it is 2019, the 2060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2020, the 3060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2023, the 4060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2025, the 5060ti has 8gb of vram.
My 1080 from 2017 has 8gb of vram. Still works fine.
My 3060 has 12gb of vram…
You probably have to return the 4gb extra then.
The whole fact that NVIDIA is not allowing AIBs to send the 8GB card to reviewers is quite telling. They are simply banking on illiterate purchasers, system integrators to sell this variant. That’s another low for NVIDIA but hardly surprising anyone.
Planned obsolescence.
This is worse than planned obsolescence. This is basically manufactured ewaste.
They should use the 5060s for disposable vapes.
I agree, but it is still crazy that there are people out there making $500 plus purchases without the smallest bit of research. I really hope this card fails only for the reason that it deserves to.
why the fuck is a 50 series Ti card having only 8gb of vram
Maybe it has an Sd slot or something?
Because it’s the low-end xx60? Also, apparently Nvidia did some high-tech magic that allows higher-res textures to be handled with less vRAM.
But, yeah, it’s a 5060. You’re not buying this to play in 4k Ultra.
Ever since the 40 series, you need to downgrade every card by 1 tier to get the actual product. Nvidia marketing gimmick.
RTX 4060 - RTX 4050
RTX 4060 Ti - RTX 4050 Ti
RTX 4070 - RTX 4060
RTX 4070 Super - higher clock speed RTX 4060
RTX 4070 Ti - RTX 4060 TI
RTX 4070 Ti Super - RTX 4070
RTX 4080 - RTX 4070 TI
RTX 4080 Super - RTX 4080
RTX 40?? - RTX 4080 TI. There definitely should have been a GPU in this bracket judging by transistor counts. Would eat into the insane 4090 margin though so it wasn’t meant to be.
RTX 4090 is of course appropriately named.
It’s actually worse than that. Some Supers clock in at base, some Tis perform better than Super Tis, it’s just a shitshow of actual compute performance. How they manage to avoid false advertising claims is of much fascination to me.
Oddly enough, if you look at the inflated street prices, they are pretty slavishly aligned to real performance of the cards lol.
This video clearly shows the NVIDIA magic is pooping in your own pants.
And the card even struggles at 1080p with 8GB…
I love to poop in my own pants
I mean that NVIDIA will poop your pants
Is it firm or liquid?
So it’s performing worse than 3060 or 4060?
In some instances, it performs worse than 3060 12GB. It does not perform worse than 4060 as both perform terribly when 8GB isn’t enough
Time to short Nvidia??
On the flip-side, every game worth playing uses 2GB vram or less at 1080p.
I don’t even have a GPU, but to be honest I don’t even game anymore cuz I work more hours then there are in a day
Even 8GB is fine to be honest, even at high settings. People are a bit dramatic about it.
Depends on the use case. And even at 1080p there are quite a few games that use 8gb or close to it. Ghostrunner and LOTF (2023) come to mind. Although tbf, I played the first one on my RX580 8G (I think) almost maxed out and it did fine.
But if you’re buying a card now, especially at new modern card prices, you want to have at least a bit of future proofing.
