Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB

The 8GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti is possibly the worst trap we've ever seen laid for mainstream gamers. Nvidia has really outdone themselves here. Their efforts to suppress early reviews and exploit uninformed buyers are unacceptable.

If you want ray tracing, then RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is your best option, and of course anything upcoming from AMD in that price bracket—we've been hearing rumors about an RX 9060 Series after Computex, an RX 9070 GRE is also likely, but both are unknowns in terms of performance and pricing. We do know that they use the RDNA 4 architecture, which means support for FSR 4 and stronger RT cores.
