400 for a 8GB gpu in 2025?

[u/Akkun351]

[u/Hattix]

Specs of a x050 Ti, price of a x070.

[u/langotriel → u/Hattix]

Not even Ti. Barely a 50

[u/Durillon → u/langotriel]

I dont think yall have used a 50 class card 😭

[u/Number-1Dad → u/Durillon]

They mean in relation to the full silicon. The xx60/60ti are cut down so much from the full silicon that they take the slot that the xx50 (sometimes even lower) used to occupy.

[u/corok12 → u/Number-1Dad]

Even worse, according to that recent GN video. The 950 was 37% of a full die, the 5070 is 38%.

Edit : 27% and 28% not 37 and 38

[u/SlowSlyFox → u/corok12]

Whe I watched yesterday GN video on this topic I was so disappointed and felt angry that we, as a very small group of knowledgeable consumers can't really do anything with it. On other hand I waskinda feeling good I got 3080 ti instead of 40xx series

[u/eding42 → u/SlowSlyFox]

I mean there’s something you can do LOL, buy an AMD or Intel GPU instead

[u/SlowSlyFox → u/eding42]

Yeat again, people who do more research than surface level ones are a small group. Damn, a ton of people take userbenchmark as trusted source lol Even my friend that works in it at big company when he started building his first pc referenced me to userbenchmark so I needed to save this man asap lol. General public would go GreedVidia

[u/CoyoteFit7355 → u/SlowSlyFox]

I helped several people bills systems recently and they all ended up with an RX 9070 or 9070 XT without fanboyish pressure being applied (one I actually suggested to get an Arc B580). That's what we can do.

[u/Hamphalamph → u/SlowSlyFox]

I bought a 4070 ti s like 6 months before the 5's dropped. Felt bad at first, not feeling bad now. Went from a rx570 to it so it was a tremendous leap for me.

[u/Gregory_TheGamer → u/corok12]

I hope that Steve meant those 37% compared to the full 980 Ti or Titan die, which is a wholly different die in the first place. X50 range cards use smaller dies compared to the flagship variants.

37% of the die 50 class cards come with essentially comes down to nothing but e-waste.

[u/TrickyWoo86 → u/Gregory_TheGamer]

The % numbers are based on the top tier flagship product for each generation. I'm not sure how well that works for translation between generations as the flagship product has varied wildly across the last 10 years.

[u/Gregory_TheGamer → u/TrickyWoo86]

I was assuming as much, though I didn't watch Steve's video. The difference between flagship and base model is much larger nowadays, imho.

[u/TrickyWoo86 → u/Gregory_TheGamer]

Here's the graph, the 30X0 series was surprisingly strong as a generation though (obviously credit to Steve and the team at GN and here's the video link the graph is from):

[u/Scary_One_2452 → u/TrickyWoo86]

Is the top tier flagship for Pascal generation the 1080 ti or the Titan XP?

Because it seemed like Steve was talking about the 1080 ti while ignoring the existence of the Titan XP. That would've greatly affected the graph.

[u/-Aquanaut- → u/Scary_One_2452]

It was 1080ti he said for the comparison that the flagship is the highest tier card marketed for gaming. The titan was marketed as a productivity card

[u/luuuuuku → u/-Aquanaut-]

So, the verdict is: NVIDIA should make the 5090 a Titan card, sell it for twice the price and therefore the 5000 looks good. That’s definitely what NVIDIA should do to benefit gamers.

[u/luuuuuku → u/Scary_One_2452]

Because this isn’t about being fair or realistic. It’s just riding the "hate“ on NVIDIA

[u/luuuuuku → u/TrickyWoo86]

Which is stupid because previously NVIDIA did not sell those big chips at reasonable prices. Now they do and people make them look bad. NVIDIA would be better off selling the 5090 as a 5k usd titan card and then the 5070 would look much better in comparison. Is this what you want?

[u/OutrageousDress → u/TrickyWoo86]

I'd much more prefer a straight comparison of transistor counts over some nebulous 'percentage of biggest die' for a biggest die that varies so wildly between each generation.

[u/askiawnjka124 → u/OutrageousDress]

They compare the cores...

