RTX 5060

It is the same bullshit. They had to agree with Nvidia on doing that, or they wouldn't get access to pre-release drivers.

pcgamer.com/hardware/live/news/nvidia-rtx-5060-review-doing-it-live/

I've had an RTX 5060 sat on my desk for the past few weeks, as MSI has been happy to oblige us with the hardware, however, no vendor has been allowed to give us access to drivers in order for those pre-release cards to actually function as intended. I mean, I've just been using mine as a paperweight.

But not all media has been blocked. Over the weekend, multiple sites had strictly controlled previews go live for the new RTX 5060 GPU, and those sites have had drivers ahead of time, and will have reviews going live for the embargo of 2pm today. Some of those sites are from the Future family of which we are part, yet it seems PC Gamer, and potentially Tom's Hardware, have been singled out as publicatio non grata for this launch.

just buy a used one you mongoloid. Get something from the 4000 series, or you can stop eating shit and get yourself an AMD gpu. Anything from the 7000series will be a major improvement for you.

And the laptop version of this piece of garbage will be the best selling GPU of its generation again, just like the 4060 mobile. Don't bother going up a tier either, the 5070 mobile is 8 GB too.

Probably never, the AI rush shows no signs of slowing down and Nvidia is prioritizing companies over gaming GPUs. AMD just does Nvidia - $50 so you have to pray Intel does something big.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the price keeps increasing just to gatekeep commoners from using AI in the future.

Pricing is stable, fucked but stable.

Friendly reminder that pc gamers with self-respect do not buy Njudean GPUs in 2025. You have 2 other companies you can resort to.

buy a used one

I have a hard time trusting used goods

Maybe I'll just say fuck it and get a 5070 since its the only card that isn't WAY over msrp

In Europe, 5070 ti got pretty cheap recently, in some cases below MSRP.
Most likely because they had to shit out a lot of GPUs before the tariffs to America, but they backed down on PC components

Maybe I'll just say fuck it and get a 5070 since its the only card that isn't WAY over msrp

There are no GPUs worth buying at their current price, if you want to keep your card for long get at least 16GB model.
Once the new cucksoles come out hardware requirements will skyrocket yet again.

tfw future proofed for 10 years with a 4080

If you view the GPU market through the prism of youtube reviewers and tech sites, the RTX 5060 makes no sense.

8gb vram isn't enough nowadays!

it should be $200 at most!

Well how stupid must they be to go against the genius tech reviewers! But the GPU market isn't made up of tech reviewers and informed consumers. It's made up of people who need a new computer and need it now and within a certain price range. They don't know or care that it has 8GB of VRAM. They care if the computer can run games. And this card can.

But it needs upscaling!

They don't know what that is

They'll get stuttering!

They don't notice or care

You have to play on low!

They don't know or care.

Nowadays you download a game and open it and the game automatically detects your setup and optimises settings based on that. Then it runs. Most games do not need over 8GB of VRAM and those that so can get around it with fiddling the settings, which is automatic. So the customer is happy.

Should they be happy? No. Are they happy? Yes actually.

Thanks chanGPT.

Wrote it all by myself actually.

play at 1080p

never fuck with settings and let god sort things out

that's basically the target audience, yeah. they'll buy a $800-$900 prebuilt and have fun. they don't know what the funny numbers even really mean.

managed to get 5080 at near MSRP

realized I have nothing left to play that really demand it

I already played monhun wild and dd2 in silky smooth 15 fps
what are some unoptimized games these days?

You retarded nigger monkey faggot we already know that framegen is a scam from the start of the year when the other cards dropped
They're so insecure about card performance that they're going back 2-3 generations to make it seem good

so it's realistically 18% better than a 3060? isn't that like, pathetic for a card that's supposed to be 2 generations newer?

the oblivion remaster is the new big one. the 5090 can't even get 60fps on that son of a bitch.

at this point why don't they just say there's a million fake frames since it's all shi anyways

benchmark

btw 4x of the frames are fake and not actual real performance

I hate this shit so much its unreal

what about the 5050?

Just pick almost any UE5 game.

That's the next step, no rendered frames only AI frames.

Realistically a 3060 will be faster than a 5060 in games that use more than 8 GB VRAM (any new game with textures on high or ultra)

When the fuck are GPU prices going to stabilize?

until a new stronger contestant comes out never, why would they reduce the price tag and in turn reduce profit if people are buying anyway

I bet if you "power scale" this GPU by comparing to previous gens, it should've been called 5030. I'm never buying Nvidia again.

