NVIDIA's RTX 5060 "Blackwell" Laptop GPU Comes with 8 GB of GDDR7 Memory Running at 28 Gbps, 25 W Lower TGP

[R0H1T]

600W TDP

Spoiler

Typical Nvidia

 

[dont whant to set it"']

So , its a 5030LE then? Adjusted product naming of course.

Honestly, 8gb is enough for just 1080p especially for a laptop GPU. If the 5070 has 8gb like the 4070 had then I'd be upset because that is geared for 1440p.

5050 - 6gb
5060- 8gb
5070 - 12gb
5080- 16gb
5080ti/5090 - 20gb

720p = 6-8gb
1080p = 8-12gb
1440p =12=16gb
4k= 16=24gb

No..

The **60 tier is midrange, which obviously can't afford to be equipped with low-end | entry level VRAM amount.
For iGPUs and **50 / lower tiers, 8 GB would be fine, but for the 5060 the amount must be at least 12 GB, but preferably 16 GB.

8 GB? Hard pass nvidia. I have 12GB on my 3060. Not downgrading. Pure greed.

i agree.
but If Nvidia priced it at 250us, i guess i could forgive the so-small amount of RAM.

sorry, did not read that it was a laptop chip... so this will be in console priced Laptops? ROFL. (550 american, will the laptop even be 1100?...)
BTW, Nvidia should enforce the idea that any Laptop that has a blackwell gpu also has a Gsync monitor panel.
(bought a laptop with a 970 (long time ago)… but if that laptop had an adaptive sync panel (gsync) it would be useful today for old games. problem is that games play at 44fps, and stuttering everywhere. had the 1800can laptop had a gsync panel, still be useful now…

hey guy how is it I got 8gb 3070ti, I hope jensen gets diarrhea for a year

Lol, I love your comment, and I totally hope so.

I mean they gave the 4070 laptop 8GB also lol....

The 4070 this generation is not a truly 70 model, the 4070 should have been named a 4060, the 4060 should have been named a 4050ti, 4050 is a 4050. The 4080 should have been named 4070, 4090-4080.

4050-4060, its 15% faster, 4060-4070, another 15% increase, 4070-4080 50% increase. 4080-4090, maybe 10% increase.
4050-4070 where all volt limited to 100w.

No..

The 4000 '60 model is more like a 4050ti, its still low end for this generation.

Will be funny to see running at 28 and having a 128bit or even a 64 bit hehe to starve it to hehell and that 8gb, unbelievable, even for laptops 8gb is bad.

Yes and no.
In my desktop I have 7800xt nitro + 16gb card

And my Clevo PE60 has i9 13900h and 4070 140w 8gb ddr6. Runs pretty much all games at high / ultra in 2k.

And for sure ultra in 1920x1080.

Only wierd part is i get more fps in hybrid mode than on GPU only.

Still dont fully understand why maybe the Cpu helps with it's arc graphics.

It really is all about pricing.

8GB at $250
12GB at $350
16GB above $450

Pricing is much harder to isolate on laptops, but I guess a $1000 gaming laptop will come with an 8GB card and a $2000 laptop should have at least 12GB, if not 16GB.

Only wierd part is i get more fps in hybrid mode than on GPU only.

Hybrid mode doesn't mean it's using the Intel graphics to do any gaming, but it also affects the use of the MUX switch and allows dynamic power allocation between CPU+GPU.

If you fire up GPU-Z's sensors tab and select your integrated graphics, you'll see that they're idle when you're gaming, even in hybrid mode.

This is an article about mobile meaning laptop 5060 not desktop. So far Nvidia has released

1060 Mobile/1060 Max-Q 6 GB
2060 Mobile/2060 Max-Q 6 GB
3060 Mobile only 6 GB
4060 Mobile only 8 GB

It is not surprising that the 5060 Mobile/Laptop comes with 8 GB when they released three generations of the same class mobile GPU with 6 GB (1060 to 3060).

Edit: Here is some more data

660M 2 GB
760M 2 GB
860M 2 GB (some had 4 GB)
960M 2 GB (some had 4 GB)

It takes 3-4 generations before Nvidia increases the VRAM on its mobile products.

Some 760Ms had 4GB too.
