Plainly Nvidia is about to observe an analogous strategy to the RTX 4060 Ti launch by providing the upcoming RTX 5060 Ti in two configurations: 8GB and 16GB fashions. This info comes from a latest itemizing on the Eurasian Financial Fee (EEC) web site, noticed by @Olrak29_ (X previously Twitter) which moreover confirms that the usual RTX 5060 will launch in a single configuration that includes 8GB of VRAM.
Nvidia is but to substantiate the existence of the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti, however it’s anticipated that there are plans to unveil the GPUs in March. This info additionally falls consistent with a report from final month which identified comparable reminiscence configurations and the inclusion of the PG152 printed circuit board (PCB) with the GB206 GPU die.

When you bear in mind, each 16GB and 8GB variations of the RTX 4060 Ti acquired horrible suggestions as they supplied minor enhancements over the earlier technology. The RTX 5060 Ti might face an analogous reception though we’re sceptical that the transfer to GDDR7 reminiscence could present much-needed enchancment. With each variants anticipated to supply 448 GB/s of bandwidth—a 55% improve over the RTX 4060 Ti—the brand new playing cards might have a major efficiency enhance.
It’s also regarding that Nvidia will as soon as once more restrict the decrease finish of its GPU lineup to only 8GB of RAM. As identified by my colleague Jacob in his overview of the RTX 4060 Ti, trendy gaming titles are pushing their limits. Having simply 8GB of VRAM, particularly on a 128-bit reminiscence bus, could not ship the perfect ends in video games like Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle, Resident Evil 4, The Final of Us Half One, and Halo Infinite.
How a lot of an enchancment will the upcoming RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti provide over their previous-gen counterparts? There’s nonetheless a while earlier than we discover that out. Nonetheless, if we contemplate the efficiency enhancements gained by the RTX 5090 over the 4090, the brand new RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti ought to provide comparable efficiency uplifts.
