Ask HN: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 arrives May 19 at $299 revive PC builds?

HN isn&#x27;t really interested in these types of topics, but no it already looks like the 5060 card is one to avoid like the plague.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=QKjKMsEVBIU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=QKjKMsEVBIU</a>

I am playing in 1080p and so far 4060 Ti with 16 GB of VRAM seems like a good enough purchase. Very few games out there provide graphics good enough to warrant a higher priced card and 16GB means I should be fine running many of the generative AI models out there, even if it is a bit slow. I actually wanted to grab a 4070 but at the time I was buying the card there were no 16GB models available.<p>I would love to support AMD but I am not paying for a decade of total negligence of GPGPU.

I would finally like to be able to use my ultrawide monitor lol, I hope its cheap. Its been sitting there since 2020 and I have been primarily running macos but.

DOA on arrival. 8GB is not sufficient for AAA moving forward.<p>12GB is minimum to go for, and 16GB preferably if any longevity is expected.<p>Competing products are likely better options.

8GB of VRAM just doesn’t cut it for new AAA games, and the 5000 series had a bunch of driver issues, which kind of kills its main advantage over the 9060 or B580

What’s the use of these GPUs if you don’t care about gaming?

9060 or B580 are probably better value.