You wouldn't ever buy something this shite but Nvidia is kind of forcing it because older gen cards that are 100% better options like the 4070 super are in low supply or cost more than they should be

how long is a GPU supposed to last you?

A console generation

I stayed on a 1050 ti for 7 years, so at least physically they should last you 5+ years before running into structural problems. I only changed to a 4070 super by choice, I still have the 1050 ti in my closet and was working fine last time I used it

until it stops working

but I really need to play the latest quadruple a games

no you don't

as long as you want and have something to look forward to?
say to power a better monitor or a game you want to play or to play existing games at higher qualities and frames
you don't upgrade out of obligation but out of desire

I'm still rocking a 980Ti, so until you need better, I guess.

mine always last 5+ years no problem, my hard drives were always the first things to go in the past but with ssds i think those last a lot longer. i've had no issues with my (yet) anyway.

is the 5070 as bad as people are claiming? i need a new card soon and was thinking of getting it. it's 300 bucks cheaper than the 5070ti and the standard 9070 where i live.

I've had a 1080 Ti since 2017.
I recently upgraded to a 9070XT, mostly to play FF7 Rebirth, and moved the 1080Ti to a second PC.
I guess the 9070 will last until about 2030, when either the 16 GB VRAM won't be enough or some games will start to require neural shaders which only Blackwell supports atm.

If you want to game at 1080p, it's a fine card. If you want to game at 1440p then it's probably not lasting 3 years before you're playing at low on 1440p or at medium or high on 1080p.

I think this is the only gen in which the absolutely most expensive model is the only one that is worth it. Every other 50 series cars has been really bad.

12gb

Performance is mediocre and it won't last long with that VRAM, I'd rather buy something better second hand.

It's not terrible, but there will most likely be a 5070 Super with 18 GB VRAM in less than a year.

Don't but new GPU that have 8GB because they are on the edge of becoming outdated. Right now the minimum requirement for many games is 6GB with some support of RT hardware aka the RTX 2060. Anything less than this will make some games literally unplayable. But even when playing it's 30fps with sub 30fps 1% low

Nvidia doesn't care about gaming anymore
server infrastructure and AI is where the money is now

1060 peak

remember the 3gb version? lmao

Would you buy this for $1499 Canadian?

5070 is just 4070S v2. It's barely faster than 3080 5 years later, this sucks.
If AyyMD didn't pull fake prices for their RDNA4 cards I would tell you to get 9070XT instead but we can't have nice things.

They'll still gladly milk the gamercattle for all they're worth.

and? myself and literally everyone else will still buy nvidia. being shady doesn't mean everyone will move on to a temu version version of nvidia (amd) just for the sake of it. nvidia does this because they're winning and will continue winning.

is the 5070 as bad as people are claiming?

The performance uplifts of 50xx cards compared to 40xx cards are pathetic, that's why people don't like the cards. 5090 is basically just a 4090 Super with 1.5x power draw, 5080 is a 4080 Super with 1.5x power draw, 5070 Ti is a 4070 Ti Super, 5070 doesn't even outperform a 4070 Super, etc. But if you're upgrading from a much older gen like the 10xx series, 50xx cards aren't bad if you can find them at MSRP.

So realistically the GPU options in the current year are:

Low Budget - 3060 12 gig
Mid Budget - Lmao get fucked
High Budget - 9070xt/5070ti

that cpu will fuck you up. seriously it's too weak even for the 5060 ti. your cpu would shit itself up even in lightweight games like cyberpunk with the minimal RT turned on. make no mistake the 5060 ti can absolutely do RT, even PT, at 1080p. its just a terrible cpu and youd have to swap it out asap.

lol

I know a guy who bought that, I really advised him against doing it.

Arc B580 is a viable alternative to a 3060 12 GB.
Mid tier would be 9060XT 16 GB or 5060Ti 16 GB.

the 3060 isn't gonna last much longer, the new console gen in 2 years will make it worthless in the blink of an eye. the next console gen gimmick is most likely going to be fake frames. probably multiframe gen too so i think it's going to be a leap that really fucks over people on older hardware.

god bless independent games journalism

Should've gotten a 4070 super or 4070 ti super when you had the chance.

