News Maxsun RTX 5060 Ti EEC filings show 8GB, 16GB models — 2016 wants its VRAM capacity back

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
Aside from the 5090, this generation really just seems like a second round of RTX40 Supers.

If this were a true generational leap, the 5080 beating the 4090 would be a given. Heck, prior to RTX40, even the XX70 cards would always beat the previous flagship.
 
Not really sure who feels cultish about it. People with extra spending money and into PC gaming will buy it, same as always. Remember the Star Wars edition cards? The Titan Xp? The Titan Z?

I am okay with a 5080 existing as a replacement to the 4080 Super, not like there was a massive node shrink this time. It would be nice if they knocked $100 off at least. 5070 for $550 is cool for now, $500 later maybe. 5070 Ti for $750, I think it should be $700 and the 5080 dropped to $900.

As it sits like 20% more GPU for 33% more money. $700 to $900 would put it at least at roughly the right price/performance difference.

But they probably know exactly how much profit they can extract at $1000, and reduced sales are likely offset by the increased price.

Still better than 4080 at $1200, I suppose.

In 2016 the RX 480 offered 4 and 8 GB variants and the GTX 1060 offered 3 and 6 GB variants. A 5060 Ti offering 8 and 16 GB is disappointing but it's hardly 2016.

This. At least the option for more VRAM exists at all. The 3060 Ti was ONLY available with 8 GB VRAM. I wish my 4070 Ti had the option for more VRAM; being limited to 12 GB has been unfortunate at times. I would have definitely appreciated having the ability to double that for $100 more.

I understand wanting more VRAM, but 2016 is a huge exaggeration. Why are we whining about 16 GB of VRAM anyway? That’s plenty for 5060Ti level performance.

So.... what exactly did people expect with a 128 bit memory interface?

That can only be either 4 or 8 GDRAM chips and 16Gb is the largest size currently. Like did people really expect nVidia to break physics and invent a time machine?
 
Is this an editorial posting or a new post? Why would a site even post an opinion like that in the title of a news post? Just report the news in a news post. Leave the opinions to the comment section. It doesn't even make sense in this case. If there's a 16GB option, which definitely isn't 2016, why complain about the 8 GB option? Are we now against offering cheaper options?

5060ti 8GB just sounds hilarious in 2025. There just be great margins on the 3060 12GB the way Nvidia keeps purposely protecting its place as the budget AI experimentation card of choice.

Maybe bring back 192 but bus width back hell my old 2060 super is 256

192-bit is the 70 class GPU, six / twelve chips.
256-bit is the 80 class GPU, eight / sixteen chips.

This has been nVidia's product tier since the 40 series.

In the 30xx series the 60 class was originally 128-bit along with the 50 class and it's LP version being 96-bit. Later a 60 class was released with a 192-bit bus.

I expect there to be a "Super" released once Samsung has it's 24Gb GDDR7 modules available.

the 3060 gen is a bit of a crap and for starters

so to start um that is completely false about the 3060 came out in 2021 with a 192 bit bus
on a 106 chip full die. 192 bit.

they were changed to ga104-150 dies later on a 192 bit bus in september of 2021.

the 3060 128 bit bus 8gb came out in october of 2022. which is infact a 3050 ti ( real) masquerading as a 3060 as its on the same 106 die as the 3050 ti but on a lower bus.

the current 3050 ti is a 3050 pretending to be a bigger player then it is. and the 3050 is a 3040.

at least thats how it should have went.

Again none of that refutes my point.

Are you expecting nVidia to have invented a time machine or are you just fake angry that they are using the same product layout since 40 series?

I mean you could organize a team of crack ninja squirrels to rappel into nVidia HQ and force Jensen to cancel the 50 series launch.
 
Only way to stop this madness is stoping buying GPU from nvidia... but they don't care because they make billions with enterprise market... they don't care about gaming market.
AMD droop the ball with RDNA4 because they move to enterprise too...
The only company right now can save us is the intel... The mostly Greed and evil one...


We are so F!
