I wasn’t expecting performance much different than the Founders Edition RTX 5070 we already tested at launch, and there were no surprises to report. So, with stock performance already known, how can this possible be interesting enough to justify new charts for this review? Overclocking, naturally.

The GeForce RTX 5060 family of cards is about to be released, and we have a 16GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti in for review. NVIDIA partners will be offering both 16GB and 8GB variants, and the fact that any card outside of the budget realm is being offered at all with just 8GB of VRAM is something that only NVIDIA can explain. Games haven’t suddenly become less demanding, and 8GB was demonstrably inadequate (not to mention wildly unpopular) in 2023.

8GB is still alive in 2025 – but the RTX 5060 Ti cards cost less than last genIs there anything more subject to enthusiast scorn and ridicule than a perceived shortage of VRAM? Based on the reaction to last generation’s GeForce RTX 4060 Ti launch, the safe answer is no. And NVIDIA is at it again, with the new RTX 5060 Ti available with just 8GB of VRAM, though a 16GB version should theoretically cost you less than the 16GB variants of the RTX 4060 Ti did last year. Or not.

It has been just over a month since AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 Series GPUs launched, and while availability has been about what we expected (which is to say, limited) AMD says first week sales were “10X higher than previous generations”. Clearly the demand is there, and if gamers had ready access to a Radeon RX 9070 XT (outside of the 19 U.S. states with a Micro Center) in the subsequent weeks, then comparison of available models would begin making sense again.

The first Gen5 SSD from Samsung has arrived, with the 9100 PRO offering performance that could just make it the fastest available NVMe drive. And by fastest, we mean an advertised up to 14,800 MB/s in peak sequential reads (if you get the 4TB model), with an impressive 13,400 MB/s sequential write capability. “The 9100 PRO SSD boasts lightning-fast PCIe 5.0, enabling the drive to achieve up to 14,800/13,400 MB/s sequential read/write speeds – moving data twice as fast as the previous generation.

The dream is alive
AMD Radeon RX 9070 Can be Flashed with RX 9070 XT BIOS to Increase Power Limits and Clocks https://t.co/ABLEQpNKT4 https://t.co/kHOxkUAlmp
Just finished an hours-long search for something that I never had (which explains why it isn’t here). I never had the non-heatsink SKU of the Crucial T705. I was remembering the Crucial T700 launch. That is all. And I have now wasted some of YOUR time if you read this post.
…may be the last. Got it. I wasn’t really sure the first three times, but the fourth one sold me. https://t.co/i7j8J8hH9j
