Derail? I make one post. People attack me and tell me to "fuck off"...Ok. You win, I won't post in any PC thread because people get offended and go whine to their mommies. I even got a weirdo here chasing me around getting triggered....
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti launching April 16th, 8GB/16GB $379/$429
My review with 20 benchmarks at 1080p, 1440p and 4K comparing all RTX 40, RTX 50 and RX 9700 (XT). Only AC Shadows and GTA V Enhanced are missing results from some cards, but I'll add them shortly -as well as some other section I couldn't make it. The card arrived yesterday afternoon so I did what I could, which I believe is quite a lot.

Now hold up. What about a monitor? And I have to have a motorized standing table for a PC and an ergonomic $1000 chair.
And I should have a separate office for a PC which means I need a single family home. Now with your PC talk I have to buy a $3 million house in Long Island instead of renting an apartment in Brooklyn! My commute will be 2 hours each way!
PC is the worst deal of the century confirmed.

1700 Chipset is still the best for Gaming. Core Ultra SKUs are not ready for prime time gaming.
If you play on Playstation, which you clearly do, you are obviously well aware that it has a Zen 2 CPU and we are now on Zen 5.
You are taking L after L on here lately.
And, I wasnt talking about the purple place.
What are you talking about? xD

Joke based on QLQ moving goal posts which clearly don't hit!

Yeah, it sucks there is no possibilty to get the cards at MSRP. I'm happy with my 4070, though.

I think stock situation is improving, even in US. However with all the tariff shenanigans, no idea on pricing. CA, UK, EU (not Sweden or Poland it seems) should have pricing in line with MSRP I would think.

Reverse groomer.
to be honest they'd actually make an argument like this as to why consoles are better.
can't forget the 100k corvette you totally need to make that 2 hour commute a bit shorter.... PC mustard race am i right guys?????

When Nvidia creates an architecture, it produces subdivisions that have different uses of the wafer (there are always some that don't come out perfect, but it is still possible to use parts of them).
In the case of the 5000 series, we have:
GB-202 - This is basically the entire chip, 24k CUDA Cores, has a 512-bit memory interface.
GB-203 - This is basically half the chip, 10k CUDA Cores, has a 256-bit memory interface.
GB-205 - Another cut almost in half, 6k CUDA Cores, has a 192-bit interface.
GB-206 - Here basically 1/6 of the chip, with 4.6k CUDA Cores, has a 128-bit interface.
GB-207 - The rest of the rest, with 2.5K CUDA Cores, has a 128-bit interface.
Memories are now supplied in chips with 1 GB or 2 GB of data per chip. Each chip communicates with a 32-bit memory controller.
The 5060 Ti has a 128-bit memory bus, since it uses GB-206: 128/32 = 4, that is, it would be possible to use 4 GB of data if you use the 1 GB chips or 8 GB if you use the 2 GB chips. To get the 16 GB, companies use a technique called clamshell, in which they place more chips on the PCB, dividing the 32-bit communication into 2 16-bit channels. That's why you gain in VRAM size, but the bus speed remains the same.
The 5070 has 192 bits, since it uses GB-205: 192/32 = 6, you would use 6 GB with 1 GB chips or 12 GB with 2 GB chips. If you make a clamshell, you could have 24 GB, but this GPU is faster and therefore generates more heat. Packing more chips would make them into a mini-oven or at least would greatly increase power consumption and raise the price of the board. That's why we only see these techniques in low-end chips, since they consume less power, are cheaper, etc.
The problem is that Nvidia uses the worst chips for the strongest cards. The 3060 used 192-bit buses. The 2060 Super used 256-bit!
There are 3GB GDDR7 chips, which in the future will allow a 5070 Super to have 18GB of VRAM (if they don't change the current bus). Nvidia didn't use them now because they are much more expensive.

Isnt the 16 gb card trading blows with the rx 7700 xt?
Imagine paying $380 for a 128-bit 8 gb card in 2025, that performs even lower than a 7700 xt. Lmao
