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.
Available at its original MSRP, the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8G Ventus 2X OC Plus features a dual-fan design, factory-overclocked modes, and a compact form factor, making it a solid choice for small-form-factor and budget-focused PC builds.
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.

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.

Findecanor President's Day, Presidents' Day or Presidents Day … It can be spelled in multiple ways. Originally celebrated on Washington's Birthday, and later changed to fall on the third Monday of February so as to be a day off. Some say that it is meant for all previous US presidents, some say it is also for those who fought in the war of independence, and those who participated in writing the US constitution. Others even include people who fought for citizens rights after those events. Ultimately, it is to celebrate and honour people who fought and worked for the values for which the United States was founded. I am not American, so this was new to me. But I think we need something like the Presidents Day also in other places of the world, even in the state where I live. In these dark times, we all need to be reminded of those values, and that it is worthwhile to fight for them and work to uphold them. (Written by a human) Reply
DingusDog Even some 5070 models are near MSRP because people have been brainwashed into thinking anything with less than 16GB of V-RAM is literally unusable. Reply
hwertz I mean. i wouldn't call them unusable (I still have a GTX1650 with 4GB) but i wouldn't spend $500-1000 for a card that may be fast but will run out of VRAM under the loads demanding enough to use that extra speed. Reply
