3060 Python II OC, a factory-overclocked 12GB GDDR6 card with dual-fan Zero-RPM cooling, one day after sibling brand Palit released its own RTX 3060 relaunch under the same parent company.