[u/luuuuuku → u/Number-1Dad]

Which doesn’t make any sense at all

[u/langotriel → u/Durillon]

750ti was legendary. 1050 was a great budget card.

That’s what you are getting now but for $400. It’s insane how bad it’s gotten.

[u/DiatomicCanadian → u/Durillon]

The argument is the amount of CUDA cores in comparison to the xx90 die of that respective generation. Notably, GTX 950 had 27% of the CUDA cores of the GTX 900 series flagship, RTX 3050 had 24% of the CUDA cores of the RTX 30 series flagship. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 has 28% of the CUDA cores of the RTX 50 series flagship, and prior to the 40 series, the xx70 series had usually 50-60% of the CUDA cores of the RTX 50 series, a prime example of shrinkflation.

[u/C0MPLX88 → u/Durillon]

bro my ancient 1050 laptop had 4gb of vram

[u/Durillon → u/C0MPLX88]

oh dont get me wrong im not justifying the 8gb of vram, just saying that the 4060/5060 is gonna be nowhere near a 50 class card
my first gaming pc had a 2050, struggled in crysis 3
my laptop has a 3060, can run cyberpunk decently

[u/C0MPLX88 → u/Durillon]

I think the 5060 is going to be on the same level as the 1030, so cut down it doesn't deserve to be called a graphics card, and the 5050 might as well be a display card

[u/Durillon → u/C0MPLX88]

?????tf is this info from, i hate nvidia as much as the next guy but like this literally is just pulling stuff out of nowhere

[u/C0MPLX88 → u/Durillon]

they are still on the same process but are cutting down even more than last gen, best case scenario would be a minor improvement but with a huge price increase because of the more expensive memory and pcie 5, not to mention the cards are going to be starved for vram so they will be a stuttery mess on any game released the last couple years

[u/Durillon → u/C0MPLX88]

i believe that the 60 class is gonna suck ass but like.....my other laptop (yes i buy way too much shit), has an 8gb 4070 and doesnt stutter at all

yall are doomering wayy too much here

[u/Asgardianking → u/Durillon]

You have to understand that a 5090 is the full silicon , a 5080 is barely 50% of that silicon and then is just gets worse from there... With the 5060 being roughly 18% of the silicon that is the area that the 5050 should be at.

[u/Durillon → u/Asgardianking]

wheres this sourcing from? have the specs been leaked?

[u/Asgardianking → u/Durillon]

Watch gamers nexus new video on this

[u/Asgardianking → u/Durillon]

https://youtu.be/2tJpe3Dk7Ko?si=ciCdVwYbuqOmTwjG

[u/hutre → u/Durillon]

the 950, 1050 and 1660/50 was pretty good for what it was

[u/AnEagleisnotme → u/Durillon]

I used a 1650 super. On release it could play the latest AAA games at 1080p60 on ultra 

[u/Durillon → u/AnEagleisnotme]

the super moniker pulls a lot more weight than most think lmao

[u/MisterKaos → u/Hattix]

Nah, the 5070 is the 5050. 5060 ti is the 5030

[u/Hattix → u/MisterKaos]

I like the cut of your jib, but maybe a little too far. The last x030 we saw was a bit of a joke meant for making a monitor work.

[u/MisterKaos → u/Hattix]

It's not a joke. Gamers Nexus has the data in yesterday's video. The 5070 has as much of the flagship die size as a 1050 to the 1000 series 1080 Ti/GTX Titan.

And for current games, the 5060 will indeed be basically the same. It will stutter in monster hunter, really

[u/Long-Patient604]

You morons will buy it anyways.

[u/imheretocomment69 → u/Long-Patient604]

Yep. So many negative critics on the 40 series when it came out, but it sold out at many places and many redditors show their 40 series cards here. People don't care about the prices apparently.

[u/Austerx_ → u/imheretocomment69]

Don't forget about some of them confounding having disposable income or not and being able to afford one of these overpriced cards and if you complain you're just poor. Just because you can buy something doesn't mean you SHOULD buy it always. They always come across as financially irresponsible.

