Notes on 6 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Max displays: Standard configuration supports up to 4 simultaneous displays based on the 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI port count.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Slot width: Calculated from the published 40 mm width (thickness), typically corresponding to a dual-slot form factor.

Memory and Performance

The 16GB model provides double the video memory of the 8GB version, which prevents performance bottlenecks and stuttering when VRAM overflows in modern games or heavy workloads. Buyers utilizing PCIe 3.0 or 3.0 and 4.0 motherboards should note that the x8 link impacts the 8GB card more severely once its buffer fills up.

While both share identical memory bandwidth and bus width, the 8GB variant features a 32 MB last-level cache. Meanwhile, the 16GB card secures the win for longevity and high-resolution texture handling without exceeding your hardware limits.

Price and Power

The 8GB variant launches at $379 as a starting MSRP for partner cards, making it the more affordable option. However, it demands a 600 W recommended PSU compared to the 500 W requirement of the 16GB version, potentially increasing your overall system build costs.

Both boards draw 180 W of power and typically rely on an 8-pin connector, though power requirements can vary slightly depending on the specific partner card design you choose.

Display Outputs and Size

The 8GB card pulls ahead in display connectivity by offering HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1b ports supporting the full UHBR20 rate, whereas the 16GB version sticks to HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1.

For physical dimensions, the 16GB card measures 241 mm in length and 111 mm in height while occupying 2 slots. Dimensions for the 8GB card are not published because manufacturing sizes vary entirely by partner.

Where to buy

FAQ

Do these graphics cards include a Founders Edition?

No Founders Edition exists for either card, meaning all available units are built and sold by partner manufacturers.

What power supply do I need for each card?

The 16GB version requires a 500 W power supply, while the 8GB version requires a higher 600 W power supply.

How do the display output versions differ?

The 8GB card features HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate, whereas the 16GB card uses standard HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1.

Do they share the same processing cores and speed?

Yes, both cards feature 4,608 shader cores, a base clock of 2,407 MHz, and a boost clock of 2,572 MHz.
