      Because it’s the low-end xx60? Also, apparently Nvidia did some high-tech magic that allows higher-res textures to be handled with less vRAM.

      But, yeah, it’s a 5060. You’re not buying this to play in 4k Ultra.

        Ever since the 40 series, you need to downgrade every card by 1 tier to get the actual product. Nvidia marketing gimmick.

        RTX 4060 - RTX 4050

        RTX 4060 Ti - RTX 4050 Ti

        RTX 4070 - RTX 4060

        RTX 4070 Super - higher clock speed RTX 4060

        RTX 4070 Ti - RTX 4060 TI

        RTX 4070 Ti Super - RTX 4070

        RTX 4080 - RTX 4070 TI

        RTX 4080 Super - RTX 4080

        RTX 40?? - RTX 4080 TI. There definitely should have been a GPU in this bracket judging by transistor counts. Would eat into the insane 4090 margin though so it wasn’t meant to be.

        RTX 4090 is of course appropriately named.

          It’s actually worse than that. Some Supers clock in at base, some Tis perform better than Super Tis, it’s just a shitshow of actual compute performance. How they manage to avoid false advertising claims is of much fascination to me.

          Oddly enough, if you look at the inflated street prices, they are pretty slavishly aligned to real performance of the cards lol.

        This video clearly shows the NVIDIA magic is pooping in your own pants.

        And the card even struggles at 1080p with 8GB…
