So i ordered a 5060ti 16GB. Feel free to roast.

Return that piece of shit and just buy a ps5.

The console would be a viable choice if OP wasn't just upgrading their GPU. Ditching a decent rig for a console is moronic, unless you absolutely cannot game on PC anymore.
 
Not everyone has the buying power of americans, a lot of people around the world are on RX 580 and Xeon CPUs
Even as an American the 5060ti costing $430 US still feels like too much specially conaidering the 5070 is only $120 more and is dramatically faster. Wish the 5060ti 16GB was $410 or $400.

I fucking love this
 
Even though i said i would never buy this card, i took the plunge.

Found one in my country for €470, which is a nice price drop from the €530 it cost a few weeks ago. It's still too expensive for a rebranded 5050 card but because a friend of mine can buy it cheaper by adding it to his company expenses, the price i'm asked to pay is €380. Which i think it's fair. I also just sold my 3060 12GB for €200 so the final toll for me is €180.

For just €180 out of my pocket i'm getting about 30-40% better performance compared to the 3060 and an additional 4GB of VRAM, along with other small AI niceties. That performance bump seems enough to be able to lock all modern games at 60fps (1080p) since the 3060 was struggling with some and i had to lock them at 40fps. The only issue is the removal of Physx but the only game affected in my case is going to be Alice: Madness Returns. I don't have any other game that uses 32bit Physx.

I know it's not a great card but in my situation i don't think i could do any better. I don't like the Intel cards because of their bad legacy support and AMD doesn't have DLSS, which is something i would miss after the 3060. So i feel this was the best deal for me without breaking the bank but maybe PC GAF disagrees?
I think that's pretty good approach overall. €380 is very good considering current situation and recouping another €200 is cherry on top.

The only alternative in this price range would have been 9060XT.

Basically cutting your nose to spite your face. Why would OP downgrade to console if he/she wants to play on PC? OP resold their old card and upgraded to the latest architecture for under 200 Euros. I think that's fair.

That's like saying to someone who's just bought a burger from Five Guys to get some Macdonald's instead.

Downgrade from what? Insignificant details you pay for a single card?

If you already pay 500 for a single card, why not add 250 on top of that and get a whole system instead?

But I don't know if you will use it for gaming only or also for other software. If it is for gaming, I wouldn't bother.

Either way, hope you enjoy your purchase dude.
A 5060ti 16gb is $430 US, a PS5 Pro is slower and costs $700. If you're gonna spend $700 might as well get a 5070ti that will be about as fast as PS6 than a PS5 Pro not to mention any CPU from 2019 onwards will beat the pants out of a PS5 Pro in gaming.
 
That's like having a Peter North long dick (16GB VRAM) with the girth of a pencil.

Your PC will laugh at you. 😐
It's not bad the 4070 is only 10% faster and that was a card that people said was too fast for only having 12GB that and 5060ti can be OCd to be faster than a 4070 so 16GB is pretty great here.
 
Just 12400, no f or K.

DDR5 6000. It's probably overkill for that CPU, i know. But i may upgrade to an i7 or i9 later on (12 gen always, i'm not touching the newer ones). Ι'm also going to use the same sticks on my next build in 2 or 3 years.
You could probably get a used i7 on the cheap now days. And 12th gen didn't have the issues 13th and 14th gen have.

No need to upgrade CPU for gaming at most you'll get higher CPU clock but the performance increase likely won't be worth the cost. If I were you I'd wait till AMDs AM5 motherboards are very cheap and get a discounted 7800X3D or any AM5 X3D CPU. It'll be a big upgrade and will leave an upgrade path to an 11000X3D CPU years later.

I wouldn't roast you. Your spending is your freedom of action.
 
Why a PS5 can't even beat a 3060ti let alone a 5060ti. The 5060ti beats a PS5 Pro in raster performance and massively beats it in everything else (RT, DLSS, Ray reconstruction, Path Tracing).

Digital Foundry found the RX 9060 XT (32 CU RDNA 4) 16GB to be similar to the PS5 Pro.

I would rather blow €750 on a GPU than get a Playstation.
 
I didn't know you could build a PC with just a Video Card. Not like it needs a motherboard, ram, cpu, liquid coolers. ssds, power supply, or a case to match a $600 console.

Bro is just changing GPU and you come with stuff like this...

Many of us are just upgrading and have decent platforms from few years ago, more powerful than CPU inside PS5.

Way cheaper to sell old GPU and upgrade than to buy console for whatever reason (and software for it).

You can't, but I did just help a friend build a PC with a 7600x and 5060ti 16GB for $960 total. So just over the cost of a PS5 Pro and three years of PS+ Essentials. The PC gets free online play and cloud saves, along with weekly game giveaways from Epic, and even more games included with Prime.

So more powerful, and saves money over time.
 
The best card from the rtx 50 lineup imo! Allows you to play 4K games with Path Tracing at 60 fps or more. Nuff said.

I'd say 4K 60 is a bit of a stretch on this card. Sure you can hit it with multi frame gen.

If you are able to get things at MSRP the 5070 is more bang for your buck. But that's still a stretch for 4K with some of the latest releases. All that said it's still a great card.
 
Should be a decent upgrade over the 3060.

I see the 5090 FE in stock, tempted since it's one of the few 5090 that fit in a rack case. ATM I'm running the 5090 Astral outside the case with a long riser cable. :messenger_winking_tongue:
what lala land you see the 5090 FE in stock ?
 
The French nvidia site has them in stock.
care to link please ? how is it not sold out is beyond me. these cards are about 50% cheaper than cheapest 5090 you can find :/


this ?

weird. the price is much more expensive than our price here in Canada for the FE. does the listed price include tax ?

It's not a 5050. It's a very typical 60-series card with lots of memory. Not a bad product at all, no need to roast.

It is a bit too expensive though. The problem with the 5060Ti is that the 8GB model shouldn't exist and the 16GB model should cost no more than $399.

It's not. Even if you use MFG 3X, those games are some of the most demanding ones nowadays. Feel free to watch the videos.
 
Frame generation sounds interesting but i need to test it myself and get a feel for it to see if the extra input lag and artifacts are worth it.
 
That sounds like 300 burgers could have been bought instead. Enjoy the new gpu, even if it's not top of the line doesn't mean it's a shit card
 
Isn't it funny how a card which was called "a waste of sand" or something by the usual suspects turns out to actually be the best possible option on the market?
 
Great card thinking about picking one up myself while i wait with it for the 5080 24gb model to release. It's about 3080/4070 performance with 16gb of v-ram and all the new features.
 
At least you didn't buy a 4TB external SSD for your Xbox.
I'm actually the cause for this to happen, a few days before it's release I was searching for a 4tb ssd for my series x and MS took my 5 minutes search on my laptop seriously. I'm still thinking about it though.

It could indicate how shit the market is.

The only reason i got the card is because i had the chance to buy it much cheaper with all the ways i explained in the OP. Otherwise i would never pay 470 euros for it.
 
I got the 16GB version at rrp and I'm pretty happy with it, I still play at 1080p, but I'm maxing everything out with path tracing and using DLAA

The base 5060 is truly a waste.....the 3060 and 2060 will be looked at positively in future, the 4060 and 5060 will be forgotten as the dark times.

The 16GB TI is a pretty solid buy.....it doesnt beat the 4070 and at ~500 dollars its a decent upgrade from the 3060Ti.
Skipping a generation is always the best way to upgrade, if you can, skip two.

P.S A good upgrade should be about 30% gen on gen........so im skipping the 50s and wont get a 60 unless I get an uplift of atleast.......atleast 50%.
