Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB Review: Instantly Obsolete

[Ashford]

The GPU market is a sick joke.

A sick joke would be if they release an NVIDIA Crossfire equivalent capability next month.

I think the biggest shame of these tests is it's mostly old games (Counterstrike 2 ...Cyberpunk) or games I don't play (everything else).

Long story short, buy the most expensive GPU you can afford.

In retrospect, the $1999 I dropped for my 5090 FE doesn't seem so bad.

8GB wasn't enough 3 years ago. The few extra dollars for a 16GB is worth every penny on ANY card.

The problem with this logic is that you would never increase VRAM because most people have 8GB so all we should target 8GB which means that in the future most people will have 8GB so all we should target 8GB...

No ultra settings is where you push, but mainstream or medium settings should be fine on 8gb but what we are seeing is hands struggling on low with 8gb that's lazy devs

I mean if you want to pay $400 for a GPU that has to run worse settings than a console because it has less VRAM while complaining about lazy devs, go for it. It's a relatively free country. At that point I'd just buy the console myself.

I will complain about Lazy devs, its why I don't buy new games, until game devs become as talented as older ones they won't get my money, they are lazy untalented hacks.

These days an 8gb card is for folk who don't game. Why on earth are Nvidia even producing them as gaming cards.

 

[toooooot]

I want Nvidia's spectacle to be complete. I want rtx 5050 with 3.5GB vram

Any chance you could add the blue bar graphs to this (for the avg atleast) to see where it lol sits from previous 8gb cards and the rest of the stack

Why do you think they will be running at 1080p? Even budget monitors are now 1440p and any TV is 4K.

And most games don't default to medium. They either run a quick HW scan then default to settings that should get you 60ish FPS, or they default to 720p lowest everything (older and some indie games).

I don't understand why gamers are always grouped into 4K Max Everything and 1080p Low-Medium. If this was really true, the could just sell 2 GPUs every generation. There is a lot of middle ground even for casual gamers that just swap between settings presets.

Maybe for you, cheap 1440p monitors are just your reality, most Steam players still play in 1080p 56.49% (04/29/2025)
In other regions 1440p is still a distant future.
