Nvidia just announced that the GeForce RTX 5060 will hit shelves on May 19 starting at $299. It succeeds the GTX 1060/RTX 3060 line, adds DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation—but still ships with 8 GB of VRAM amid ongoing supply shortages.<p>I’m curious:
Will this price point and feature set finally revive mainstream PC builds?
Is 8 GB of VRAM still enough for today’s 1080p/1440p gaming?<p>Looking forward to benchmarks and your early impressions once cards start rolling out!
HN isn'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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKjKMsEVBIU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/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.
