I’ve seen reviews of the 5060 ti 8gb VS 16gb, and in some scenarios the 16gb model gets a playable FPS of 60+, while the 8gb gets ~15fps.
If you have an 8gb card, that is fine, but I wouldn’t buy a new one in 2025.
Do you know what resolution that is? I can see that for 4k, maybe 1440p, but if that’s happening for 1080p games have gotten a lot worse than I realized.
I ran a 1070ti for quite a while (8GB), and recently upgraded to a 6700xt (12GB?). Running 1080p 144hz, I pretty much only use that extra vram when I run local LLMs or Stable Diffusion.
More is better, but having 8GB for the “entry level” cards is fine IMO. Better than the 3/4 of the entry in the 1000 series nvidia cards.
