NVIDIA Allegedly Reducing Supply of RTX 5060 / 5060 Ti 8 GB Cards to Partners
According to the report coming from Board Channels, NVIDIA is reducing the supply of GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti with 8 GB of memory to its board partners, most likely to maintain the price and prevent the oversupply. The report says that NVIDIA board partners have plenty of these GPUs in inventory, so the supply will be cut by 15 percent for the RTX 5060 Ti and 30 percent for the RTX 5060.
Both these graphics cards are based on a variant of the GB206 GPU, and such a move does not come as a big surprise considering that NVIDIA did not focus on 8 GB versions during launch. The report also does not specify if these cuts only apply to desktop models, as it is possible that laptop versions could be affected too.

WHAAAA?
People who actually purchas gpu's in this price range. "Na dawg"
even worse : their high end cards should be modded to 8GB VRAM cap so they can tell us if "it's fine"kudos to whoever managed to make Intel Arc as good as it is, looking forward to this tri-party market evolving into better competition, not expecting a whole lot of advancement (as in market progression) for Xe3 but they might very well surprise us...
The low end market just kind of sucks has for the last half decade. Maybe the RX580/1060 were the last half decent cards in that bracket. 9060XT is ok but not super exciting and only looks ok due to how dismal the sub 400 usd Nvidia cards are.
Of those top 40, 27 are 8 GB VRAM or less, counting the four iGPUs.
The 8 GB 5060 is the 27th most popular card, the 5060 Ti is 38th. Cards that launched four to five months ago.
The only AMD dGPU on this top 40 list is the RX 6600, a card that has been on the market for four years, and is less popular than the RTX 4090.
Top gains for August 25 Steam HW Survey:
It is NOT a 4K card though, not even close. If Intel want to cover the basic 4K preset, they need at least 40% more horsepower than the B580. They need to match RX6800XT bare minimum.
Wait, people want optional high end features for their high end cards?
The duality of man.
Obviously a 5060/Ti Super would be nice, but they aren't confirmed.
If it's a SI like Dell or whatever, they still count as board partners, and will still get reduced supply.
It launched during the ETH mining rush when MSRPs were stupid and street prices were even more stupid, but once all of that blew over, it settled at a reasonable $200 for an 8GB card that wasn't far off the performance of a 3060 that was selling for ~$300 or more. Haters would say that its RT performance was much worse than the 3060's but IMO that was irrelevant because the RT performance of the 3060 was so bad you couldn't really use it anyway.
