Insane to me how stingy Nvidia is with VRAM. Feels particularly pernicious by now.I didn't think they'd have the gall to sell an 8GB 5060, but here we are. I hope it bombs hard.
Nah, FOH with them 8GB. They're selling a 5050 with a 5060 sticker. I bet it's a piece of shit like 15% faster than the already underwhelming 4060.No 12gb option? Ok, let's see prices.
Priced accordingly? I bet it's 4494060TI 16gb version is the only one that matters, if priced accordingly.
Besides the 5090, so far every card has been cheaper. Plus, pricing it at $450 puts it far too close to the 5070 they will inevitably have to discount by around $50 to make room for the 5070 Super. I think $450 for the 16GB model and $350 for the 8GB one. $250-300 for the 3060.Priced accordingly? I bet it's 449
VRAM isn't free.Why are they so stingy with the VRAM? Cunts.
Literally the most popular line of Nvidia. The ones paying more than $500 on a gpu are the special cases.Nobody asked for this shit...
NVIDIA should can the XX50 and XX60 cards in the future.
No 12gb option? Ok, let's see prices.
This.8GB on a GPU in 2025 is just stupid and insulting.
It was already way too low a year ago with the 4060.8GB GPU in 2025?
I'm not even a PC gamer and even I know that's way too low.
This isn't entirely true. Consoles use unified memory sort of like what phones, and the newer Apple devices use versus a gaming PC which uses separate RAM and VRAM.The xbox one x from 2017 has a 384 bit bus and 12gb of vram....don't waste money on this crap....at least the 4060 had a low watt card that could fit in htpc/office pcs rtx 5000 is a complete joke and 16gb of vram on the 5060 ti with a 128 bus is a slap in the face
The good thing is...this card will be actually "available to buy".It was already way too low a year ago with the 4060.
Now it's just a joke.
If it was <$200, whatever, but this is Nvidia.It was already way too low a year ago with the 4060.
Now it's just a joke.
I mean it probably will be in the same way that if I look at my local Microcenter I can walk in and buy a 5070 still as well because nobody wants them.The good thing is...this card will be actually "available to buy".![]()

I believe the Xbox One X had 12GB of RAM but only 9 was used for games, which is still more then the 5060 but memory numbers in consoles and PCs are different.
My Trident 9440 had that. I got it from 512kb to amazing 1mb. Bullfrog's Hi-Octane framerate jumped to a solid 60fps.This is kinda silly but imagine AMD actually making VRAM removable and upgradable like regular system RAM. I realize how impractical it is to implement but it would be hilarious if they sprang that on the market without warning at EXACTLY a time like this.
I've explained this before but it's usually one of the best selling cards nvidia will make due to price. PC gaming got big within the last few years and those people who recently started jumping in will play games on 900p low if it means the game runs at a stable frame rate (if that). As long as those people continue to allow 8GBs of VRAM to sell, nvidia doesn't see a need to not sell it.I didn't think they'd have the gall to sell an 8GB 5060, but here we are. I hope it bombs hard.
Yeah that's gonna take off like a lead balloon!
Also true. Lol. Can't wait for all the complaints about lazy devs not optimizing their games.Historically the dumbest fucking low end choice is the one dominating charts so I wouldn't be so sure about that. Cheaper wins out over logic.
Cropped image, 720p, dithering, sub-30fps, yeah looks about right.Console users:
