The ongoing global memory crunch is expected to push GPU prices higher once again. That said, if you’re looking for a capable graphics card for 1080p gaming with the latest AI-based upscaling technologies, the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8G Ventus 2X OC Plus is currently available at its launch MSRP of $379.99 on Newegg. The card typically sells for around $445.49, but this limited-time deal offers a $65.50 discount (14%) and also includes a free MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80+ Bronze power supply, adding extra value to your purchase.
Note that opting for the 8GB variant instead of the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB variant entails certain compromises. While it can handle less demanding titles at 1080p, modern AAA games are likely to struggle at maximum settings, particularly when ray tracing is enabled. In our recent comparison, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB delivered performance similar to the 16GB model at 1080p medium settings, trailing by only a few percent in overall frame rate.
At 1080p ultra, the 8GB card averaged about 11% slower overall compared to the 16GB model and struggled in ray-traced titles, where the limited VRAM and memory bandwidth became more noticeable. As for 1440p resolution, the performance gap widens further: the 8GB version is 18% slower on average and about 39.6% slower when ray tracing is enabled.
Simply put, the 8GB RTX 5060 Ti, at $379.99, is a reasonable choice for buyers focused on 1080p gaming, competitive esports titles, and everyday workloads, especially when priced closer to MSRP. It may also serve well for anyone upgrading from older-generation GPUs or building a budget-focused PC.
