Nvidia retaking the top spot in sales was bound to happen sooner rather than later, but with the 5070? The worst (so far) of the 5000 cards? Really? And yes, I know it's the cheapest yet, but it's still a really bad option.

Nvidia lying sorry, misleading about its sales shows that they're in defense mode and are, in a way, desperate to show they're doing well.

And the 12GB 5060 would be a nice and very welcome surprise. It leaves the 8GB 5060Ti in a weird spot, but I don't think Nvidia will use the first 3GB memory chips on a lower class GPU, or at least not yet. We'll see.

Wouldn't be the first time they gave 60 series 12GB of vram. They gave the 3060 12GB back in Ampere days when everyone was expecting 6GB. It made the entire lineup look very strange with 3060 Ti, 3070 and even the 3080 having less Vram. Hell the laptop 3060 did come with 6GB. It's a shame the 4060 came with only 8GB. While I won't get my hopes up, I do hope the 5060 does get 12GB cause man, the 60 series need some love.

Yes, it's true that Nvidia has done some weird things with memory, but the leaks we've had so far point to a 128-bit memory bus and 8GB of VRAM. So, either kopite was very wrong with his leak or Nvidia has decided to use the more expensive 3GB memory chips for this "low" range card, and both options feel, at least to me, unlikely.
