NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 to feature 3840 CUDA cores, 150W TGP and 8GB GDDR7 memory

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti spec leak: 4608 CUDA and 16/8GB GDDR7, RTX 5050 with 2560 CUDA and 8GB GDDR6

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-spec-leak-4608-cuda-and-16-8gb-gddr7-rtx-5050-with-2560-cuda-and-8gb-gddr6

With 4608 cores, the 5060Ti is around 2/3 of the 5070 and not a big improvement over the 4060Ti that had 4352 cores. Unless Nvidia clocks it very high, I think it's going to be another disappointment. But maybe it will be able to beat the 3060Ti in every test, unlike its predecessor.

The 5060 has a bigger increase in core count, but those 8GB will stop it from doing much at anything above 1080p.

And even then I expect by end of this year alone that many new releases won't even run without reducing settings due to only having 8GB VRAM.

Just as a side note, AMD's first 8GB GPU was the R9 290X in late 2014, while the first 8GB NVidia GPUs were the 1070 and 1080 cards in 2016... though the Titan X leapfrogged 8GB and went straight to 12GB in early 2015. In other words, it's been 10 years now, it's high time those VRAM amounts are discontinued.

And here NVidia actually has a potential ace up their sleeve: GDDR7 and their chips with an uneven amount of Gbit of memory. Meaning that with the same amount of chips, they could do 12GB cards later down the line for the 5060 and 5060Ti.
