GeForce RTX 5060 Ti launching April 16th, 8GB/16GB $379/$429

If you buy a new card every year or every other year, I can see the concern.
I only upgrade once every several generations or as necessary\desired.
The reason why I bring up the 2060 Super is because even though it's old now, it held its own for a good while, and that's where my upgrade will start at.
Personally, I don't need ultra settings, making sure every subpixel is perfect and 4k resolution to be happy.
Why use ultra when a lot of times high looks exactly the same in many cases and extremely trivial in others?

The 8gb version I am avoiding like the plague. I can't care any less about that, it's all about the 16gb version for me.
it'll be a big upgrade from our gtx 1070/2060 super but for a card that cost 430 plus tax. It should have been better, it's only 14% over the rtx 4060ti a card that's around 2 years older than it. When it should have been 20% better at least. Look at how much better the 1070 was compared to the 970, the 1070 is around 50% better at least compared to the 970. I don't expect the same big 50% for the 4060 ti to 5060 ti but at 20 to 25% would have been much more fair since it's around 2 years later.
 
Then you should wait. This card is a straight piece of shit.
I have been waiting since the 1060. Had to wait during the COVID prices. Then i finally upgraded to a 3060 12GB a few months ago as a stop gap, just to avoid the shitty 4060 cards. And now the 5060 is just as bad. I'll probably be 60 years old when a decent value card comes along.

It's a Geforce 5000 series, DLSS 4 with transformer model and multi-frame gen. State of the art for 8GB entry-level GPUs. One could do a lot worse than that for USD$300, like one of those weak Intel GPUs priced the same or $250.

Moore's law is a thing, and I am much more interested on the AI side of technology.
raw horsepower roster wise, sure the 5k series cards don't look so hot.
But these cards are not about hitting limits with physical limitations, but busting through the doors with what's to come.
I get it if anyone dislikes Ai technology.
I just hope I don't catch those same people loving xyz when they were just bitching about it not too long ago.
Because I am just going to lol

The time to buy if you want a "decent value card" was AMD's Fire Sale GPUs and just live with it sucking at RT.

The 5070 is for sure a better deal, if you manage to get it at MSRP, than this.

Even a 9070 at MSRP is a better deal and upcoming 5070 GRE should be good for the money.

Otherwise yeah, 5070 at MSRP is terrible but better than 5060Ti
 
It's not a 4k card and he is treating it like it is one. wtf
These are 1440p cards and not using dlss is a retarded decision.
ESPECIALLY on far more recent games.
This card would shit all over my 2060 Super so I think this is a big win in my book.
Do you have problems watching videos? There are benchmarks at the 3 most popular resolutions in the video.

Here's the thing, they used full ray tracing, probably also included path tracing.
If you are going for ultra everything, these cards ain't it.
You can achieve very similar quality by utilizing your settings via optimizing.
If those aspects are that important, nobody should be looking at these cards for those features.
Either go all out, wait 10+ years, or find a medium you can be content with.
 
Doesn't matter how good it is when you cant buy it. And even if you can, if there's nothing else to buy, it still doesn't matter. They can shit out whatever.

Best case here is that these and 9060 xt's are plentiful and amd spanks them. If nvidia doesnt make enough, amd isn't ready to supply this huge nvidia-buying market and everything is sold out and the prices stay stupid.

This card sucks but there's some people who should try to jump on an msrp one while they are momentarily available.

If the RTX 5060 TI 16GB can further increase performance with some A.I tech it has for some future games than that would be nice. I'm cool with some A.I like I enjoy a lot of those A.I vids on YouTube that does their version of existing movies/game with pan vision 1950s/1980s dark fantasy versions or as a 99s movie that sort of thing. It's either funny or interesting as the animation they do have improved a lot overtime.

I don't think AI is being used the exact same way in this case.
It's more direct. I could be wrong, but have yet to find a video that proves otherwise.
 
i just dont get why they give the 16gb models to the 60 series cards but then the base 70 series is stuck with 12gb. Just manufacture a 16gb 5070 you frauds.

And on top of that, the 5080 is only 16gb too, making it kind of pointless.
Now we're going to have a 5060 and a 5080 with the same amount of vram lol

It's like they're mocking us. They heard the VRAM complaints about earlier 60 series cards and then decided to troll by manufacturing a POS card with more VRAM than their actually half decent cards. More VRAM on the lower part of the stack and then nothing for the cards that could actually take advantage of it. augh.
 
You are. You don't need a $2000 PC to not use a 8GB card. You can build a PC for close to half of that and still throw in a 5070/9070.
I disagree. I call bullshit on your post and you're trolling with your bullshit statement. Am I doing it right? Close to half? Define close to half? $1700? Are you in the business of building crap computers just to barely stay on a budget? Next you're going to link to some canadian deal?

Oh look, that wasn't very hard. 6+4 core 14400f processor, 32GB RAM, 1TB Nvme, RTX 5070, and a 750w Gold rated PSU from a decent brand. It even has a really good aftermarket CPU cooler thrown in as well.

Do some research before throwing around stupid statements.

gtfo with that pos cpu..would you build yourself a PC with that? I'm not gonna even bother here. .And you're still missing key peripherals, a piece of crap case as well... Only 1TB ssd wth..Laughable. Thanks for proving my point. Bye bye.

That's a solid pc. 14400f will last a very long time. 1tb is fine for a starting build. I would get a diff brand of ram, and go for Corsair for a cheap case. But that's a great build for $1200.

It'll definitely smoke a ps5 pro and have infinitely more functionality for only $500 more.