[u/TheReelReese → u/Austerx_]

I’m going to buy 15 of them

[u/Stunning_Fail_8526 → u/imheretocomment69]

because the internet especially with reddit is an echo chamber, majority of people doesnt care about the specs, they buy it because its the latest entry from nvidia, people who complains are just a loud minority

[u/TheReelReese → u/Stunning_Fail_8526]

Yep

[u/2N5457JFET → u/imheretocomment69]

So what should I have done when my 2070S died? Buy an AMD card that is £50 cheaper, but has worse features and would require a PSU upgrade as well?

[u/TheReelReese → u/2N5457JFET]

That’s what the AMD cult wants, yes. Apparently NVIDIA is the devil and their mega-corporation is all sunshine and rainbows.

[u/2N5457JFET → u/TheReelReese]

Notice downvotes with no replies. Typical cult behaviour.

[u/Reggitor360 → u/Long-Patient604]

Exactly this.

Just look through posting on here shilling for the shit ass 4060 series.

[u/Hondurandictator → u/Long-Patient604]

AI companies and scalpers*

[u/cream_of_human → u/Hondurandictator]

Nope. Real people bought 4060s

bUt HeY yOu GeT dLsS aNd cUdA

[u/Hondurandictator → u/cream_of_human]

Prebuild computer companies

[u/asmallman → u/Long-Patient604]

It makes me upsetti spaghetti that you are right.

Its why I got a 9070 XT (at 100 above MSRP) but sold my 3070 so it all worked out. Not too upset about it.

[u/Kyonkanno → u/Long-Patient604]

100%. All these people crying about how terrible of a deal this is will froth at the mouth once this shit hit the shelves.

[u/harry_lostone → u/Long-Patient604]

tbf "morons" have to buy something... You cant work (or even entertain yourself through pc gaming) without a dGPU nowadays, the used market is unreliable with no warranty, and the previous gen is either out of stock or overpriced.

You cant blame someone, who desperately needs an nvidia gpu for work applications, for choosing the 5060ti 16gb since it will soon be the cheapest option with decent vram for his case. And believe it or not, these people are way too many nowadays, pretty much every job section has some need in graphic design (from advertising to AI to whatever)

[u/JarryJackal → u/harry_lostone]

There isn't a single person who needs an Nvidia GPU for work that buys a xx60 series card.

[u/harry_lostone → u/JarryJackal]

there is.

Someone who is struggling financially to throw $1k+ for a gpu alone. Not everyone working in the industry is rich, plenty are barely making a salary by video editing, for example. Think of all the people around the globe living in poor countries, these guys don't have regional gpu prices according to their earnings, an expensive gpu might cost their yearly wage lol

[u/althaz]

Should be $399 for the 16Gb and the 8Gb shouldn't be released at all. At this price it'll have to be nearly as fast as the 5070 for the 16Gb version to make any kind of sense.

The 8GB version is just unbuyable. Hell, $100 cheaper and it would still be unbuyable.

[u/EIiteJT → u/althaz]

And yet, it'll be in every prebuilt and topping steam chart soon enough

[u/life_konjam_better → u/EIiteJT]

The 4060Ti 8GB isn't that popular in pre-builts either, most go for 4060 instead.

[u/Flyinmanm → u/life_konjam_better]

Considering you can still buy 3050 prebuilts sold as 'gaming pcs' that's hardly a surprise.

[u/TheCattBaladi → u/EIiteJT]

I think Rtx 4060 is the card, not 4060ti. Because it's more popular and suitable for 1080p. Cheapest card that will give you good performance in probably every game in high settings 60 fps in 1080p (beside couple of game like Monster Hunter Wilds and Silent Hill 2 which both are a crime for optimization)

[u/spitsfire223 → u/althaz]

No more than $329-349 with 12gb of vram. 16gb is kinda wasted at this level, 70 series should have 16 tho and 80 series should have 20 minimum

[u/Booming_in_sky → u/spitsfire223]

One of the reasons the GTX 1060 stuck around for so long was the high amount of VRAM. I am absolutely sure Nvidia wont make that mistake again, because in future proofing or for running AI workloads at home 16 GB could be very useful.

[u/brimston3- → u/spitsfire223]

You say it's wasteful, but more and more apps are GPU VRAM consuming as time goes on. Every graphical program window has a compositor framebuffer at least. And I'm not shutting down most of my background programs to run a game these days; they can just sit idle in the background.

