Maxsun GeForce RTX 5060 Series Regulatory Filings Suggest 16GB and 8GB Variants of RTX 5060 Ti

[btarunr]

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.

I think more interesting is that this filing shows both 16GB and 12GB versions of the 5070Ti...

 

[Vya Domus]

Lmao they're doing it again, so we are stuck in a nightmarish time loop.

The 5060ti 8GB is going to be amazing with multi frame generation and neural texture compression, basicly a 4080 for $400. Probably will be my next GPU

 

[Rightness_1]

This just proves how ridiculous it is that the 5080 only has 16GB of VRAM. 16GB is the new minimum standard. The 5080 should always have had 24GB because its performance is also bad and a 384Bit memory bus would have helped.

Too bad it can't play modern games without stuttering...

Neural Texture Compression requires integration into games, so it is not a magic bullet that will make an 8GB 5060Ti somehow relevant...

You're joking right?

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.

Right?! Maybe they'll allow us to put four in quad SLI for a true return to 2010! 2GB per GPU is back bois

I really love how everyone missed your sarcasm

 

[JustBenching]

I'd rather have 12gb than 8 or 16. 8 isn't great for 2025, 16 is too much for that kind of performance.

 

[docnorth]

I'm afraid it will be like 7600 and 7600 xt. Too little and too much...

 

[Capitan Harlock]

Are they doing it on purpose to push again 8GB versions? Come on now the lowest should be 12gb minimum not 8

 

[3DVCash]

You're joking right?

CLEARLY!

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.

 

[N3utro]

Nope, not joking

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.

5070Ti SUPER.

People who bought 8GB 3070 and 4060/4060Ti are already regretting it. But you wanna step on that rake yourself for $400?
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?

Are they doing it on purpose to push again 8GB versions? Come on now the lowest should be 12gb minimum not 8

Don't forget a nice +$100 for the 16GB model compared to the 8GB models. To keep up with traditions...

"Nvidia said"

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.

O-Oh...

Well, I admire your optimism! Really hope Nvidia delivers on that for you.

 

[Hxx]

Excited for the 5060 I just hope that AIB partners keep the cooler size sub 5l sff friendly .

 

[k0vasz]

IF UDNA will be as good as expected, and IF it'll be launched next year, than nvidia will probably launch a Super series with more VRAM, making these cards usable/much more future proof. but it's a lot of IFs, and we still gotta wait another year

 

[dirtyferret]

Jensen Huang responded to all your concerns below
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!

 

[Macro Device]

384Bit memory bus would have helped.

With that few SMs? They should be clocked at 4 GHz for that to be the case. 5080 is perfectly balanced. Just call it a 5070 and price accordingly and it's fine. The ONLY problem is money. 16 GB for $1000? Eh. For $650? Nice.

 

[N3utro]

O-Oh...

People laughed about FG before it was released, now you laugh about neural texture compression, time will tell!

 

[chrcoluk]

I think people still laugh about FG.

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.

 

[3DVCash]

People laughed about FG before it was released, now you laugh about neural texture compression, time will tell!

Oh no, I honestly hope they live up to the hype. Would be a rare, and very welcome, pro-consumer move from Big Green.

 

[tussinman]

I fully expect the 5060ti not to even the beat the 4070 in your system specs list decisively lmao.

Would be nuts if a $500 5060 TI 16GB can't convincingly beat a 2020 era 3080. I guess same thing with the regular 5060 if it ends up being slower than a 3070

 

[Rightness_1]

People laughed about FG before it was released, now you laugh about neural texture compression, time will tell!

You will never see it outside of a demo or synthetic benchmark for at least a year or two. It's not even incorporated into DirectX yet! By the time games come out using Neural Texture Compression, your card will render it at 15FPS at 1080p.

Oh, and FG is still laughed at...

 

[Ruru]

I'd rather have 12gb than 8 or 16. 8 isn't great for 2025, 16 is too much for that kind of performance.

Then you'd end up with a 96-bit memory bus since AFAIK those 3GB chips aren't on the market yet.