14400F is not a POS CPU for gaming, you are clueless.

Imagine calling the 14400f a pos CPU lmao. Not to mention this GPU mops the floor with the PS5 Pro. So you have a PC that will perform around 40% better.

It's not terrible in itself, just a terrible investment overall. The board, the chipset, all dated. Why would I invest over $1500 or whatever on that in 2025? Knock yourself out with it if that's your thing.

Edit: I don't see why you felt the urge to add the comparison to a PS5 Pro...completely unrelated and only looking to stir up shit. You're laughable.

Dated? It launched last year you damn troll lol. The PS5/Pro with their 2019 CPUs are dated though, right?

I also love how you focused on the CPU, but also completely failed to acknowledge how the RTX 5070, the most important piece of the puzzle, annihilates any console on the market.

What launched last year? the 1700 chipset? Again, PS5 Pro has nothing to do with the investment on a Gaming PC, but keep at it troll. If you disagree with me you can laugh at it, ignore me but don't come attack me with your childish whining calling troll. I don't attack your posts calling you names and telling you to "fuck off". You're weak, your arguments are weak and nonsense, don't reply to me I'm done with you.

That CPU is more than enough for gaming with a 5070. Were you thinking of doing something silly like combining a 9800X3D and a 5070? You have even gone so far as to complain about the case. What more do you need for a build like that? If you want something good and affordable you are hardly going to worry about RGB, water cooling, and a fully screw less design. As long as the case is solid and looks halfway decent I doubt many at that price point will complain. You're just nitpicking because you realised your argument is full of shit.

But I'll play along, better case, 2TB Nvme, decent mechanical keyboard, and a great mouse, (because as we all know PC gamers just love buying new keyboards and mice every time they upgrade a PC) for $1350:


For some reason because the 14400f offends you for $50 more:

The 14400F.

Oh, it doesn't?

You can build a PC comparable to the Pro for less than USD$2000?
Or is that not a post from you?

Little baby throwing a tamper tantrum because he got called out and destroyed. Same bullshit you pulled with Bojji Bojji and me. It's a constant shifting of goalposts and willful ignorance. You're not fooling anyone.
 
wait, really? Isn't the PS5 pro like a 4070 which this is slightly slower than?
No, it's more like a 7700 XT with better RT and ML. The 4070 is around 10-15% faster and the 5070 around 35-40% faster.

It does have more VRAM to work with, so that might play a role in the future.

Better. Add controller, add Windows 11, add TAX. Add some extra money for a margin of error as well, because you won't necessarily get all that precisely to the last cent. And there you go, not so close to "half" ($1000) as was said huh?

Didn't I say it was constant goalposts moving? Who the hell doesn't have a controller these days? You do know almost every controller released in the past 15 years is compatible with Windows, right? And Windows 11? Once again, who doesn't have a license? They're transferable, you know this too? Not to mention you get 90% of the feature (and everything you could possibly need for gaming) with a free license. You're really reaching trying to add to the cost of a PC. I hope you'll also add the money for online play when we discuss console prices.

And add taxes?

With Euro pricing this is more expensive than a 2023 AMD equivalent (7700 XT) while performing completely identical in rasterization.
We haven't budged an inch in performance per buck in those years and that's absolutely galling.
 
The 14400F.

Oh, it doesn't?

wow...that's not even from this thread. Not even the same topic, not the same discussion at all. You went to my post history to bring that over here. That's so pathetic...you're the master troll sir, tsk tsk. You go around finding a way to get triggered by my posts and even put pins on them like a weirdo...seek help.

You told me to fuck off. I will tell you now, seeing you're so triggered by anything I post to put me on ignore. I'm not interested in you at all, and you need professional help I can't provide for you.

And for only $20 more you can get a 14600k which honestly blows my mind for the value it holds. A $200 CPU hanging with top of the line CPU's in gaming atleast. It's honestly never been a better time for CPU's and gaming (and RAM and storage). GPU's on the other hand....

Shit I remember paying $300 for 4gb of ram at one point in my life. With inflation that's probably close to 4-500$. Not to mention $300 for a 150gb SSD at one point, then seeing 1TB SSD's for $300 not too long after. Now you can get a damn 2tb nvme for $100. Absolute steal.

I think it's a great time to be building, but the GPU market is completely fucked.

It's a constant. You've been lying about this $2000 PC in several threads. I even showed you a $552 USD 5070 and apparently, it came from an obscure Canadian retailer that I had made a trip to despite me being Canadian and that retailer (Canada Computers) being the biggest computer hardware one in the country. It also wasn't a deal, or do you think they're already discounting NVIDIA products after a month?

GPU prices are arguably at their worst ever, but no need to lie about them either. We don't need to make shit up to understand that the situation is dire.

1700 chipset is dated. But please feel free to disagree. I decline your invitation to join you at the purple forum where I don't doubt you're the king.

- You don't need to add a controller.
- You can buy a Windows 11 retail key for under $10.
- You will get those at those prices, do you think the prices listed were made up?
- Tax? Really? What about those living in Alaska? When discussing US components everyone knows it doesn't include sales tax, unlike EU were VAT is a known entity as part of talking about anything really.

In fact this whole argument is you moving goalposts as you simply don't want to admit you were wrong. Your actual original statement was "budget of USD$2000 to build something decent."

I'd argue "something decent" is PS5 Pro level or better, with no bad components like a shoddy PSU that will crap on you. I'd imagine the overwhelming majority of gamers would understand the same. This fits the bill nicely (don't forget the extra $10 for Windows):


$1236, and we are done here.
