NVIDIA Hides RTX 5060 Ti 8GB From Press
Company NVIDIA officially released the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, but the start was mixed: only the 16GB version, while the younger modification with 8 GB storage completely dropped out of the spotlight. Major media outlets, including Hardware Unboxed, confirmed that they were unable to obtain samples of the junior model — despite formal permission, the partners had no right or the physical ability to send such video cards.
Some sources claim that NVIDIA has deliberately limited access to the younger card to avoid possible criticism. Recall that 8 GB of video memory is considered insufficient for a number of modern games today, especially at high settings and with technologies like DLSS Frame Generation. This could seriously affect performance, but users cannot check this yet - There are no reviews.
At the same time, both versions of the 5060 Ti formally have one launch date, however, in practice, the 8-gigabyte modification either did not go on sale or went on sale without media support. The situation caused confusion among journalists, since NVIDIA initially denied the priority of the older model, but later confirmed its focus during Q&A.
Now you can buy GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB in a number of regions, but the younger card is expected with a delay of up to a week.
