NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB

[Rover4444]

The 6060 would need the combined gains of the last 2 60 series generations to do that if we are lucky it'll match the 5070 and have more than 8GB of vram.... If it does have 8GB and Nvidia fanboys are still defending there is no hope for humanity lmao.

Don'cha know? 8GB is fine for 1080p low gaming!

Even though I don't like it i can at least say there are some use cases for a the 5060 assuming the 9060XT 8 GB isn't significantly better which I doubt it will be and the 16GB variant will be scalped by retailers so it's msrp is meaningless.

That being said if in 2027/28 the 6060 has 8GB and is 20% better wtf...

I'm almost curious how many generations Nvidia can do this at this point....

3GB GDDR7 will come out, so minimum VRAM will be 12GB in 2026...

You're right, so they don't have to do anything to give it more memory...

Balls in Nvidia court I still wouldn't put it passed them lol having a 299 8GB version and a 349 12GB one lmao.

No, journalists report on them being bad companies. They don't complain they didn't gave them free shit.

Journalists can report on more than one thing. Their entire job is "reporting".

Don't jinx it man, I wouldn't be surprised if they just made a 9GB card 6040 and passed it off as a 6060.

 

[W1zzard]

Both Radeon Software and GPU-Z report 3W "idle" power consumption on the Radeon RX 9070.

The driver provides a power measurement, which is used by GPU-Z and Radeon Software.

The problem is that their mechanism is designed to be affordable and roughly accurate at full load of the card, to control the power limit. It's not designed to be a highly accurate calibrated mechanism, because that would add hundreds of dollars to the card.

start at around 5 minutes

Shit, don't give them any ideas man

That'd be insane, the 5060 Ti already gets a $50 upcharge for 8GB more. We'll probably see a $30 increase bringing the price to $330, the same as the 3060.

That's what I'm saying

So does the 9060xt?

But think about it logically. People (I don't know if you are one of them) have suggested that 8gb cards should cost 200$ max. So I'm asking, if the 8gb 5060ti was 200$ does it then translate to you getting a 150$ upcharge for 8gb more? I mean come on, that's not how it works. You are saving 50$ on vram that costs 20.

I don't even think I'd like this card if it was the 5060 at 300/350 but I'd like it a lot better...


That being said I much prefer Nvidia giving consumers the option at a 50 markup over here's 8GB deal with it.

No, the 9060XT and 5060 Ti do clamshell and doubles the memory from 8GB to 16GB. The 5060 would go from 8GB to 12GB using higher capacity modules and wouldn't be clamshelled. So 4GB more versus 8GB more for the same price doesn't make sense especially for an easier manufacturing process. Did you skip math class before asking this question?

I'm one of those people by the way.

You said you are being upcharged 50$ for 8gb of vram. Im pointing out that this is not really the honest way to look at it. Cause since you also think that 8gb cards should be at 200$ you are basically asking to be upcharged 150$ for an extra 8gb of vram. What am i not understanding?

 

[Prima.Vera]

I don't know man. Hopefully this will be the latest generation to use only 8GB of VRAM.
My RTX 5080 with 16GB of VRAM also crashes quite often in Indiana Jones due to lack of VRAM, when path tracing and ultra textures are enabled. And yes, even if you use 2x frame Gen, the game would crush after 5 mins.
So I think 16GB of VRAM should be the minimum de facto, even for middle tier cards.

Lol, really now? So you think even the cheapest of cards should be able to play indiana jones maxed out with PT?

Ok let me give it a spin. Even my 4090 struggles to play oblivion maxed out. I think 4090 performance should be the defacto minimum even for 299$ cards.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

We can all sit here and debate what an 8GB gpu should cost Both AMD and Nvidia thinks it's $299 so it's pretty irrelevant what we think not that either of these companies actually ever cared what consumers think anyways.

Other than if we get refreshes everything has pretty much been set this generation now we wait 2 ish years and hope for somthing better.

Guessing the 9060xt series will be meh with the 16GB version being ok enough to be scalped at retail.

We might get an overpriced 18GB 5070 and a 24GB 5080 supers from the sound of it joy.

You mean cope? I have no hope for something better in the low and midrange segment.

Well maybe intel, but oh boy do they have a lot of things to fix.

 

[Legacy-ZA]

Irony.

Why is this review so much more positive than the ones on youtube? Honest question....I haven't had the hour necessary to compare numbers, but if somebody has and would like to provide their take on it.....

The ones on youtube go after the clicks, this is a professional review.

 

[lexluthermiester]

You know, there's some truth to that. Not sure if that is incredibly funny or tragically sad... Perhaps both.

 

[Bomby569]

That is kind of a baseless statement. If companies didn't give out product then their would be no incentives for anyone to review them. No reviews or word of mouth no sales. It is a circle.

If it didn't work that way then Nvidia would for instance just give early purchase access to reviewers to purchase them. That isn't how it works though.

if you just review stuff if it's an offer, your just an influencer not a journalist, you're hand is always out, you can't be trusted

I'd never thought about it that way. Very good point!

Except YouTube Channels with millions of subs have way more money to throw at test equipment and labs for testing. Some of these channels even work together to help each other get better testing methods. I know GN has helped Level1Techs who primarily focus on Servers and business class staff, and GN has also helped people like JayzTwoCents who is up to like 4.2 million subs. These guys I would imagine are bringing in way more money and have way more resources then anyone that just runs a website.

Linus from LTT has thrown tons of money at labs and different things for dedicated testing for temps, air pressure I think, and even PSU testing which we haven't seen that much of since jonnyguru's site went down when he got hired to work on PSU's for Corsair. LTT now has a complex of multiple buildings in the Vancouver BC area now.

I don't know of many sites that do nothing but reviews. I mean GN spent tens of thousands of dollars of their own money to fly out to Nvidia even and cover things with multiple engineers. One of them was just on heatpipes I believe.

Most YouTube Channels if they want to maintain a steady content stream have to diversify their content. They can't just make videos when someone offers them a product to review. Many of these channels pay out of pocket or find sponsors to cover tech events like Computex that they travel out of their own country to attend.

Just like anyone else a YouTube Channel is going to cover the things they enjoy. You can't make content unless you are enjoying it. If you do you just burn out. You keep it fresh and diversified from News, podcasts, covering trade shows, testing new products against 5 or 6 year old products etc etc etc.

This isn't the card for you if you play at 4K. You are going to absolutely want something with more VRAM. The 9060 XT is going to get you double the VRAM for only $50 more plus it has more raw horsepower to boot.

Read the post, he doesn't play anything from 2020 onwards.

 

[ZeroFM]

Can I ask WHY do we expect a 5060 to play cyberpunk maxed out with RT? I mean you do of course realize that there are cards that cost 3x and 4x as much and can't do that properly, right? We had 6800xt, 6900xt, 6950xt, 7800xt, 7900xt, 7900xtx - they all crap the bed on cyberpunk with RT. Yet here we are complaining that a 300$ card can't do it either while ignoring the 1k+ cards.

*1080p is lowest of the lowest rez, *cb2077 is 5year old with 10year old engine and graphic, *ngreedy marketing rt like holy grail but can't run lowest resolution with key selling feature ... what a point having specific hardware for RT but raw power just f@ not enought to run good frames ...

 

[lexluthermiester]

*cb2077 is 5year old

True, unless you count updates.

with 10year old engine and graphic

Moose Muffins.

*ngreedy marketing rt like holy grail

Oh, more nonsense..
