Identical to the 16 GB card apart from memory capacity, which is exactly the problem: 8 GB is already a constraint in recent releases at 1440p and in ray-traced titles. The $50 step up to 16 GB is one of the easiest upgrade decisions on this page.

Where to buy
$379MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
No retailer links are configured for this card yet. CompareYourGPU does not publish purchase links it cannot stand behind, so nothing is shown here rather than a button that goes nowhere.

Should you buy it?
Recommended at the right price
At its $379 MSRP it would be below the $461 its performance justifies. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price, so confirm what it actually sells for before buying.
1080p gaming at 100+ FPS
Why
- Estimated performance index of 41 at 1080p, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
- 10.8 index points per $100 at 1080p, among the strongest value here, based on launch MSRP.
- Supports DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation.
- At 1080p the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is 2.4% slower than the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB while costing $50 less, which gives it the better performance per dollar of the two. Based on launch MSRP.
Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.
Watch out for
8 GB is enough at 1080p today but short of the 12 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation, which is the specification most likely to date this card.
Consider instead
- RX 9060 XT 8GB if you want more performance for the money. It returns 12.7 index points per $100 against 10.8.
- RTX 5060 Ti 16GB if you want more memory headroom. It carries 16 GB against 8 GB, at $429.

How this was measured, and what it is not
Geometric mean of average FPS. Vendor upscaling at Quality (DLSS on GeForce, FSR on Radeon, XeSS on Arc), with native TAA in a minority of titles. Not native resolution, and not a like-for-like image-quality comparison across vendors.
The ray tracing rating covers a smaller 7-game suite than the 21-game rasteriser rating, so the two are not directly comparable with each other either. ComputerBase does not test every card at every resolution; a card missing from a table has no figure here rather than an inferred one.
Because of that, these figures are not directly comparable with the estimated index above, which describes native resolution with no upscaling. Read each on its own terms rather than against the other.

Per-game measured results
No verified benchmark data yet
CompareYourGPU only publishes frame-rate figures it can attribute to a named, linkable measurement, and none have been transcribed for the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB yet. The estimated performance indices above are clearly labelled as estimates and are the honest alternative until measured runs are recorded here.
In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features
What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.
Supported. This card uses 4th-generation RT cores.
DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.
DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.
Hardware AV1 encode is supported. 9th-generation NVENC with AV1 and HEVC encode. 6th-generation NVDEC with AV1, HEVC and H.264 decode.
Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits
CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.
Strengths
- Same GPU and same 448 GB/s bandwidth as the 16 GB model
- Full DLSS 4 feature set at a lower entry price
- 180 W and a single 8-pin connector
Weaknesses
- 8 GB of VRAM forces texture compromises in several current releases
- Ray tracing and frame generation both increase memory use, which this card can least afford
- Shares a product name with the 16 GB card, which makes shopping confusing
Best for
- 1080p gaming on a tighter budget
- Esports and competitive titles at high refresh rates
Not ideal for
- 1440p gaming at Ultra texture settings
- Ray-traced AAA titles
- Buyers who keep a graphics card for four years or more
Price, value and efficiency
What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.
$379MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
Good priceFair price for this performance: $461
Good buy below $424 · expensive above $516
The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.
Performance per dollar
9.0
Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.
That places it in the top quarter of the database on value.
Performance per watt
18.9
Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.
That places it in the upper half of the database on efficiency.
RTX 5060 Ti 8GB frequently asked questions
Is the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 95-140 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 100+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 8 GB is enough for 1080p today, but it is below the 12 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
Is the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 60-90 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 60+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 8 GB is below the 10 GB CompareYourGPU considers the practical floor for 1440p. Expect to lower texture settings in recent releases.
Is the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 25-35 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 8 GB is below the 12 GB CompareYourGPU considers the practical floor for 4K. Expect to lower texture settings in recent releases.
How much VRAM does the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB have?
The RTX 5060 Ti 8GB has 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, giving 448 GB/s of bandwidth. 8 GB is below the 10 GB CompareYourGPU considers the practical floor for 1440p. Expect to lower texture settings in recent releases.
What power supply does the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB need?
NVIDIA recommends a 600 W power supply for a complete system built around the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, which draws 180 W of board power. It uses 1x 8-pin.
Which upscaling technologies does the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB support?
It supports DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
Is the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB good for ray tracing?
Its ray tracing index is 32 at 1440p, against a rasterisation index of 34, so it retains about 94% of its standing once ray tracing is enabled. That is a moderate result: ray tracing costs it somewhat more than average. Both figures are CompareYourGPU estimates, not measurements.
How much does the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB cost?
It launched at $379 MSRP. CompareYourGPU does not publish a current street price because it does not yet carry a verified price feed, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RX 9060 XT 16GB at $349. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is about 3% ahead, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
