NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Arriving Late-March with 16GB and 8GB Variants

[Nostras]

I really hope AMD doesn't follow suit and make their low SKU 12GB VRAM minimum. Because 8GB is just not cutting it anymore.

Naw 8GB is acceptable if the card is priced right. If the card is 200$ or less 8GB is fine.

Yeah, 8GBs should be limited to a 5050 card at 200 bucks, with 3060 original performance.

Sad watching people complain when previous gen was released at 8gb that it wasn't enough but they get 16gb THEN STILL complain. Can't make some people happy no matter what you do even when you listen to what they want they find something new to yell about. How about you just not post if you are never gonna be happy or offer anything constructive to the matter.

I don't think people were upset that there was a 16GB model with the 4060Ti. I think what upset people the most was the fact that the 16GB was $100 more over the 8GB model and they had the same performance.

Then when you compared the 3060Ti to them, the 3060Ti was only about 5-10% behind them in performance and you could buy a 3060Ti cheaper than either of the 4060Ti models. Face it, the 4060Ti models were a flop in comparison to the previous gen....they couldn't even give the same performance a 3070 had.

Based on the current record of the 5xxx models I wouldn't expect to see much improvement from the 4060Ti to the 5060Ti, expect maybe higher pricing.

$400 would be decent for the 16GB version, but I'm guessing $400 is going to be the unobtainable 8GB MSRP cards. 16GB MSRP will be $500, but with fancy OEM versions the AIBs want to sell it'll just cost what a 5070 is supposed to.

Rejoice apple fans, nvidia is once again overcharging for memory.

Good luck running ray tracing on 8gb though. Not that most people care about it anyway.

Serves the fanboys right.

While I also wouldn't get a 8GB card in 2025 for such prices but its also not exactly unusable.
I did finish Cyberpunk on Ultra+Ultra RT+DLSS Quality on my 3060 Ti and it was perfectly playable/enjoyable for me on my 2560x1080 res 21:9 monitor. 'I'm not sensitive to DLSS at all so I use it in every game possible'
Currently I'm also using RT in Wuthering Waves which is a fast paced/reaction combat + story driven single player gacha game and its not giving me any issues with DLSS on the max quality setting in the game. 'looks better than the crappy TAA anyway..'

Stalker 2 is also fine on High settings+DLSS Quality after its most recent update, not that I'm a fan of the game itself but the performance is enough at this resolution that I could finish the entire game on this setting if I wanted to and it wouldn't bother me at all.

Were you living under a rock these past 2 years? We already had a 16GB 4060 TI -- and when it came out, the problem with the card wasn't the extra VRAM, but that it performed like a sub-$300 6700XT at $500+. In fact, here in the UK and Europe, it was still priced above most 7800 XTs after AMD's launch, which were easily 50% faster across the board. And this isn't even including the scalper's tax that AIBs will charge on these (with MSRP at $500, most will be priced at least 10% above that if current pricing of RTX 5000 series is anything to go by).

NVIDIA is looking to target the $400 to $500 price segment with the RTX 5060 Ti series

Hopefully closer to $400 than to $500. 5070 is supposed to be sold at $550, $500 for 5060Ti makes little sense.

Exaggerations.
The card is perfect for my SVGA 1024x768 CRT monitor.

The got the fancy 1440x900 21inch CRT. I'm waiting for the 2gb version.

The $100 price difference would be acceptable if the performance/$ of either variant were considered good.

And yet they both went up in price since last summer, despite good availability.

That's opulence. I rather afford a dual RTX 5090 setup...
