Ask HN: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 arrives May 19 at $299 revive PC builds?

10•byte-bolter•3d ago
Nvidia just announced that the GeForce RTX 5060 will hit shelves on May 19 starting at $299. It succeeds the GTX 1060/RTX 3060 line, adds DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation—but still ships with 8 GB of VRAM amid ongoing supply shortages.

I’m curious: Will this price point and feature set finally revive mainstream PC builds? Is 8 GB of VRAM still enough for today’s 1080p/1440p gaming?

Looking forward to benchmarks and your early impressions once cards start rolling out!

HN isn't really interested in these types of topics, but no it already looks like the 5060 card is one to avoid like the plague.

9060 or B580 are probably better value.
ManlyBread•3d ago
I am playing in 1080p and so far 4060 Ti with 16 GB of VRAM seems like a good enough purchase. Very few games out there provide graphics good enough to warrant a higher priced card and 16GB means I should be fine running many of the generative AI models out there, even if it is a bit slow. I actually wanted to grab a 4070 but at the time I was buying the card there were no 16GB models available.

I would love to support AMD but I am not paying for a decade of total negligence of GPGPU.

kristianp•3d ago
The 5060 ti does offer better memory bandwidth due to using GDDR7, if you're finding the 4060 ti slow.
byte-bolter•2d ago
Your 4060 Ti with 16 GB is perfect for 1080p gaming and light AI work—extra memory really helps with things like Stable Diffusion or small LLMs. The RTX 5060’s GDDR7 is faster, but 8 GB can fill up quickly under those loads. AMD’s new RX 7600/7700 cards with 12–16 GB and better ROCm support might be a solid non-Nvidia option.
aborsy•2d ago
What’s the use of these GPUs if you don’t care about gaming?
brokegrammer•1d ago
They're not even good for gaming. Paying $1000 for cards that allow you to play games at low settings sounds like something uninformed people do.
foxandmouse•1d ago
8GB of VRAM just doesn’t cut it for new AAA games, and the 5000 series had a bunch of driver issues, which kind of kills its main advantage over the 9060 or B580
babuloseo•1d ago
I would finally like to be able to use my ultrawide monitor lol, I hope its cheap. Its been sitting there since 2020 and I have been primarily running macos but.
Ekaros•1d ago
DOA on arrival. 8GB is not sufficient for AAA moving forward.

12GB is minimum to go for, and 16GB preferably if any longevity is expected.

Competing products are likely better options.

barnacl437•1d ago
for real? i mean games are getting weird instead. just set a lower in game settings or if you feel a bit adventurous, upgrade the soldered ram chips.

8gb as a minimum/mid-end segment is totally reasonable for me. it's just like 2gb vram on 1030/1050 cards like almost a decade ago.

giantg2•2h ago
8gb is reasonable for today, but it won't be reasonable in 3-5 years. I wouldn't build a PC for today, I want it to last at least 5 years. I want to run on high now, so that in 5+ years I can run anything on at least low.