Arc B580 is a viable alternative

only if you dont go back to old games (dx11 era and before) and dont emulate.
it's quite a tough pill to swallow imo.

9060 XT is inherently going to be overpriced now because of the 9070 XT being so good, people will buy it on name alone

so you're a literal NPC? cool. I mean, i don't disagree with your post per se, i just dont see the point/purpose of it, you're a bot irl and likely barely qualify for midwit status.

~4-5 years roughly. Upgrade every third generation if you're low income, 4 generations if you're a poorfaggot, and only when it dies if you're a turd worlder.

i would say yes, but literally replace the SSD with something else. Teamgroup drives are dogshit.

fixed;
Low Budget - buy used 4060ti16gig/6700xt
Mid Budget - buy used 6900xt/7800xt, maybe a 9070/9060XT
High Budget - buy 9070xt if you have self respect, 5080/5090 if you're filthy paypig soicattle.

No, I hate RGB.
I don't think buying old AM4 platform makes any sense.
Leaf prices are fucked so good luck.

why ever 9070 xt? no dlss. limited fsr4 and it still isnt good (propped up by the sharpening). paying premium price for relatively shit product. still no ray reconstruction so RT will look like ass even if it can run rt games. its only a card that looks good on paper and u will never have a premium experience with it despite blowing 800-900 bucks on a single piece of hardware.

Not everyone values raytracing and upscaling

It also had 2/3 the MSRP of the 6gb version, and I think back then MSRP was more meaningful. It wasn't a bad deal considering that, though it has aged a *lot* worse than the 6gb as expected.

It wasn't a great deal for me though because I got it in a prebuilt that was all things considered overpriced in retrospect, though the 1060 being the 3gb version was only part of it.

RTX4060 8GB

idk I've been using a 5600 with a 4070 super and its been mostly fine, there's obviously better options but anything 'X' is probably 80% there to what you need for most of these cards. You're not doing that much anyway with a 5070 ti if you don't use the multi frame gen or AI features

3060 is outdated, just get an intel B580.

intel B580.

outdated on launch
just get a used 4060ti like the other anon said
IF the price is right, in my shithole they're basically the same as a new 5060ti

youtu.be/3KSLyDeJ_Hg?t=210
Holy fuck the b580 is even worse than i thought

botw

yuzu

30 fps cap

gpu utilization almost maxed out

that's like a 1050 Ti performance and you would likely encounter visual glitches during a longplay

Realistically, 7 years. But ideally, 15 years, at least. The last breakthrough in graphics which is actually good and not gimicky is physically based rendering.

nice autosage jannies

can't emulate

struggles playing old games

I will never have interest in Intel ARC in this case, I'm not dick riding every new slop game

It's some 20% quicker than the Arc B580 at 1080p

Champion.

They should release a very anemic 5050 with 24gb of VRAM just to crap on everyone.

New bestseller. All the slop genners will buy it.

What's the point of expensive GDDR7?
Why can't we just get a lot of cheap GDDR6 non X memory on the lower end?
Also, AMDs entire line IS GDDR6, why the does an 8gb model even exist?

Planned obsolescence. It's not primarily about the cost of the memory but to ensure you need to upgrade again when games for the next gen of consoles (those without crossgen release) get released for PC, optimized for maybe 32GB of shared video/system memory of that console gen.

limited fsr4

retarded comment, every game can use FSR4 with some modding via an optiscaler.

I don't expect a low iq idiot to understand the concept of having integrity when making important purchasing decisions. I wouldnt buy a car if the factory that makes them launches drones to kill kids in the gaza strip, for example.

Its why i dont buy intel-aviv components, and considering that Nvidia treats the pc gaming community like a mafia gang treats a local deli, you'll only ever see me recommend a Njudean gpu for people with loads of money to burn on a flagship, and people who need to do production work.

you wanna be the guy in the cuckstation? keep buying Nvidia.

every game can use fsr4

wow sounds great!

github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki/FSR4-Compatibility-List

just install a specific nightly version and hope that it doesnt screw up the support in the rest of the games

you will need linux for some cases

fsr4 will not look good in most of the cases

meanwhile dlss:

it just works

can hotswap dlls if feeling zesty

can force specific presets through nvpi or their own driver software

no mods on the verge of breaking are required

amdfags in shambles. pay 900 bucks to get anally gaped lmao.