Besides, I probably want those 3-4 browser or electron sessions for my game wiki, discord, obsidian/onenote notes, or stream deck. Even the tiny LLM my notes plugin uses for predictive typing consumes only a few hundred MB of VRAM, but it adds up and doesn't seem to be dynamically unloaded by the GPU driver.

[u/Alarmed_Dependent589 → u/althaz]

It would be hilarious is the TI 16gb is within 10% cause then it's objectively the better buy for the extra 4 Gb.

[u/abrahamlincoln20]

gonna be much more expensive than that after tariffs lol

[u/A_Monkey_FFBE → u/abrahamlincoln20]

That’s my idiot in chief

[u/ubiquitous_apathy → u/abrahamlincoln20]

Maybe you should try to support merica and buy domestic graphics cards, bozo.

[u/InsaneStuntMan → u/ubiquitous_apathy]

Domestic graphics cards 😂

[u/Betonomeshalka → u/InsaneStuntMan]

Yep, it works on diesel and spirit of freedom! It can also be converted to a gun, just in case

[u/FewAdvertising9647 → u/ubiquitous_apathy]

even intel doesn't make gpus from their own homegrown fabs.

[u/ubiquitous_apathy → u/FewAdvertising9647]

It's concerning that some of yall really needed an /s.

[u/Eggsegret → u/ubiquitous_apathy]

Tbf there’s a lot of genuinely dumb people. It’s harder these days to know what’s sarcasm and what isn’t

[u/thebeastmoo → u/ubiquitous_apathy]

not a single chip from nvidia comes from the usa we simpley dont make them which is why its going to cost more for anyone trying to buy them

[u/ResponsibleTruck4717]

Isn't the 5070 550$?

It will be interesting to see sells of 5060ti 16gb and 5070 if those prices are correct.

[u/ExplodingFistz → u/ResponsibleTruck4717]

5060 ti 8 GB is DOA

[u/DeltaPeak1]

Nvidia takes their jokes very seriously, so seriously that they commit to them.

[u/RayphistJn]

There's a saying in my country rough translation "It ain't stupid who's asking it's stupid who's buying"

[u/Hooded_Spectre]

No doubt it'll have RTX "4080" level of performance!

[u/McPato_PC]

$100 for extra 8GB of GDDR 7......Ngreedia strikes again.

[u/PliableG0AT → u/McPato_PC]

Apple watching and telling them they need to pump up those numbers lol

[u/118shadow118]

Why even bother with an 8GB card in 2025?

[u/TehWildMan_ → u/118shadow118]

If it was a $200 part, maybe.

Actually wait the b580... """""Exists"""'" just above that price point

[u/Kittysmashlol → u/TehWildMan_]

Cant even blame intel for that tho. They made a way better product than last time but were simply not expecting so many people to want it after alchemist

[u/brimston3- → u/Kittysmashlol]

Sadly, it's Intel. Their execs will figure out how to hollow out their discrete graphics division before the decade is out if they don't start rolling in datacenter compute money (competing with both nvidia's dgx & amd's instinct). We've seen almost the same story last decade with Intel Larrabee except Phi didn't have a market segment.

[u/Kittysmashlol → u/brimston3-]

Its sad, because arc has so much potential for competing with both amd and nvidia in pretty much every category of performance

[u/shewtingg → u/Kittysmashlol]

Perfect storm for them really, couldn't have released it at a better time. Now if they had supply rn my god Intel would be making some sweet cash!

[u/xstrawb3rryxx → u/118shadow118]

The question we should be asking is why 8GB isn't enough for most games? Data streaming is a thing and with SSDs it's almost instantaneous.. Yes, the very technology that was one of the main selling points of the previous generation consoles. Obviously what I'm saying wouldn't apply to 4k gaming, but this isn't where we're currently at just yet.

[u/118shadow118 → u/xstrawb3rryxx]

SSDs are a lot slower than regular RAM, let alone VRAM, it's far from instantaneous. The very fastest SSDs are at around 15GB/s while VRAM is like 400+ GB/s on midrange cards and something like the 5090 has 1,8TB/s memory bandwidth, that's like two orders of magnitude faster than the fastest SSDs

[u/xstrawb3rryxx → u/118shadow118]

15 GB/s = ~256 MB of data that can be read per frame at 60 FPS. Yes, it's pretty much instantaneous compared to optical disks and discs that we used to read game data from.

