Test Setup
We are using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D for testing. We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest release BIOS. PCI-Express Resizable BAR is enabled. We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory. We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates. We have the latest drivers installed, including the latest chipset drivers. We are using the “Balanced” power profile in Windows Settings, and Core Isolation/Memory Integrity (VBS) is enabled.
The PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB Overclocked Dual Fan Video Card Review is priced at NVIDIA reference MSRP of $379.99 for an 8GB GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, and offers a factory overclocked video card, in a slim 2-slot compact configuration. It can provide a playable 1080p gameplay experience with Ultra game settings, and maximum graphics. It is also capable of DLSS 4 and 4.5 Upscaling with Ray Tracing, and it is performant in several games. Compared to the competition it is faster, especially in Ray Tracing titles. It allows some minor overclocking, offers a low power draw, and fits in any build, big or small. This is a great entry point for gaming, without the breaking the bank in 2026.
That is a powerhouse of a 1080p gamer. Very nice... I'd call it budget it it's still almost as much as a modern console... oof.

I admit I jumped on the 8GB hate bandwagon of late, but very happy to see how well this card performs at 1080p.
I remember doing some tests with my 4090 a couple of years ago at 1080p with settings maxed to just see what FPS my rigs were capable of, but I was also shocked by how nice modern games can look at 1080p w/ current textures, RT, etc., so a value-priced card like this providing the same visuals is a great deal. I even noticed how the Amazon price dropped to $349 for now.

i think a lot of folks are doing a 180 now that more RAM requires a credit check and reverse mortgage
Maybe Ram Doubler will make a comeback.

Paying $350 for 8GB in 2026. That's a hard no from me dawg. It'll probably be consider a hot deal in a few months. The dark times have returned.
Linux and indie gaming is on the rise, I kid you not. Younger gamers with little cheddar grow weary of corpo greed. But not just the cash strapped either. My son has a 5800X3D, 32GB 3600, 7800XT. You know what he and his friends are playing? Vintage Story. It will run on a decade old potato. Tarkov is the only game they play that is hard to run. Also indie. Almost everything they play is indie.
