According to publicly available data from one of Germany’s largest retailers, Mindfactory.de, we gain insight into the sales of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB and 8 GB models. […]
[…] At the time of writing, the 8 GB version of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti model has been sold in 105 instances, compared to 1675 units sold of the 16 GB version. […]
And thus it has perfectly served its intended purpose. Businesses frequently use this tactic to increase sales of the more expensive version
Curious if it’s for gaming applications specifically, or if people want the extra memory for things like stable diffusion
8gb is garbage even for 1080p titles of today
When the premium for double the memory is so small it doesn’t make sense to buy the 8gb model. I’d bet it is 90% forward looking gamers to 10% stable diff/AI.
I would guess it’s mostly about gaming. 8GB was great 10 years ago. It’s not really enough now, especially if you’re running more than 1080p. $400 for an 8GB card is also a really bad deal.
