Overview

• Independent benchmarks show the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB averages 13% lower FPS and 21% slower frametimes compared to the 16 GB variant.
• Four out of 27 tested games were deemed unplayable on the 8 GB model, with severe performance degradation or crashes in modern AAA titles.
• The 8 GB card's reliance on only 8 PCIe lanes exacerbates performance issues when VRAM is exhausted, particularly on older PCIe 4.0 systems.
• While priced €50 lower than the 16 GB version, the 8 GB model's limitations outweigh its cost savings, especially for future gaming demands.
• ComputerBase strongly advises a minimum of 12 GB VRAM for new gaming GPUs to ensure performance and future-proofing in modern titles.
