It would run a 5060 ti, but its worth looking at the RX 9060 XT 16GB if you can get it for its $350 msrp, most of the speed of a 5060 TI, for much less. I would also recommend doubling your RAM to 32GB, 16GB can be a limitation in some newer games.Hi there any help or advice would be great,,thinking of upgrading my gpu,, i have a prime a520m motherboard a 5600 g processor 16 gig of ram and a 12 gig rtx 3060,,,looking for some advide was looking at the 5060 ti ??? would my rig run it and is it worth the upgrade,,thanks
It doesn't really make much of a difference currently, even for an RTX 5090 the performance difference is only 4%.Why would you put a PCIe5 card in PCIe3 motherboard?
Whoever has the money for a 5090, is not pairing it with an old motherboard and CPU, and even so the real difference can be seen in low end cards. In the video above, they paired the 8GB and 16GB 9060XT with a 9800X3D and a 8700K. The 16GB model didn't lose much performance but for the 8GB model it made a world of difference.It doesn't really make much of a difference currently, even for an RTX 5090 the performance difference is only 4%.

Its more of an issue for a few years from now when people are flipping their 4090's and 5090's for 6090's, 7090's or RX 10900's, 11900's, and those older cards might find themselves in a mixed generation machine. Or if someone inserts it into the wrong slot on a motherboard, like a slot thats x16 physically but x4 or x8 electrically.Whoever has the money for a 5090, is not pairing it with an old motherboard and CPU, and even so the real difference can be seen in low end cards.
