Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series product value

Are there any 5060Ti 8GB reviews yet? I guess NVIDIA is not providing them to reviewers.

Nope, they didn't. Reviews start showing up when reviewers can buy them from retail

Nvidia isn’t morally or legally obligated to sell us well-priced products, but they aren’t pricing them high because they *have* to in order to make a profit or whatever like some people act like.

Their obligation to shareholders isn’t to make a profit. It’s to maximize profit. There’s no concept in business where management decides that a certain profit is “enough”. The only external limits on profit are laws, competition and consumer willingness to pay.

Tim Unboxed said NVIDIA had "explicitly prevented" some AIB partners from providing 8GB cards for review. Other AIBs said the 8GB cards were not ready. But the 8GB and 16GB cards do have the same official launch date and there are some listings for the 8GB version on Newegg.

Yeah, and the results are exactly as you'd expect:

Reviews show the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB matches the 16GB model in most tests, falls behind in DLSS 4

A perfect example of why 8GB VRAM isn't enough for modern games.

Opinion doesn't need to be objective, it doesn't need to be based on facts, it doesn't even need to be true.

Which makes it a lie which some people are saying to get clicks/views. I'm glad that we're agreeing on the basics!

You just repeated what I said, where’s the disagreement?

I took your comment to mean they could lower prices and still make a profit and therefore that’s an option they should consider.

No, how did you come to that conclusion? I say literally within the snippet you quoted as they have no moral or legal obligation to price these how consumers want.

I am saying that, contrary to what some on this forum believe, these gradual price increases are not due to rising transistor costs or whatever, they are simply due to consumer demand increasing and Nvidia raising prices with demand.
