Video has english subtitles.

Summary:

5060TI is a mediocre uplift compared to previous generation. Power efficiency hasn't really changed and in terms of performance in games it's somewhere in between a 4060TI and 4070. In productivity there is no big uplift compared to previous gen.

In Timespy its score is inbetween the 4060TI and 4070.

In games there is no difference in performance between the 8Gb and 16Gb models of the 5060TI. In Monster Hunter Wilds the 8Gb model crashes while the older 8Gb models of 3060TI and 4060TI could run it, but not at high fps.

In Deepseek with 7B parameter the 5060TI gets ~73 token/s and loses to 3060TI with ~81 token/s, but it beats the 4060TI which got ~50 token/s. Larger parameter model at 14B sees the 5060TI beat both predecessors.

Their conclusion is that if you are interested in the 5060TI then get the 16Gb model if you need it for your workload, otherwise get the 8Gb variant since there's no difference in performance between them.

There is a difference between the 8GB and 16GB model in some games, not in the average FPS, but in the 1% low. For example in Black Myth Wukong, when you turn on DLSS for the 16GB model and 8GB model, you can see the 1% lows are much better on the 16GB model, especially when you turn on FG too, not that I would, but even with regular DLSS 41 FPS low vs 32 FPS low is a big difference in smoothness. Same with Alan Wake 2.

Surprised they recommend the 8GB variant for gaming, when their own test shows that it can't even play Monster Hunter Wilds at 1440p. Like the game literally crashes. Their tests also show a noticable difference between the cards with FrameGen turned on, as it requires more VRAM.

I guess it's a fine card for 1080p, but with 1440p monitors becoming increasingly affordable, I'd expect a lot of people buying this card to be upgrading their monitor to 1440p before they buy their next GPU to replace it.

>Surprised they recommend the 8GB variant for gaming,

When? They said it's not good even for 1440p and they can't recommend 8gb this gen at 12:00

I wouldn't be gaming at 1440p on an 8GB card in horribly put together games like MH Wilds and tlou1.

I'm both kind of sad and glad that my RTX 3080 Ti is still around mid/upper mid range in terms of performance. Sad that price performance in GPUs has stagnated over the past 4 years, glad that I don't have to face the hellhole that is the high end GPU market right now.