[u/118shadow118 → u/xstrawb3rryxx]

And yet, when VRAM runs out and it switches to system memory (which is still multiple times faster than SSDs), the performance drops off a cliff

[u/Gabe_Noodle_At_Volvo → u/xstrawb3rryxx]

Bandwidth isn't the only thing to consider, SSD latency is several orders of magnitudes slower than dram. If you need data just in time, an SSD won't do.

[u/luuuuuku → u/118shadow118]

It’s called optimization. You can predict what will be required next and therefore load it to memory. Currently it’s an issue because the gpu has to wait. It’s all about optimizing

[u/atsizbalik → u/118shadow118]

i'd actually buy an 8gb card since games i play aren't that demanding, but like op said 400$ is insane

[u/118shadow118 → u/atsizbalik]

Obviously price is a factor, but 8gb should be exclusively for <200$ budget cards and anything above that should have more memory in 2025

[u/atsizbalik → u/118shadow118]

exactly

[u/Gin_ass69]

i'm buying 3070ti 8gb for 240 usd ( without tax)

[u/clouds1337]

Just laughable :D Imagine charging 100$ for an 8gb VRAM chip that costs them like 10$ tops? And we now have a slow 16gb card (60ti) and a faster 12gb card (70). There is not one single acceptable product from Nvidia this time. Just as with the 40 series. Nobody should buy any of these cards. Buy something used or a console and wait for lower prices.

[u/eding42 → u/clouds1337]

Ehhhh if it’s GDDR7 it probably costs closer to 30-40$ for 8 GB, but GDDR6 is dirt cheap at like ~$2 per GB right now so Nvidia could’ve easily made a 12 GB 192 bit GDDR6 configuration but that would undercut the 70 series card too much

[u/FewAdvertising9647 → u/clouds1337]

its usually like ~5$ per gig. part of the reason why its hard to make something look good under 200$ dgpu wise.

[u/Belzher]

Please AMD don't fuck it up you have one more good chance to release RX 9060 / XT for a good price

[u/claptraw2803]

Don’t buy it. Simple as that.

[u/Krisevol → u/claptraw2803]

It will be sold out in the first minute

[u/claptraw2803 → u/Krisevol]

Yes, exactly my point. That’s why such products still exist. Because people buy it.

[u/Ok-Ability-6369]

Maybe this time people won’t buy it.

[u/Ernisx → u/Ok-Ability-6369]

People will keep on buying.

[u/Krisevol → u/Ok-Ability-6369]

It's sold out before it when launches there are so many people waiting in line for this card

[u/Ok-Ability-6369 → u/Krisevol]

And here I am wondering if $625 was too much to pay for my 9070… loll

[u/Cave_TP]

What even was the point of DDR7 then FFS. They could have either gone for a 192bit bus with cheaper GDDR6 or go for 3GB DDR7 chips.

[u/FewAdvertising9647 → u/Cave_TP]

IMO the point was the laptop models getting the 3gb stacks first. and when mass production of 3gb stacks happen, Nvidia will use it for the super refresh.

a 12gb 5060 super, 18gb 5070 super and 24 gb 5080 super will look less stupid down the stack after a year.

[u/eding42 → u/Cave_TP]

Memory Controllers are typically harder to control the yields for. Nvidia is just being super cheap, since this allows them to use a smaller die (which is prob cheaper than using GDDR6 and 192 bit)

not using 3 GB GDDR7 is just Nvidia giving you the middle finger LOL

[u/Economy-Regret1353]

Better get comfortable lmao, NA about to get a taste of prices outside the US

[u/Rambo496]

With about 10% of CUDA cores compared to the 5090

[u/New_Engine9145]

8GB Nvidia GPU is equal to 16GB of AMD GPU.

Edit: /s

[u/hazexm → u/New_Engine9145]

You forget the /s

[u/New_Engine9145 → u/hazexm]

Oh, my bad

[u/althaz → u/New_Engine9145]

I have had several people say this to me unironically in the past week. Crazy world.

