NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti to feature 16GB VRAM, RTX 5060 reportedly sticks to 8GB

If true, then once again we have a situation where 60 class gets stuck with 8GB of vram and by this point, it's basically impossible to recommend it unless it's in the sub $200 price range which I doubt it will be. So Intels B580 just might have free reign but lets see if Radeon has something different up their sleeve.

GeForce RTX 5070 Ti reportedly features 16GB GDDR7 memory and GB203-300 GPU

While good for the 5070 Ti as 4070 Ti originally launched with 12GB which was terrible for it's price, this likely means the 5070 will continue to have 12GB which is really lame. Ideally 5070 Ti and 5070 should have 16GB while 5060 Ti and 5060 should have 12GB. But alas, Nvidia likes their upsell.

So in short, apart from the 5090 going to 32GB, all the card retain the same memory config as their current-gen (Super) predecessors. 5060 with 8GB is basically Waste Of Sand™, the 5050 not much better and the 5070 with it's higher performance will soon run into the same problem. The two best products apart from the hideously expensive 5090 seem to be both Ti cards to me.

Well, here in Luxembourg there are only 2 B580 cards "available" (as in both are sold out), and it's two ASRock cards, Challenger and Steel Legend, sold for 329€ and 339€ respectively.

For comparison, the 7600 is available starting at 285€, the RTX 4060 for 309€, the 7600XT for 359€, the 4060Ti for 400€ and the 7700XT for 440€. This also makes the 7700XT a bad buy right now since the 7800XT is now available for 489€, so less than 50€ extra over the 7700XT

However, I feel like the prices outside of the 7800XT and 7900XT (729€) are currently inflated somewhat due to the holidays, so January might bring in a clearer picture. The latter two being still down in price might be an indication that AMD wants to clear it's warehouses for the upcoming 8800 card, which would directly compete with both of them. 

I see. Your 4060's seem notably lower than what I'm able to find them for here.
And it seems your alternate versions of B580 may also be notably marked up, like they generally are here. (Besides that one store I was able to find)

The 4060 and 4060Ti dropped 30-40€ over the last couple weeks. Probably NVidia still has too many in stock and needs to get rid of them to make space for their new 50 series cards.
