What's the appeal of a RTX 5060 Ti (8GB) in 2025
>>106232858 (OP)8GB cards are for turdies in the big 2K25
>>106232858 (OP)to play games on. not everyone is an AI porn pedo
>>106233291A game that needs a 50 series card to run is going to be shit on only 8gb of VRAM, lots of texture pop-in or weird lag spikes depending on the game. And if you’re just playing indie titles, you don’t need a 50 series, pick up something second hand
>>106232858 (OP)it's a waste of money
the 16 gb is the only one worth buying, and is nearly the same price
honestly the 8 gb version is more or less a scam product
>>106233454this, nvidia is gonna be forced to increase the vram on it's comsumer cards, but that will cannibalize their hpc/ai cards
>>106232858 (OP)1080p gayming set on auto--settings. Most of its demographic will not care nor notice the difference.
>>106233672Nvidia shareholders: "ROFL, nope"
>>10623374>take a 1000$ consumer card, increase vram, put a better heatsink, and sell it for 10,000$It's only because of their de facto monopoly thanks to cuda that they are allowed to do that.
They are literally printing money out of this situation.
>>106233672anon... i... do NOT look up nvidia revenue by market sector
>>106232858 (OP)It's better than a 6gb rtx 2060.
>>106235172how are they allowed to do that? there's is literally no competition, and even competitors that spent billions in manufacturing can't compete due to software limitations. Why can't everyone just focus on using and improving the already existing apis, like opencl and openacc? Even intel and amd are trying to compete against each others on the gpu hpc market while they don't even come close to nvidia.
There's always a use case. This would be for someone upgrading from e.g. a 3060 or older while only having a poverty screen aka 1080p. ARC actually works better for this usecase, especially on the budget and pricing front, but being a new player and not having matured drivers just yet makes it a shakier prospect.
scamming people into buy prebuilts
same way amd does
>>106232858 (OP)8GB should be enough for everyone.