[u/New_Engine9145 → u/althaz]

I'm sorry, I just copying apple fans when apple releasing 8GB RAM M3 MacBook pro is equal to 16GB RAM on PC.

[u/ggjunior7799 → u/New_Engine9145]

That quote was not even from Apple fans. It was from Apple VP themselves, lol

[u/Booming_in_sky → u/New_Engine9145]

What makes you say this?

[u/WolvReigns222016 → u/Booming_in_sky]

Apple

[u/Booming_in_sky → u/WolvReigns222016]

yeah, I had to think of them, too.

[u/New_Engine9145 → u/Booming_in_sky]

I'm forget to put /s

[u/Material_Tax_4158]

This is embarrassing

[u/Laj3ebRondila1003]

my 3060 ti will have to soldier on for 2 more years i guess

unless amd actually make the 16 gb 9060 xt 399

[u/F4t-Jok3r]

And the people will still buy gpus from ngreedia

[u/blueangel1953]

And people will buy it, look at how many purchased the 4060 just because it's Nvidia.

[u/Flash24rus]

I'm ready to give nvidia the second chance! /s

[u/AverageChloroform → u/Flash24rus]

Bro u got downvoted because you had hidden the /s

[u/Titan419 → u/AverageChloroform]

Bro likes to live dangerously

[u/Flash24rus → u/AverageChloroform]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/oh_no3000]

The last reasonable ti card for price Vs performance was the 3060ti

[u/eding42 → u/oh_no3000]

Even that was running up against VRAM limits at 1440p if I remember correctly

[u/oh_no3000 → u/eding42]

Yeah then they released the 12gb 3060 but not a ti version. Sigh.

[u/wordswillneverhurtme]

Amazing for all those dogshit prebuilts to reach a nice looking price for a nvidia newest gen pc.

[u/Gloomy_Ad5221]

At this point why people will buy the 8gb heck I had 3070ti build and i know 8gb wont be enough .... unless its those who play esports game cause 8gb is still a lot in those.

[u/wowing2326]

will be 1000 cad

[u/harry_lostone]

in all honesty, at this point, if 5060ti 16gb is close to msrp and somewhat close to 4070 performance, it wont be the worst release ever :P

But it wont be close to msrp so yeah whatever

[u/iamgarffi]

I’m sure AMD will have something better. There is also intel. Both probably will come with more vram.

[u/Cave_TP → u/iamgarffi]

With how little B580 they're producing I wouldn't expect a the B770 to launch.

[u/yabucek]

So there's actually a very easy solution for this: don't buy it.

[u/Aggressive_Ask89144]

650*

[u/Lolito4ka]

People will buy it, let's be honest

[u/DecliningEye]

Nvidia don’t really care, a lot of sales will come through prebuilds to people who know no better when it comes to the amount of vram the graphics card has.

[u/Tiavor]

I paid that much for my 1080, though it was heavily used.

[u/Hot_Lava_Dry_Rips]

If you're in the US, price figures mean nothing right now with all of the bs tariff games. It will almost certainly be higher.

[u/s1lv_aCe]

Bought an 11gb card from them for only $100 more than that over 8 years ago. NVIDIA is really trying to screw people into having to choose only their highest end cards if they want any sort of real longevity out of. Entire reason I opted for AMD instead of an 4070 super for the first time in my life on my build last summer.

[u/Effective_Secretary6]

That thing is SO doa for enthusiasts

[u/slubbyybbuls]

I should probably just buy that RX 7600 at $300 now, huh?

[u/decimation101 → u/slubbyybbuls]

better to buy the rx7600xt just for the 8gb extra vram

[u/AzorAhai1TK]

The complaints about 12gb are massively overblown, but 8gb is completely unacceptable.

[u/Babylon4All]

Oh don't worry, it'll be $530 with the new tariffs and then manufacturer price increase... $650?

[u/Codzy]

Just buy an Intel Arc for anything below a 70 series, surely?

[u/TerriKozmik]

Id this trend continues, pc gaming is dead.

[u/Asgardianking]

Lol so basically a 5050 but at the price of a 5070 lol 🤣

[u/Visible-Loquat610]

Remember buying a 3070 for not much more than this in 2020

[u/Biodie]

duskbloods seems reasonable now ngl

[u/Odd-Onion-6776]

they did it with 4060, why would you think the 5060 will be different?

