If 8gb is cheaper than 16gb (say 399 vs 489) then absolutely i'd go with the 8gb and just turn down the textures a notch. I don't think a single settings is worth 25% extra money. Dropping textures doesn't mean you get worse textures than before. TLOU @ high textures has amazing looking textures...

That's simply not true. You are taking extreme cases like indiana jones and a couple of other heavy games to claim that the 5060ti can't crank up the settings but the same applies to the RX480, if you take the heaviest of games back then it couldn't crank up settings either. Even my 1080ti...

Did not say it's the last, I said it's below the mid tier. But whatever, can't argue facts so you resort to personal attacks. Typical

Past experience should have made you assume that there will be plenty of cards on a lower tier than the 5080. That is not the case with the 8gb 5060ti. Even after the full 5xxx lineup is launched it will remain bottom of the barrel. Even if Nvidia releases a 5050 and all the super refreshes the...

Uhm, of course nvidia cards ( and to the same extent amd ones but whatever) suck for the asking price. All of them, top to bottom. That's why I didn't buy a 5xxx. But that's not relevant to whether or not an 8gb card at the entry level tier is or isn't good. Dual die GPUs to make a point. Green...

Those Hotspots nvidia removed have nothing to do with these, these are on the back of the pcb and power delivery, you never had exposed sensors on these things.

Billion dollar mainframes do not play games. The 5060ti 8gb is literally the lowest / cheapest current Gen gpu that exists out of the 6 nvidia gpus. Arguing that that is middle range is plainly dishonest. It's like finishing last in race and then arguing that you were middle of the pack. No you...

And we go back to the pricing yet again. When the 1650 was 159 the top end card cost 649. Now the top end costs 2k msrp. This is going around in circles isn't it...

It doesn't even matter what historically it was, that's like surface level criticism. Are we bothered by the name? Currently the 8gb 5060ti is the 2nd lowest (including the yet unreleased 5060) out of the 7 offerings. It's perfectly normal for the 2nd lowest product to play with a mix of ultra...

When the high end is 3k and the midrsnge 800 to 900 yeah, 400 is entry level. When the high end was 800 (1080ti) then entry level was 150 to 200. It's all relative.

So the problem is the name? If it was an x50 it would be fine? Historically not every card could max out every game. Not even high end cards could. If the argument is that every current card should be able to max out games then we have a fundamental disagreement. Again we will go back at the...

Of course you lose out if you have to pay more for something you don't need. It's like me complaining about the 16gb card existing. Like who cares, I'm glad it exists for people like you that need the vram, enjoy it. I'm jot spending 80$ for ultra textures. To each their own. Tlou 1 has the...

Obviously im vram starved if I try to max out Indiana Jones. Every card is starved in something. Either shaders, bandwidth or vram, else we would be getting thousands of fps. But I don't get what the point is, the card exists in a 16gb version, buy that if you feel like you need the vram. Why...

Yes, absolutely, if 60-70$ only gets me a move from high to ultra textures im saving that 60-70$ and laughing all the way to the bank.

People have the weird expectation that there shouldn't be any card on the market that cannot play all games (even the heaviest ones) at maxed out settings. Which is where the whole "8gb not enough" comes from. When my 4090 barely manages to play 4k maxed out (even with DLSS) it stands to reason...
