8GB and 16GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPUs listed
Nvidia appears to be building two GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU variants, and one of them isn’t good enough
According to new listings with the European Economic Commission (EEC), MaxSun has revealed two possible configurations for Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards. 8GB and 16GB GPU models are listed, suggesting that Nvidia will give gamers the same VRAM options as their last-generation RTX 4060 Ti series GPUs.
In their EEC listing, MasSun has listed various Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti iCraft designs. Based on Nvidia’s other RTX 50 series designs and these EEC listings, it is probable that Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti GPU has a 128-bit memory bus and will support GDDR7 memory. This change will give Nvidia’s new RTX 5060 Ti GPU a large increase in memory bandwidth. Regardless, Nvidia’s 8GB GPU model will suffer in many modern games, as many new PC releases benefit from having access to more VRAM.
In our eyes, Nvidia is making a mistake by launching an 8GB RTX 5060 Ti model. We know that 3GB GDDR7 chips exist. Those chips make a 12GB RTX 5060 Ti GPU model viable with a 128-bit memory bus. We already know what reviewers and gamers will think of the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB and 16GB. The 8GB model will have too little VRAM for many games. Furthermore, the 16GB model will carry too much of a pricing premium. The latter will lead many to tell gamers to save up some more money and buy an RTX 5070.

If Nvidia’s considering an 8GB RTX 5060 Ti GPU model, they need to reanalyse the needs of gamers. The mid-range GPU market is begging for products that can deliver a strong value proposition, and a 12GB RTX 5060 Ti could be that product. If Nvidia wants to avoid negativity, they shouldn’t release another 8GB RTX XX60 Ti-class product.
