The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB currently costs more than the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 XT, and I know which one I'd pick
Graphics card prices continue to rise, with the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB now costing more than the RTX 5070 and AMD RX 9070 XT. The article highlights that the 16 GB model of the RTX 5060 Ti is priced at $780, significantly above its MSRP and other comparable cards. AMD's Radeon cards have seen more moderate price increases compared to Nvidia's offerings.
AMD is reportedly bumping the price of its GPU and VRAM bundles to graphics card makers and you can expect to feel the…
AMD is reportedly increasing the supply price of its GPU and video memory bundles to graphics card manufacturers by approximately 10% starting in July. This price hike is attributed to the ongoing memory crisis and is expected to eventually lead to higher costs for consumers, although cards already in production or retail should not be immediately affected.
If these new Nvidia RTX 50 Super series rumors are true, it could a death knell for AMD GPUs
New rumors suggest Nvidia will release a refreshed RTX 50 Super series of graphics cards with increased VRAM as early as the start of 2027. This potential lineup, including models like the RTX 5070 Super and RTX 5060 Super with 18GB and 12GB of VRAM respectively, could significantly impact AMD's market position. The increased VRAM aims to address performance limitations seen in current-generation cards with demanding titles.
The RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB punches hard for the cash, but 8 GB of VRAM does have its limits
The Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB graphics card offers strong performance for 1080p and 1440p gaming at its $380 MSRP, often outperforming the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB. However, its 8 GB of VRAM can be a limitation in certain VRAM-intensive games and at higher resolutions, causing performance drops compared to 16 GB variants. Despite this, it provides reasonable value in the current market, especially when considering its competitive pricing against AMD's offerings.
