Live benchmark data
Not enough verified runs yet for a fair pool verdict — averages appear once each side has at least five.
Verdict — RTX 5080
The reasonable enthusiast pick. 16 GB VRAM is enough for now but will feel tight in a couple of years for 4K modded games. Runs cool and quiet compared to the 5090.
Verdict — RTX 5060 Ti
Buy the 16 GB SKU or don't buy this card. NVIDIA splitting SKUs by VRAM at the same tier is user-hostile — the 8 GB version can't run modern games at the settings the 16 GB one manages.
