Pros
- the 5060 is a decent gpu for 1080p gaming.
- The 5060 itself is a pretty capable card and with DLSS and FG you will have no problem pushing high fps numbers in majority of the games even at 1440p with optimised settings or medium to high settings if the VRAM is not exceeded!
- Yes, 5060 for medium/high 1440p is fine. DLSS helps a lot with visuals and optimization.
- also see for some Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB if you want a current gen one
- 5060 is more than enough for light/moderate 1080p but you can even go cheaper like an Intel Arc B570 to save a little and not notice much of a difference.
Cons
- Parent context: So upgrading his GPU on the current motherboard is not worth the money or effort? Reply: Yes. There is no benefit from the new 5060 and 9060 GPUs. It only matters to get a new PCIe 3.0 GPU which is better than his existin...
- In addition 8GB vram is not enough for most new games at 1440p, and Nvidia has higher CPU overhead than AMD.
- Decent, but it could be better
- the 5050/5060/5060TI all use PCIE X8, which on 3.0 systems can kill the 1% lows since it's running at half bandwidth compared to the normal X16, and that issue would get a lot worse when running out of vram which is much more common on t...
- Ok then go with the 8GB variant of the 5060 Ti because it is still around 15 percent faster than the vanilla 5060!

the RTX 5060 is the second worst current-generation consumer gaming GPU that Nvidia makes right now (only the RTX 5050 is behind it). The 5060 was created to target the entry-level gaming GPU level.

buying 8 gb now is just not great..
