They were on their way here but ran out of RAM.

We had 3060 12gigs launch over 4years ago at 330$ msrp, now nvidia takes away vram from 20-25% stronger card and what can u do with this card in 2027-2028 once next gen consoles/games arrive, ppl can only shove those 8gigs of vram up their ass

Yups, if my fellow gaffers are wondering if they shoulf bite, srsly spend bit more and go for 16gigs version of 5060ti, at least u wont be preasured to replace it till next gen crossgen period ends so around 2030, with 5060 that 8gigs will force u to upgrade by 2027-2028 latest so 60xx launch(or amd equivalent at that time).

im seeing these pieces of shit go for 500 dollars, at that point you might as well spend the extra 150-200 for a 9070 and give novideo the middle finger.
8gb. in 2025. This is about as bad as pre ryzen intel.

if its anything less than 12gb its dead to me. 9070 is at least 16gbfrom HUB

it's 8 and 16gb, but AIB's announce only 16GB version. Seems AMD give to them freedom, what they want to sell.

the fact there's an 8gb version at all is incredibly concerning but we'll see

AIBs want an 8GB version because it sells better for them through the OEMs while having higher margin for the AIBs. Which is why you see 5060Ti 8GB and will see 9060XT 8GB as well. This has zero to do with AMD giving anyone any freedom.

8 gb would be fine on a $150 card with matching performance but we seem to be in a new era where that doesn't exist. Even those $200 6600's appear to be dried up.
An affordable apu that can trade with ps5 can't come fast enough. $300 is just too much when you still need another $400 of stuff to finish a build that can't play some games right off the bat thanks to that 8gb. Ditch that card and get a gaming apu that is $100 more than a normal cpu and you are back at $500 to get into pc gaming.

Does anyone has at least a prediction on how much 8gb GDDR7 actually cost? Is there some sort of RAM shortage in the market?
It's beyond my comprehension why neither AMD nor Intel cut NVIDIA's legs by simply killing the 8GB versions and putting an aggressively priced 16GB version on top of the RTX 5060 8GB.

would be interesting to see battle between 5060 and 9060xt 8gb with full pcie on PCI3(b450) motherboards

And AMD created the same problem by naming 8GB and 16GB versions of their GPUs the same. This shit was done on purpose.

I didn't think they could make a worse generation than the 40 series and yet here we are, fuck Nvidia.

Just the fact that there are 16gb options is a big step.
It was a strange upgrading from an 8GB card to another 8gb card. And now I'm upgrading from a 16 to another 16. So I don't like the situation. But at least now, so many people aren't going to get railroaded into 8gb. The gap to 16gb is $50.
There are going to be so many 8gb cards in use for so long, might as well accept it's around as the baseline. Maybe this gen will be the last, maybe next. Developers will waste tons of time trying to get their games to look good on there. Sort of the way of the world now, though. The only think showcasing what hardware can do is demos and benchmarks.

The 40 series wasn't bad though. 4090, 4080, 4070 Ti, 4070S, and even the 4070 are all great to good cards. There were a few stumbles such as the launch price of the 4080 and the lack of a 16GB 4060, but otherwise, I'd say it was better than Turing and fairly comparable to Maxwell, if not better.

There's a GPU like that, it's called 5060Ti 16GB, if you think that you need such VRAM amount go and buy it.
Expecting a commercial company to take a financial hit and gift you more VRAM for no reason is lunacy.
What one could argue in this case is that a 5060 16GB would be a better option for the lineup than a 5060Ti 8GB.
But there's a huge MP only market which doesn't need more than 8GB while it does need all the performance it can get.
Which is why I wouldn't just assume that Nvidia doesn't know what the market wants or what would sell better. Their results certainly suggest that they know this really well.

Yeah because multiplayer games will forever be stuck with low requirements.
Financial hit? You have to be kidding me, they have very healthy margins on every GPU model. You want to play games with lower settings on 5060ti 8gb? You can do that, just know that this GPU is powerful enough to display maximum settings in many games, it just needs that precious vram.
8gb model will be worthless on second hand market as well while currently MSRP difference is only 50$ 8gb model is for idiots.

Stop shilling.
DRAMeXchange has 16Gbit GDDR6 chips at around ~$8-10/piece. They don't list GDDR7, but presumably around that price or somewhat higher. You need 4x extra chips to build a 16GB rather than 8GB variant, so with the 9060XT and 5060 Ti 16GB both +$50 over 8GB they are likely sold at pretty close to the BOM increase after the extra VRM components, PCB layers etc needed.

Okay explain this to me like i'm a 6 years old.

Its like we need 2 of these to get 16gb or i'm interpreting it wrong? 3 USD more?
+ the structural components changes in the card, which shouldn't be many since this isn't a case like a 1060 6gb/3gb with cut down cores etc. The entire cost of planning and executing an extra assembly line probably doesn't even justify the 50 dollars.
If this isn't plain and simple planned obsolescence or NV saying "the price is too damn high for ya, get this shit instead"...

RAM chips are in bits, not bytes.
8Gbit = 1GB
16Gbit = 2GB
8GB is 4x 16Gbit, and 16GB is 8x. 8Gbit is obsolete and EOL, nothing currently in the market really uses it except for XSS/XSX.

Lemme remind u guys just how awful those lowend/entry lvl gpu's are by comparing it to a ppl's champion back from early 2014, 750ti, which had fricken 150usd msrp(and actual streetprice too).
It matched for solid few years performance of 400$/€ base ps4 for fraction of its price

Is there any point to make console vs pc warpost in a 5060/ti review thread, come on bro, u are smarter than that xD

I have a i5 3470 + GTX 750 for indies, emulation and old games, the damn thing still kicking just fine.

Forever or not but most of these games are "forever games" so they do tend to be stuck at whatever (low) requirements they had launched with.
And they won't take a hit on that for no reason, correct. The fact that someone thinks that they could or even should means zero.
This GPU is nowhere close to being powerful enough to "display maximum settings in many games".
8GB model will be fine on a 2nd hand market because the price is already low enough to not fall much from there.

So... im replaying this beast of a game on my new GPU, with DLSS4 mod, looks great, runs great, can't wait for Resident Evil 9.

It's disappointing that they haven't offered enough improvement to justify upgrading from the 3060ti(apart from the 8GB ram difference ofc). Maybe the 6060ti will change my mind. It's surprising to see such small differences after two generations.

I love multi frame-gen x3, is perfect for my 180hz monitor, locked at 171fps co im in gsync range all the time. Can't feel any added latency. This fluidity..
