Maxsun GeForce RTX 5060 Series Regulatory Filings Suggest 16GB and 8GB Variants of RTX 5060 Ti
NVIDIA is expected to release the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and the all-important RTX 5060 in early Q2-2025. The RTX 5060 series releases last as it gives the market time to absorb inventory of the RTX 4060 Ti and the RTX 4060, both of which are very popular in their market segments. Maxsun has filed regulatory paperwork for its custom design RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 graphics cards. The company is planning several custom design graphics card models under its iCraft line of graphics cards for both GPUs. What's interesting, though, is that the RTX 5060 Ti series appears to have two memory based variants just like the RTX 4060 Ti—16 GB and 8 GB.
The filings point to seven RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB custom graphics card SKUs, seven of them for the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB, and eight of them for the RTX 5060 (non-Ti), which comes with a memory size of just 8 GB. Our recent reviews of the Intel Arc B580 "Battlemage" graphics card concluded that 8 GB was holding back performance of the RTX 4060 in games with ray tracing workloads, with the B580 enjoying not just 50% more memory at 12 GB, but also that much more memory bandwidth than the RTX 4060. It looks like NVIDIA will address at least one of the two shortcomings—bandwidth. The company is rumored to give both the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 faster GDDR7 memory.

Given the current gen on gen improvements that have been known/leaked so far (4070->5070, 4080->5080, 4090->5090), I fully expect the 5060ti not to even the beat the 4070 in your system specs list decisively lmao.
Best stick with what you have.
I really love how everyone missed your sarcasm :lovetpu:
8GB should be relegated to entry level now. But then, I guess Nvidia considers 60-class cards the new "entry level."
If this was a ~$200 RTX 5050, I don't think too many would complain.
Nvidia said neural texture compression can reduce texture vram usage by up to 7x, and it doesnt seem too complex to implement according to their dev kit. I'm betting most popular games will soon include this feature, same way a lot of them included DLSS, and 8GB will be more than enough.
TPU's game test revealed that last year the average VRAM usage across all tested games was 7.6GB and this was at 1080p with no RT or FG.
Some of those even ran at the lowest settings. Also you seems to have bought Nvidia marketing without any critical thinking.
Nvidia is not going to give you a $400 4080. Who would buy their overpriced 16GB 5080 in that case?Don't forget a nice +$100 for the 16GB model compared to the 8GB models. To keep up with traditions..."Nvidia said":laugh:
Nvidia "says" a lot of things. There isn't a single current or upcoming game even scheduled to use NTC. Not even their poster boy CP2077.
Also if NTC ever even gains widespread adoption the developers will use it to increase texture quality while keeping the requirements the same or even increasing it. Not giving you a a magical fairy dust 7x reduction.
Also by (and if) the time NTC becomes widespread new series will have launched with 3GB modules providing more capacity.
Rendering the whole thing as a moot point.
Well, I admire your optimism! Really hope Nvidia delivers on that for you. :D
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to the gamer who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very performance that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and purchased another Nvidia card in order to save more!
DLSS/DLAA is the one feature thats starting to see respect now. mainly because it is almost the only way to override TAA with something better, which is how DLSS quality beats native.
Oh, and FG is still laughed at...
