Nvidia appears to be adopting a familiar strategy with the impending launch of the RTX 5060 Ti, planning to offer it in two versions: one with 8GB of memory and another with 16GB. This news stems from a recent entry on the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) website, identified by @Olrak29_ (X, formerly Twitter). Additionally, it has been confirmed that the standard RTX 5060 will be available only in a single configuration featuring 8GB of VRAM.
While Nvidia has not officially announced the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti, the GPUs are anticipated to debut around March. This aligns with a previous report from last month that hinted at similar memory configurations and the use of the PG152 printed circuit board (PCB) with the GB206 GPU die.
If we recall, both the 16GB and 8GB versions of the RTX 4060 Ti garnered harsh criticism for delivering only minor enhancements compared to the previous generation. The RTX 5060 Ti might face a similar fate, although the transition to GDDR7 memory could result in notable improvements. Both models are expected to provide 448 GB/s of bandwidth, marking a 55% increase over the RTX 4060 Ti, which could equate to significant performance gains.
A point of concern is Nvidia’s decision to limit the lower segment of its GPU lineup to just 8GB of RAM once again. As highlighted in a review by my colleague Jacob regarding the RTX 4060 Ti, modern gaming experiences are continually pushing boundaries. With only 8GB of VRAM, particularly on a 128-bit memory bus, the performance may fall short in titles such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Resident Evil 4, The Last of Us Part One, and Halo Infinite.
How much of a performance increase can we expect from the forthcoming RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti compared to their predecessors? It remains to be seen. However, by examining the performance enhancements observed in the RTX 5090 over the 4090, it’s reasonable to anticipate that the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti will offer a similar uplift in performance.
