NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

That 8GB 5060 Ti is DOA already, it's ridiculous as it has plenty of power for 4K gaming, but it's completely crippled by that stupidly low frame buffer. Nvidia should do the right thing and just pull the 8GB card ASAP.

lol the 5060ti 8gb can't even run Indiana jones at 1080p without crashing, never mind 4k. The 16gb model gets a cool 90fps at 1080p, but the 8gb just crashes

I've been saying it for ages but now it's finally hammering home that if you want to play modern games with at least the same graphics as consoles then you need to have the same memory as consoles, that means 12GB+ vram. If you're gonna buy a GPU with less than 12GB then just be prepared that you won't be able to play games with console graphics. I've been saying this since RTX3000 launched

The 8gb 5060ti is still ok if you're gonna play counter strike, mine craft and fortnight etc but just don't expect to be able to play GTA6 and Witcher 4

"Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking the 5060Ti can't or shouldn't be used for 4K gaming as we've just saw with enough vram it absolutely can"

As a card for 1080p gaming I can understand it, there is no harm having the option and saving some money.
I think people are over-reacting

People who buy the 8GB model for 4K gaming deserve to have performance problems for being so stupid

even has issues at 1080 as shown, its a card that shouldnt even be on the market, its just another example of nvidia giving gamers the finger. but what is madness is some are saying its a decent card, thats just insane, and shows some would even buy a turd in a bag from the green team, basically giving nvidia the green light to continue giving us rubbish like this

Exactly, the number of games it had issues with at 1080p was not insignificant and even upscaling didn’t help. To assume “it’s a decent 1080p card” is not backed by evidence at all.

Nvidia are taking the pee at this price bracket.

If you were at all conspiratorially-minded, you might notice that the 8GB 5060 Ti has resulted the only positive statements about the 16GB model, which had previously had almost uniform negative coverage.
 
So im really confused here , absolutey everything is running as it should , avergae score on Steel Nomad , Cyberpunk running maxed at full 4K at 120 FPS and anything else i care to throw at it on full tilt.

However my 1000W Corsair RM1000E now connected via the 12V connector to 4X 8 PCI E cables to the PSU is showing a really low power draw ?

Though i might need a new PSU but looks like im good to go ! Any ideas ?

Why are people saying this game cant run on 8GB card @ 1080p? It runs on a 8GB 3850....

Click to expand...

In this video they never test Ultra settings, they seem to be testing low settings, Ultra settings run at 90fps on the 16GB 5060ti and cause the game to crash on the 8gb 5060ti

If you want more evidence here is Daniel owen's video that shows the same thing - the game instantly crashes on a 8gb 4060ti

But isn't that why there is an option to turn settings down? So if your card cannot run it at full settings, you can turn down some graphics options to still enjoy the game?

I'm not saying the 5060ti 8GB/16GB are good cards and I'm not arguing about their value because all GPUs are over-priced at the moment, there is no good value card. Not even one!! I just think people are over reacting a tad, because if you wanna play max settings you don't buy the cheapest card in the stack. It's common sense, or at least it should be, that if you wanna play the latest games with maximum settings you need to buy a card further up and it's going to cost more. 8GB cards are starting to struggle, especially trying to run max settings, but that doesn't mean they don't have a place.

I see a lot of 8GB 3060's and 3070's selling on the MM... So there is obviously a market for 8GB cards. I also know quite a few people who play games roughly 5 years behind who again would not have issues with 8GB
The issue is the pricing, not the amount of vram being offered.
 
Why should anyone have to turn settings down?. The 5060 Ti 16GB has been proven to run all the way up to 4K just fine as it has the power to do so, the 8GB version is the exact same bloody chip, but it can't run properly due to the VRAM being far too low.

The 5060 Ti is faster than 8GB versions of the 3000 series equivalent, but with a much faster card you naturally crank the settings way up, even in older games because the hardware can run it fine. But because it can't fit data into VRAM without crashing or having the performance absolutely tank it's now a very crippled card, all because Nvidia are just being really greedy. 8GB cards in this class should not exist in 2025.

It would be like releasing a 5090 class card with 8GB, yes it can render everything without issues, but the low VRAM would absolutely cripple it once you crank up the settings, this is what Nvidia has done, they've given you a fast card, but you can't make use of it.

Can you not crank all the settings except texture quality?

The 8GB version is cheaper as well is it not?

Nobody is forcing anyone to buy the 8GB, but if you set your expectations accordingly regarding texture settings and want to save some money then that's up to the individual.

Check if all the cables are fully inserted, they're stiff so it can be easy to think they're in when they're not. If a sense pin doesn't detect an 8pin is connected it won't ask the PSU for as much power.
