NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB

If Nvidia sees this you are playing with fire.

Well well well, when i wondered how do you benchmark an 8gb card that lowers textures without saying anything, i wasn't wrong.

Monster Hunter Wilds, another game where Nvidia lowers textures.

 

[rrrrex]

No more DLSS tests?

I guess they are an isolated group, these odd people sensitive to low quality textures on 2025 new gpu, instead on focusing on multiframe generation and path tracing, they ruin everything by showing the GPU doesn't actually render textures at intended resolution.
So how do you actually interpret benchmark numbers on an Nvidia GPU with 8gb if the textures are lowered no matter the game preset ? can they be compared with a gpu that has 10gb or 12gb ? do you cherry pick games that don't go over 8gb ? who knows, some might just not say anything and move on.

Textures get lower quality (in some games) if you push it too high (uhm, 4k + ultra preset on a 5060 hub style). That's easily fixable by...well, well not putting everything on ultra on the cheapest card on the market. If the argument being made is that every card - no matter how cheap - should be able to max out textures on every single game then we are in fundamental disagreement. Cause the same applies to the 4060, people were complaining about the vram back then as well. So basically you - hub - and the rest of the band are claiming that the cheapest 2 year old card should be maxing out textures in every single game two years later. So I guess let's remove graphics settings completely - we don't need them anyways - everything should be running MAX.

That's not the point. The point is showing 8 GB card results with these settings compared to cards with more memory, but failing to disclose lower memory cards actually don't use comparable assets - and therefore concluding there is no point in more memory.

Yeah but Nvidia says "Your Favorite Games, Maxed Out, 100+ FPS"
Are they lying or they are talking just about those 6 games in the picture ? and what i posted before is Monster Hunter wilds at 1080p, not 4k.

I think it's well known in general that for some games 8gb of vram isn't enough to max them out - at least in terms of textures.

That's the basis of your complaint? Nvidias marketing slide? If they remove that, you'd have no complaints, right?

Did you read the lines below? It describes the settings btw. Do any of these game have issues with the settings described? So what is your issue here?

That's a straw man argument. Nobody expects a 5060 to be good at 4k ultra. But guess what? 8GB cards have problems with textures in some games.

Criminal. Barely better than 3060Ti.

News are just in. Blackwell sells really well. Straight from Nvidia's earning reports.

• First-quarter Gaming revenue was a record $3.8 billion, up 48% from the previous quarter and up 42% from a year ago.

Though, a little bit of topic, but talking how Nvidia should give us more is also off topic. The truth of the matter is. They are sellers. We are buyers. If product is good enough, we buy it. If not, then we do not. Market had clearly spoken that even Nvidia's third best, lackluster effort is still hands down the best thing on the market. Maybe AMD will see similar GPU sales growth in the future, but considering the hole they are currently in, they need a lot more than mere 50 percent growth.

Ho, Ho, Ho. I think they have frame generation on. FAKE FRAMES.

They are advertising using MFG which itself uses more VRAM so they also need to use DLSS. This is "5070 is a 4090" level stuff. Pure marketing. If a 5060 is all you need for 100+ FPS why bother with higher end cards?

I'm just an observer pointing out ATTEMPTS OF DECEIVING.
Let's say someone tries to scam you, you catch him and say " you are a thief! i see what you are trying to do!" can you trust them after ? if someone knowingly tries to scam you, can you still respect them and do business ?
Are you working for Nvidia ? come on, tell us, i promise i won't hold it against you.

If the guy that is trying to "scam me" also sells the most valuable products on the market, then sure - ill buy from them, since everyone else that supposedly isn't trying to scam has worse products.

But with that said I don't see how they are trying to scam you. They give you the settings right there on the poster.

You know who I think is trying to scam me? The company that deletes their marketing material about 4gb not being enough because they wanted to release a 4gb card

Are you working for Nvidia ? come on, tell us, i promise i won't hold it against you.

Oh I wish.

If a 5060 is all you need for 100+ FPS why bother with higher end cards?

Because not everyone uses a 1080p monitor . If I was at 1080p then yeah, I wouldn't have anything higher than a 5060 - 5060ti.

Yes, 8gb cards have problem at ultra settings in some games. 16gb cards also have problems in some games at ultra settings. 32gb cards (5090) also have problem in some games with ultra settings. That's why you have graphics options, so you can solve those problems.

 

[Luminescent]

Oh I wish.

You should show them the good work you are doing here.

What a reminder, that one was a doozey. And not just any 4gb card too, perhaps the most insulting, slimy and downright maligned card in the last decade.

