NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Arriving Late-March with 16GB and 8GB Variants
NVIDIA is preparing a late-March 2025 launch of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti following its early-March RTX 5070 launch. The card will reportedly come with 16 GB and 8 GB memory variants, much like its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti, with the 16 GB variant launching late-March, and the 8 GB variant in April. A Wccftech report sheds light on a few interesting specs of the RTX 5060 Ti. Apparently, the card comes with a total graphics power (TGP) of 180 W, which should make it possible for partners to sell cards with single 8-pin PCIe power connectors. NVIDIA is looking to target the $400 to $500 price segment with the RTX 5060 Ti series, but a lot will depend on how AMD addresses this space with its lean new "Navi 48" silicon that could probably be cut down to create SKUs that square off against the RTX 5060 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, much like the RTX 4060 Ti, will come with a 128-bit wide memory bus, however, NVIDIA will give the GPU a massive upgrade in bandwidth with 28 Gbps GDDR7, giving it 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is a 55% increase over the 288 GB/s that the RTX 4060 Ti has. The GB205 (or GB206?) GPU that the RTX 5060 Ti is based on could implement PCI-Express 5.0, which means that should NVIDIA opt for an 8-lane PCIe host interface to save board costs, the GPU could still enjoy bandwidth comparable to PCI-Express 4.0 x16 on systems with Gen 5 PCIe.

This has to be an effort to upsell to the 5070...
That and the possible performance is also very questionable and tbh if it can't even match a 4070 Super then I will opt out of that idea completely and just get something else whenever I can/decide to upgrade. 'I have my budget limitations and whatnot but I'm not going lower than that..'
The card is perfect for my SVGA 1024x768 CRT monitor.
Anyone remember the HeeHaw tv shows hillbilly donkey? That's all I can picture whenever another nvidia press release come out.
And memory bandwidth is completely irrelevant -- they can give it 1TB/s of VRAM bandwidth, it's still never going to be the bottleneck.
This card should be renamed from 5060 TI to 5006 TI: $500 for 6% improvement.
Do not complain. Nvidia first buyers are second buyers and so on. Marketing works.
Ti suggests its something better as it is
Vram or not that card is suitable for basic tasks. When you want a gpu with dedicated graphic memory
The higher the market share of nvidia gpu,- the higher the prices?

These companies are not entitled to our money, they have to earn it by delivering a good product. And if they don't or we don't think they are/will we should call them out on it.
Good luck running ray tracing on 8gb though. Not that most people care about it anyway.
Serves the fanboys right.
