Isn't directed at you, but to add some actual facts in the discussion, checked the latest 47 games tested in GAMEGPU. I have compiled a TXT list that I can share. Basically I made 4 categories based on the data I gathered - games that the 5060 (and 8gb in general) can play at 1080p or 1440p completely maxed out, games that it will play almost maxed out (turn down the textures a notch might or might not be needed), games that will definitely need to lower the textures and finally, games that look like they might have issues even with 16gb of vram. And the results are as following
A) 29 Games play maxed out, no issues
B) 12 Games might work maxed out, might need to lower the textures a notch
C) 5 Games that definitely need lower textures, might or might not need further tinkering
D) 1 Game that needs absurd amounts of vram, 16gb might or might not be enouch.
Now with that data I can safely conclude that the 5060 is a better 1080p card than the 4090 is a 4k card.
4090 is definitely no longer a 4k card but that has nothing to do with vram that's just the reality of it being over 2 years old will this card still be able to do 1080p in 2 years better than the 4090 does 4k now I doubt it.
I think everyone can agree 8GB is the minimum amount anyone should consider for DGPU all I'm saying is it's been 9 years since we could purchase a dgpu around 200 usd with 8GB, the stagnation sucks and I would pay a 15-20% premium to not have to worry about having to turn down texture settings for the next couple years. AMD is asking a 17% premium to double the vram the reality is that card will end up being much more desirable becuase the only competition is nearly 500 usd currently last I checked so we will be stuck with stagnation in this tier for another 2 years.
