or a second gpu for frame gen

DLSS 5? No?

Dlss 5 is designed for this card.
Even before then, lots of options with prior iterations or even lossless scaling app on the secondary gpu - easy setup and nice improvements on high hz monitors

@misunderstood98: Yes, I have read about it and even another person asked me to look into it, but barely gaming nowadays.

@[Deactivated]: Yeah not much use outside of gaming yet, although technically i think anything full screen can use LS on secondary gpu

Obviously this depends on the games you play. I have no problems at 1440p with my old 8gb 6600xt. Sure, newer titles struggle at High graphics settings, but usually Medium is fine for ~60fps. For anything that struggles too badly, RSR is surprisingly good, and I'm sure DLSS would also work well (I've not tried it personally though)

Why buy this when RX9060XT 16GB are going for $480

Are you saying this card is much worse than the old RTX 3070?
- 0
It's roughly the same performance as my 3070 which does perfectly fine at 1440p, but that depends entirely on what you're playing.

Pay a bit more and get the 9060xt 16gb

May is the start of NV new quarter and there maybe a price adjustment, so now is a good time if you need it.

will there be some difference if upgarde from 3060 12gb to this?

I wouldn't downgrade vram

yeah that's my first concern… I got a coupon from ING for an additional $30 off, so the price is quite reasonable though.

Get the 9060xt linked above

It's close to 50% faster if it doesn't run out of VRAM

impressive— with or without dlss?

I'm just going by this https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-5060-gami… which I assume without

all the saved $$$ will contribute to ram inflation

You can probably just fit qwen3.5 14b Q4_K_M with minor offloading for short context if that's your thing (40t/s)

Buying a 8gb gpu for llm's is just stupid. If you are just running llms (e.g. no audio, image, video generation), the 9060xt 16gb for slightly more is a much better choice.

What are you running that has good support for AMD GPUs?
- 1
I'm just using LM studio for LLMs. AMD gpu's are supported fine. Just maybe not day one support for new models for AMD gpus compared to Nvidia. I also tested an intel b580 with with LM studio. That one had a lot of driver issues. Had to downgrade a driver version to even get it working. Also, new models takes a long time to get supported. Just make sure the runtimes are up to date when you are using LM studio (turn on developer options to check runtimes).

llms are fine with amd
Its only machine learning cuda type stacks that might need nvidia
if wondering xgboost, jax etc took me literally 15 mins to get working with rocm
8gb vram in 2026 lol what a joke
- 0
Agree (apart from the "stupid" bit), was just saying it's a good secondary use and it doesn't run half bad
- 0
Instead of playing around with llms, some people actually want to enjoy a form of entertainment.

Why not both? Not like an LLM has to run 24/7. 8gb is good enough for dabbling into AI for the first time

Can anyone confirm if Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti EAGLE MAX OC 16GB Video Card's $720 price is correctly valued at this time or better to wait?
- 0
https://www.pgrid.app/au/gpus/geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16gb
Price got inflated but 720 seems to be the lowest for any 5060ti 16GB
Ignore the amazon listing because its the 8GB version.

They have just cancelled my order from few days ago, I ordered the 5060TI16G. Am planning to report this to ACCC and Fair trade.
