ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 Ti TUF OC 16 GB

What I don't understand is why the 5060ti are all under clocked by at least 10% from the factory, basically everything 5080 and lower is. Cool for those of us willing to tweak, but it makes for underwhelming stock products.

W1zzard tested on pcie 4.0 and it hardly made any difference. Not even going to 3.0 made much difference either. (I would still get a 5070 over one of these premium priced 5060 Tis though.)

Yes, the the 8x PCI-E 4.0/5.0 should still be more than enough. As for the VRAM, until you get a game that uses more than 12GB, your performance will tank so bad, you might still be using a 1060 lol (former 8GB VRAM user that exceeded it often) and nGreedia probably want people to use G-Assist (12GB VRAM minimum) but you can't use it well on 12GB cards.

Anyways, way overpriced for what you get, but that is with all RTX5000 series GPUs. :(

I was talking about some AI training scenarios with too many training data to fit in card's memory. (GANs, RL, token-by-token inference). So in this, a cheaper 5070 can stream training data 2x-4x faster than this card depending on motherboard. But if neural network + training data can fit in 16GB, then this card is better. Or not better, if you can stream data of next computation at the same time computing current one.

5000 series Nvidia cards have much higher compute performance than 9000 series AMD. So other than gaming, its ok.

For those games you could just turn settings down presumably. I think the price of these 5060 Ti cards is not bad. I see in the UK the standard cards are going for £399.95 which is cheaper than the 16GB 4060 Ti ever sold for, even in sales. So with two years' worth of inflation it's still cheaper, and it's faster than the old card, and more efficient. It's not bad.
 
The 8GB version is going to be the pleague of system integrators they are going to use the "Ti" as a selling point only to dissapoint with the 8GB variant

Well yes, if you can get them at MSRP, not bad, but I mean, now. :)
 
Really embarrassing, $600 and in 4k it's below my 6800XT 4 years later.
Nvidia you're embarrassing

Ah, what a joke again. 3060 Ti was a good card, why it's so hard now to make a good xx60 Ti?
Click to expand...

Easy. Because money. Right now there's very little incentive to be competitive. People will either buy out the stock, or they'll get a console.

What's really hard is to make a good price, not to make a good card. But because nobody has to at this point...

And unfortunately import-export taxes are likely to make this worse (in the US, at least). I can already say the upper-end case fans I bought this past week have gone up $8-10 per fan since then (I was going to buy some spares, but nope). I recommend to anyone that they buy a used Ada card (4070 Ti, 4070 Ti Super) or an Ampere (3080, 3080Ti) rather than purchase new at this point.

They are deliberately confusing the market, it's borderline fraudulent.

$600 for a mainstream card?

What are asus smoking?

Perhaps $ is being devalued. So it could become equivalent to half the amount this year?

But then Zotac is bankrupting? No?
 
So, this is the 5060Ti. NVIDIA pushes up the 16GB model for some reason before the 8GB ones and then the 16GB model is just... eh????

I mean its about where I expected it to be. Probably the 2nd best non xx90 card of this generation (5070Ti is first imo, but again, its a really low bar, and only really cause of its MSRP price, if you can get it at MSRP) I dunno, still undecided on it. Will wait for the 5060 to really give an opinion though on the entire 50 series.

Consumes more wattage than a 4060Ti, is clocked slightly higher (besides memory clock). This might as well be a 4060Ti Super at stock. Seems you need to tweak it before you can actually get something compelling. It OC's well, but still, ehh..

So it follows the same vein of the 5080 I guess in that sense, I dunno. Seems NVIDIA's attempt at outshining the 8GB ver by having a 16GB ver be the one that gets reviewed first didn't do much for them in the end. I guess we'll see.. though I'm predicting that when more people get their hands on the 5060Ti that this card will get ripped to shreds regardless of which version it is lol.

Uh.. not looking good for Nvidia. Equal to a 7700XT and only mildly faster in ray tracing. It's gonna be bad once the 9060XT gets released.

RX 7700XT is suddenly looking compelling when everyone didn't really like it at launch besides independent system builders LOL. :rolleyes: (which to be fair it consumes a lot more wattage, so thats still a knock against the 7700XT if you wanna compare them seriously.)
 
It would make 1000 times more sense to put 12gb like in 4070 instead of 16gb and lower the price. This cards feel so stupid, like a carefully crafted repellant that push you into higher tiered products.

trash card wondering why you could not review the 8gb model LUL
Click to expand...
NVIDIA has been stingy about the 8GB model, they didn't want reviewers to review the 8GB models and its pretty obvious that they were worried about how the card would be received, so they wanted what the considered the best version of the 5060Ti I guess. The whole situation reeks of them trying to present the 5060Ti in the best light so they can upsell people on it before reviewers rip it to shreds. (which honestly, it didn't seem to have worked out for them lol.) It's a bad day for reviewers, that's for sure. Especially since apparently the reviewers weren't allowed to be sent the 8GB cards (whereas other partners have claimed they simply 'cant', while others said NVIDIA would not let them. Just what I've heard though from some of the reviewers I've been following, would love to have a good source but its a lot of confusion between partners, NVIDIA spokespeople, and reviewers it seems. :confused:)

NVIDIA is so big that AMD could be competitive and I don't think it'd mean much tbh. Just means AMD has to push the knife deeper into NVIDIA's side till they finally kneel. So far, AMD has done much better but they're still far from being competitive (not necessarily because they're not trying though, 9060/XT is still on the way)

It's complicated really, NVIDIA gets so much money from other sources (AMD does too, just not to the same extent) that NVIDIA could do terrible in gaming and they really would have no reason to try any better even if AMD or Intel offers objectively better products, for example.

Right now for sure. Still though, even before we were worried about tariffs some of these cards were already overpriced. Tariffs will probably cripple the overall amount of cash us cheeseburger people got to throw around, so the cards being already overpriced (since their MSRP basically didn't exist as is) is really not helping.

Frankly, speaking from my own experience right now, you would unironically be better off dealhunting for a used card while the market is still saturated enough till it dries up.

RDNA2, RDNA3, Ada & Ampere are the sweet spots. Pick based on your needs.

If you can, definitely save up for the RTX 5070. While it has "only" 12 GB, its overall performance is so much better than the RTX 5060 Ti at not that much of a price increase.

I would rather stick to my backup RTX 2060 (12GB version) than buy this overpriced mess. I’m not into this whole ray tracing thingy so this card is utterly pointless for someone like me.
 
I remember when going forward 2 gens you could get performance of a high end card two gens ago in a mid ranged card. Such as 980Ti to a RTX 2060. Two gens and the 2060 was giving you 980Ti performance.

My 3080Ti stiil holds roughly 25% performance over the 5060Ti. Two gens later and the jump in gains just isn't there if you're not dropping thousands on the top 4090 or 5090 cards.

I'll just contently keep playing on my 3080Ti and enjoy the fact I don't need to upgraded anytime soon.
 
This card is 300$ more than it should have been. Ridiculous times indeed.

Why would anyone buy this when 9070 is the same price and miles faster ? Make it make sense...

It says "Nvidia" on the box.
 
Just jump on 4070 when there are still stock.
