I just realized (yeah, I know, I'm slow) that if that memory configuration is true, the 5060 will come again with a paltry 128-bit bus and either an insuffcient 8GB of VRAM or 16GB that won't do anything because the chip won't hav eenough memory bandwidth to take advantage of it. After all, we know Nvidia isn't going to use the newer and expensive GDDR7 on such lower parts. So yeah, for those that want more memory, AMD may be the only one to bring it. And we'll see if they do or not. ***stares at the equally crippled 7600 8GB & 7600XT 16GB cards***
Anyone thinks this card will be good? Because this late in the cycle and likely aimed only for China, it doesn't look like it will bring much to the table.
It' not good, obviously, but it's not the end of the world.
It's your lizzard brain. ***New is better. Need to have better*** If money isn't an issue, and it wouldn't surprise me if the card costs $2k, or if your gaming experience is held back because of your GPU, then why not? Get one if you want. Enjoy it. But, unless your 4090 is limiting you in any way, you won't really notice the upgrade. There's a reason why those that can afford it upgrade every couple of generations, so they can notice the performance increase they're paying for. **Edit** Of course, that comment loses some of its value coming from a guy that still uses the card he got in 2016, so take it with perspective. |
I think you are 100% correct. On paper the 5090 is way more powerful but I can run most games maxed 4k dlss quality at 80 to 120 fps. So real world tangible benefits are null. Especially since 4k vs 4k quality look identical to me and my TV maxes at 120 hz.
