An In-Depth Look at Nvidia’s Latest Graphics Card

Nvidia has introduced its new graphics card, the RTX 5060 Ti, available in two memory configurations: 8GB and 16GB GDDR7. While their technical specifications appear similar on paper, the practical differences between these models can be substantial. Let’s delve into a detailed review of the RTX 5060 Ti and how its 8GB and 16GB versions perform.

Comparing GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and 8GB

The RTX 5060 Ti is powered by the GB206-300-A1 chip, featuring a 28 Gbps GDDR7 memory configuration. It boasts a base clock speed of 2,407 MHz and a boost clock of 2,572 MHz, alongside 4,608 CUDA cores, 48 ROPs, 144 TMUs, and operates on a 128-bit memory bus. The card’s Thermal Graphics Power (TGP) is 180W.

When it comes to real-world performance, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB version lags significantly behind its 16GB counterpart, particularly in demanding AAA titles like The Last of Us Part II, Final Fantasy XIV, Hogwarts Legacy, and Horizon Forbidden West. In some cases, the performance gap can be as wide as 500 percent, which is a fivefold difference. For instance:

In The Last of Us Part II at 1440p using DLSS on Very High settings, the FPS difference can be as stark as 589%.
During the Horizon Forbidden West test, the 16GB model comfortably achieves 68 FPS whereas the 8GB variant struggles at just 16 FPS.
With Hogwarts Legacy, the 8GB version nearly becomes unplayable under intense graphics settings.

Conclusion

Overall, it’s evident that 8GB of memory is becoming a bottleneck, especially for graphics-intensive AAA games released in 2024 and beyond. While the difference is minimal for eSports-focused and less memory-demanding titles, the disparity becomes pronounced at higher resolutions like 1440p and 4K, which are becoming increasingly popular among gamers.
