8GB most likely won't be able to max settings in newer games and in open world games. Otherwise, i think its serviceable.

Ppl play mario kart only need 8gb gpu?

Compare red team




So, if you only have 1.5k Budget.

buy what?

Switch 2?

if both on par, it isn't exactly an upgrade. people tend to move up the value chain.
likewise i'm currently using 3060 12gb, i won't even consider 5060 16gb, at the very least pun 5070 16gb or 5080 super 24gb

????

argument is

if i got RM1500 in hand

want buy GPU..

which i using 1060 now.

which to go?

3070ti used? ( because is 70, + TI? )
or 6700xt 12GB ( because more VRAM?? )


both selling 1300~1500 in used Market... u know?

5060 8GB = 1599 new with 2 year warranty

Wait for 9060XT 16GB.

If I'm in this scenario today, I would wait, or save more for better GPU. RX 9060 XT 16GB is around the corner as well. Expected price RM1749 (USD349 X 4.24 + 10% + 6% + shipping and some glowing numbers)

Only reason to go 8GB cards is when the user is doing work, or consistently play old or light games and doesn't play new AAA games. Some new AAA games are very demanding with the VRAM.

Almost all new GPUs today have 3 years warranty. Zotac has 3 + 2, some other brands and model has 4 years.

then again i'm not you. my GPU budget is way beyond 1.5k
also, comparing a 4 year old card over the 5060 is stupid when you even said both is on par for a replacement for your 1060

3070ti used is RM1500.

5060 new is RM1599
6700xt 12GB also around that price.



5060 after either faster or on par.

You cant brain this ??? captain obvious?
New, same price with warranty. 5060 is a no-brainer choice.

-------

Cant understand this ????
There is no competition @ RM1500 for 5060.

If you are upgrading, yes.
If you are buying a new pc or a new card, then this would make sense if you OK with 8gb.

The only thing I don't understand is why would YOU even consider a 4 year old card to begin with.

your first post NEVER mentioned the 1060, thus giving the impression of an upgrade from 3070 to 5060

Hmmm, are you into ray trace? if no, maybe also consider older AMD cards with a lil higher VRams?

Haiz...

1st post already mention

At 1500, even used card can't beat 5060

If u ultra rich, 5060 nvr 4 u, that's obvious.


Market need a card at every price point.

That's the rule since 2000 years ago

Its okay, to some people your not a true gamer if you dont get at least 5070TI and if your too poorfag to afford one go sacrifice your lunch monies and save up for it. Anything below that sux and you shouldnt be buying any of them.

Kinda related, I currently have a 3070 8gb. Recently upgraded to a 1440p 240hz monitor. Looking to upgrade GPU for between RM1500 to RM2000. Would a Rx 9060 XT be a decent upgrade to game at 1440p?

9060XT or 5060 Ti. Make sure you get the 16GB variant, this is the most important thing.

Depends on the games you want to play and you fps expectation and tolerant. May I know the reason you choose a 8gb vram on a 3070 to begin with?
Outside of the 8gb, I think 3070 is still a very serviceable gpu.

Thanks. 5060 ti can get around rm2k?

dont think u can

get a second hand 3080 12GB or 3080ti instead

Right now mainly playing valorant and some older games. With my new qd-oled monitor, want to play some eye candy AAA games.

Was previously upgrading from Gtx 1060, so the 3070 was a good upgrade coz I only had a 1080p monitor and played older games so the vram was not an issue but seems like it might be an issue at 1440p.

With an uplift < 10 FPS more than your 3070, dont even bother to upgrade


To max out your monitor you need at least


VRAM issue is only an issue with sloppy poorly made games. When a developer does a good job you get this

For new AAA eye candy, 8gb is OK if you can mid graphic settings to maintain fps. Or if you can accept lower fps to max graphic settings. However, in that case, might as well don't upgrade.
I think to enjoy eye candy, a 5070ti would be a more reasonable option.

Nice, unfortunately, good game developer is not common in the market now.

Thanks. Will continue with my 3070 first and see how it goes.

Will postpone upgrading for now and see whether my 3070 can handle the AAA games with moderate settings.

just test lalun game last of us part 2, with very high preset
i no idea where the part more intensive, since just testing i no gonna buy and play it
1080p already use over 8GB vram, i limit 60fps
i set left is total use of memory, right is game use of memory


Attached thumbnail(s)

Like a career, you would want to maintain same tier or better, so your target should be at 5070 or 5070TI. Since you have a gamer monitor, if your not aiming at least 5070TI with that swweettt 16GB VRAM for the futureproof gaming, your not a true gamer. [According to certain people]

TLOU2 is known to be a VRAM hog. For what reason I have no idea. When CO is visually better yet eats less, theres some optimisation that Naughty Dog could have done but didnt.

Viewnet is selling Asus Dual version at 2099.

If can I want to maintain the same tier, but GPU prices nowadays really
Hope my 3070 can tahan for a few more years.

Thanks but it appears to be not sufficiently better than my 3070.

Double post

Your 3070 only has 8GB VRAM so its unworthy to game now, throw it into the trash [according to certain people].
If you cant maintain, your a poorfag & not worth to game [according to certain people].
If your a real gamer, you will find way to afford that 5070TI (like dont eat lunch for a few months or something) [according to certain people].
Only a true gamer considers GPU RM 3k & above. Anything cheaper is trash with insufficient VRAM [according to certain people].

For 1440p and above, having 12GB+ card will give you way lower stuttering. If you stay with 1080p and/or with DLSS, then the insufficient memory issue should be gone.

Nice pricing there

Thanks. Will give it a try first and also try out DLSS, if it works well enough, then will postpone any purchase for now.

Yup. Can delete all new 8GB cards around this price.

1080P 1440P

For OP it is at best a sidegrade, no perf gain but spending RM 1800

There is, if run into VRAM issue when TS starts cranking up the settings. Not to say there will also be missing texture.

You need at least 30% more performance to consider an upgrade. You'll be looking at RX 9070 XT or 5070 Ti 16GB. Or 5070 12GB if you still game at 1080p.

He already bought it. And he knows what he signed up for.

Yeah, and its even worse for weaker CPUs.

6/6 maybe with voucher can get at 2k. Right now I see can get around 2.2k

But as Baconateer said, better get 3080 which is 20% faster than 5060 ti

All IT has a Sapphire 9060 XT 16GB for RM1739, too bad it's sold out
Yeah, RIP 5060 and the 5060 Ti 8GB, especially when you consider that the 9060 XT is at the same price (or at a slight premium) over the 5060

https://www.lowyat.net/2025/354927/heres-th...eon-rx-9060-xt/

1699

Very close to my price prediction. RM1749!

Umm... OP havent bought anything. Hes holding onto his 8GB VRAM card cuz it can still perform.

His first post is the card he bought.

to all, ts just PC builder, he work on PC shop, that look lilke he customer PC.
he always open thread on k, but sometime mod moved to here