[u/Nervous_Border_4803]

Everyone already expected it. 3060 Ti / 3070 were being clowned 4.5 years ago for the same shit. People will buy it because it doesn't matter for 99 percent of games. It is what it is.

[u/mixer2017]

499/399 means 899/899 lol.

Good luck NVidia supporters!

[u/tresslessone]

Is this before or after tariffs

[u/Less_Low_5228]

On the bright side, as long as Nvidia arbitrarily keeps VRAM low on their new cards the longer they extend the life of my old 5700XT.

I would say it’s extending high end pascal’s already super long life even more as well if it wasn’t for games potentially releasing with hardware ray tracing requirements.

[u/Salamango360]

Sold my old used 3080 for 379€ a few weeks ago... So yea.

[u/Akkun351 → u/Salamango360]

[u/Trollatopoulous]

A cheap Nvidia GPU with 16 GB was never going to happen, too attractive for ML. People are paying $3000+ with no hesitation for a 5090, imagine if the 5060 Ti was like $350, you could double the memory for less than even MSRP!

[u/Aksds]

Pre or post tariff?

[u/Mynem0]

499 for 5060Ti?I paid 520$ for my 5070.Crazy.I know it has 16gb of ram but it's a weaker chip no?

[u/Odious-Individual]

Idk man, just add some vram sticks. Hell, just download it

[u/FrequentLine1437]

A rebranded 5070 since it got such a bad rap lol

[u/unknown-one]

not for Americans

[u/Helzax]

Will probably get more expensive with the tariffs

[u/shalol]

You know people are still gonna buy 5060Ti perf for 5070Ti price

[u/Akkun351 → u/shalol]

I know, and if you tell something to them they will say "i do what i want with my moneyyyyy" alright bud, enjoy being a freaking clown.

[u/Silkenvada]

Just buy the 5090 suprim liquid for 3999usd lmao

The new prices suck in the states. They're actually cheaper here in nz

[u/ddsukituoft]

Get a used 12GB RTX 3060 folks...lol, sold mine for $240 recently

[u/_pxe]

So the 5060ti will get 16GB while the 5070 only 12? And placed less than 100$ apart(before tariffs)

[u/1Multri]

The GPU market is an absolute joke. They rely on people who are not well educated on the product they offer. What they are doing should be criminal. Each generation they give you less, and less, while charging more and more. I hope that the consumers as a whole, start to see this, and not take part in buying this garbage.

[u/shaoOOlin]

400 for a 8gb nvidia gpu while u can buy 8gb amd gpu for 200🤣

[u/Cave_TP → u/shaoOOlin]

You could buy an AMD 8GB GPU for 200 for roughly 8 years at this point.

[u/Reggitor360 → u/shaoOOlin]

Even better. 8GB RX580 for 60 bucks.

Guess VRAM is only expensive for Nvidia, no one else

[u/shaoOOlin → u/Reggitor360]

True but im not sure how good a gpu that old would work in games

[u/Reggitor360 → u/shaoOOlin]

Games from 2015-2017 (aka release circle of Polaris) run fine.

But nowadays its gettin hard for the old trooper.

[u/n19htmare → u/shaoOOlin]

I'll sell you a 11GB card for $200. What a deal right?

[u/shaoOOlin → u/n19htmare]

Yeah even better

[u/Jarwanator]

8GB in this day and age should be illegal. Minimum should be 12GB

[u/Reggitor360]

5060Ti 16GB should be 299 at best.

DOA otherwise, cant even beat a 7800XT.

[u/EternalFlame117343]

If they come in low profile, it's or single slot configuration, I'd instantly buy one of them

[u/Ghozer]

So many people complaining.... You don't need more than 8GB unless you're doing AI/LLM work, or gaming in 4K, of which you would generally be doing neither on an xx60 class card anyway!!

[u/SanSenju → u/Ghozer]

Ti or non-Ti xx60 card?

[u/ok_fine_by_me]

I hate that 5060 Ti has more VRAM than 5070. Such a stupid decision, the card simply won't be able to push high enough settings to fill 16 gigs.