I have RX 6500 XT and it is hot garbage. It just reinforced my view that I should avoid AMD products as a plague. It made me to understand just how amazing RTX 3050 6/8 GB cards actually were. But of course, people will blame the consumer for buying when it comes to AMD, but they will blame Nvidia for releasing bad products. There is a deep hypocrisy here.

It is like people...don't want or expect AMD to be good. They just want to make AMD just competitive enough that they could lower price of Nvidia cards and then they could buy cheaper Nvidia. All this complaining comes down to: "We want to buy cheaper Nvidia cards or make them to give us more for the same money".

In 2050, NV releases cards that you still cannot use RT on, for a market where it would really change the game if it did work and look good... a full 7 years after the launch of RT, which was going to transform gaming... Says it all really.

I really like Daniel's charts at the end. I like the reviews here too but for VRAM-specific testing it's better to look at a channel like Daniel's.

But one thing that's still missing is testing extended playtime. Someone in this thread pointed out performance degradation overtime following DF's recommended Cyberpunk settings.

I played on a 3070 with Digital Foundry recommended RT Ultra settings, at 1440p ultrawide with DLSS either Balanced or Performance. My 3070 performed acceptably for most of the game, but eventually the slowdowns got more severe, and by late game I would drop from 50 FPS to <20 FPS after exiting menus. The solution apparently is to drop textures to medium but I haven't tried this yet. (I gave up playing due to the slowdowns).

This video shows the 5060 experiencing this at 1080p, RT enabled, DLSS quality:

Naturally, all these issues will hurt the 9060 XT as well, so we'll just get a repeat of all the same testing and results for AMD.

We hope you are not a clone account of some Nvidia fanboy that makes several accounts to bash AMD.
We can agree both corporations are sleazy, greedy and nobody should have any respect or admiration for them, be smart with your money and choices.

fair enough, but people that buy the cheapest new gpu available aren't probably making a decision like "this is enough", they are spending what they can. They are used to lowering settings to barely potato level, i've been there.

Wow, what a warm welcome... This forum has really gone downhill over the last couple of years.

 

[Calicifer]

Thank you, Luminescent.

Well, people parrot what media is saying and they think that they think for themselves or are an enlightened minority, speaking the truth to the man. The irony in this is palpable. They put authority over reason and they happily believe what they were told to believe. Nvidia in my eyes get a pass, because they are simply the best. Once AMD releases competition, then we could talk how bad RTX 5060 is. Now it just comes just as typical attempt to fleece Nvidia into giving more to them.

Oh, I also view AMD BS a lot more harshly than that of Nvidia BS. They don't release fake benchmarks and actively lie to their customers. They don't actively lie to tech youtubers and their customers with fake MSRPs. They don't take cheap shots at their competition and then does exactly the same stuff, but worse.

Once again, yes it sucks. Yes, it could be better. However, Nvidia is a corporation. It is not our friend. Our relationship is that of buyer and seller. If we don't like a product, we don't buy it. Simple as that. I didn't liked Lovelace launch and so I just bought myself an Arc A770 Limited Edition instead. I didn't liked how Blackwell removed Physx 32 bit support, so I just bought used RTX 3080. This is how people should treat those corporations. Instead, people just expect from market leader to give them freebies just because they are friends or something.

So here is a brief history.

Really with that? Keep that nonsense to yourself.

Another one reacting with ego instead of relevant contextual info.

There are those of us are VERY tired of the riff-raff making accounts to deliberately shitpost to serve a nit-wit agenda. What are we suppose to do, throw a parade for them? Eff that. If these fools want to come into TPU's forum and cause trouble, they can be given all the "warm" welcome(read napalm in the backside) they deserve.

fair enough, but people that buy the cheapest new gpu available aren't probably making a decision like "this is enough", they are spending what they can. They are used to lowering settings to barely potato level, i've been there.

With all the people crying about 8GB, you'd think they'd be more annoying about the 4GB and 6GB cards on and coming to the market.. Kinda proves how narrow thinking they really are.

This is complete asinine drivel. If an RTX2070 can run CyberPunk2077 very well(which is does), a 5060 will have NO PROBLEMS what-so-ever.

The appeal of the drama on the internet is inescapable, add to that the milking of the drama for views on the part of the ambulance chaser influencers. They feed of each other.

The thing for me is that 3070 is still faster.
I saw this card being sold 150-200 on second hand market.

Two generations later an x60 card should be faster than old x70 card.

While I understand and agree with your point, I think it's pathetic. It's far more interesting & exciting to promote positive aspects of what each tier of products can do for a prospective buyer.

The thing for me is that 3070 is still faster.

Right? That is one of the reasons I'm in no hurry to upgrade from my 3080. Though to be fair, the performance of the 5080 is compelling.
