- An initial product listing suggests that Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU may come soon
- Meanwhile, AI is flying in any modern GPU with 8GB video RAM (which is near RTX 5060)
- The suggestion is that the 8GB Vram is like “bringing a butter knife into a gun”, and it reflects a widespread feeling.
A recent clue suggests that, as the rumor mill already agreed, NVidia’s RTX 5060 graphics card packing 8 GB video RAM (VRAM), is now close to launch – but the feeling around the modern GPU with 8 GB has been lined by a scathing AI summit on this subject.
I will return to him later; But first, it is an indication that RTX 5060 is about to emerge Viewed by @momomo_us On X, Via videocardz,
There is no ‘buy’ button, of course, because RTX 5060 has not been released yet; You can click only to be notified when you get into stock. But the fact that the PNY board is at all (and the listing is still live, at the time of writing) suggests that the best buy this NVidia is starting to get her home for the GPU.
The PNY offer is priced at $ 299, by the way, the Aadhaar list price, and the rumor release date for RTX 5060 is May 19. It may take a little early for the work of retailer prep depending on that date, perhaps, but the work goes behind the curtain for some time before launch, and what happened here with a casual city of this special list. (If you were thinking, only one RTX 5060 board is listed).
Now on the comment from AI, the agent in question (on again X). As Tom’s hardware reportsX, Denis of Punmasterstp asked: “Hey Groke, how do you feel 8 GB about 8 GB in 2025?”
The answer came in no uncertain terms: “8GB Vram in 2025? Honestly, it is like bringing a butter knife to a gunman.” Check the full exchange below, and note that RTX 5060 TI 8 GB does not perform for scratches, stems from an article about how to scratch.
Hey @Punmasterstp, 8GB Vram in 2025? Honestly, it is like bringing a butter knife to a gunman. Modern AAA games are kissing via VRAM faster than a child with a bag of candy-especially with all those juicy high-resolution textures and ray tracing bells and whistles at 1440p or 4K.May 3, 2025
Analysis: We should listen to the grouke, and why here is
The RTX 5060 TI 8GB is a weaker sauce compared to the 16GB version of this graphics card, as it was launched by GPU NVIDIA. It is clear that various independent test runs are known by run that RTX 5060 TI 8GB is actually reduced in some cases – and so the concern is that RTX 5060, which comes in packing the same amount of VRAM, is going to suffer in the same way.
This is a proper concern, especially given that Nvidia quietly pushed the RTX 5060 TI 8 GB into the background, while playing non -CT. All online Bhavna Railings against RTX 5060 TI 8GB appear to reach close to an important mass, and it is clearly shown by the ‘Butter Knife’ of Groke on X on X.
Certainly, you can take an attitude of what AI thinks? Well, we should care all, because an AI doesn’t really think, of course – not really intelligent. These are not independent virtual ‘ideas’, but have been condensed from the web (from X, Reddit, and various other Avenues) and then condensed in a north.
Therefore, what Grocke has to say that reflects the broading opinion aired on all those social forums (and wherever AI may have extended its data to extract tentacles), which means that it is a barometer of overall spirit about 8GB video RAM on a contemporary graphics card. In short, this is not quite good right now.
The potential savings for the RTX 5060 and its 8GB memory module is that it is more attractively priced than the RTX 5060 TI with the same VRAM loadout. However, $ 300 (or equivalent in your area) is still not a budget outlay, and if the memory on-board is already a problem with some games (and with special graphics settings), what about the next year, or what is there in the life of this GPU, when PC games are still demanding more?
I expect some levels of future proofing with the purchase of graphics cards, and undoubtedly you do-and it’s a certain concern, even for more ‘inexpensive’ GPUs. (I use air quotes because let’s face it, $ 300 is still away from cheap, and as we know, third -party graphics cards essentially finish sales for more than the list value with many models, anyway).
As the Groke later says in its answer: “If you are planning a game for the next few years, without constant settings in Potato mode, 8GB is not just cutting it.”
Apparently talking about ‘potato’ mode (a reference to potato PC, a badly old and slang for the underpower rig) is going a little distance, but it is difficult to argue with the spirit – and then, it is a widespread feeling that Grake is summarizing on the web.
Meanwhile, we are surprised whether the AMD rumor will also launch the 8GB version of RX 9060 XT, another mid-range GPU is expected to appear very soon. Such suggestions have been made that an 8GB taste is coming, and it is not evenly.
The most recent gossip is that AMD really has this inbound, but it can try to effectively sideline the 9060 XT 8GB graphics card, just as NVIDIA has RTX 5060 TI 8GB.
It seems that it is possible that mid-range efforts with 8GB loadouts can be well and in fact 2025 progressed under GPU rug, but we will see.
