oofdragon And the 9060 XT is still going to be faster, same for the 9070 XT. NVidia is for the fanboys Reply
habermas Even Nvidia, one of the biggest winners in the AI race, has been affected by the RAMpocalypse, with the company not announcing a new GPU at CES 2026. This is the first time this has happened in five years, with Jensen Huang releasing the 30-series, 40-series, and their respective mid-generation refreshes despite supply chain limitations and several other issues that arose during that period. Help me out here: What was the name of the mid-generation refresh of the 30-series? I never heard about it. Reply
TechieTwo DRAM suppliers have taken a lesson from Nvidia. If consumers are willing to pay outrageous prices for GPU cards, they might as well pay outrageous prices for DRAM. Reply

usertests bolweval said: Faster than what? Great question, since the 9060 XT 16GB is slower than the 5060 Ti, and thus any Super card that isn't based on the 5050 or 5060. Reply
Jabberwocky79 Of course there will always be the money-is-no-object crowd, but between a lack of supply, scalpers, and sheer cost, these will be DOA. Get ready for $3000 and up 5080 Supers. Reply
