GIGABYTE WindForce GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB

Nice upgrade from a 3060

I bought this to upgrade from a 3060. I'm now getting 190+ fps in Black Myth Wukong on 1440p with max settings. 160+ fps with extreme settings in BO6 in 1440p. It's definitely worth the upgrade from an older card.

Pros: Excellent fps on max settings in 1440p

Amazing!

Honestly I was a bit skeptical about the price, especially after upgrading from my AMD Radeon. It was smaller from my previous GPU but it packed a bigger punch! My games are looking a lot more crispier and moving a lot smoother! Would definitely recommend!

Very good so far, everything's working fine. I previously had an RTX 3060 12GB.

Would I recommend it? Yes. The build quality feels solid, the VRAM makes a difference for my workflow, and while I understand the situation with prices, if you need a card that performs well, is energy-efficient, and runs quietlythis model has been great so far.

Pros: It's quite lightweight and the materials look high-quality. From what I've tested, the power consumption is lower than with the 3060though I might need to test it more thoroughly. VRAM was one of the reasons I bought it; I do rendering work and I can feel the difference while working. I just made the switch and everything has been going very well.

Cons: I had an issue with the driversmy screen went black and I had to use DDU again to reinstall them. I guess its more of a driver-related problem than an issue with the card itself. Hopefully things will improve over time.

Solid overkill for 1080p widescreen so far

Bare in mind, I'm kind of a casual... I had a Gigabyte RTX 2060 Gaming OC I got used during the pandemic I really liked. When I saw this pop up on launch day for more than 5 milliseconds, I was excited despite the bump over MSRP. For reference, I have it paired in my new ITX build (Fractal Era 2) with an intel 265k and Z890i mobo meant for productivity with a side of gaming. Just like my previous Gaming OC 2060, this card runs cold and quiet with its overkill cooler, and only 150 W gaming [up to 180 W in testing]. Dunno why it has the dual (performance or silent) bios. It's so quiet running a basic overclock in performance mode, silent would have to really mean *silent.* Running with the drivers that dropped on release day. I had just started Ghost of Tsushima (photo, see MSI overlay), and wow. With vsync off I'm getting a steady 80+ fps in GoT with 1080p (21:9) max settings and anti-aliasing, using NO DLSS or frame gen. Monitor is only 75 Hz so that'll certainly do. For benchmark nerds, pulled 37.3 fps in Steel Nomad (7132 pts), and 16659 gpu score in Time Spy, to name a couple. Only been a few hours but to me? A solid first impression for this class. For maxed out 1080p settings in a quiet build, or probably even pushing into 1440p (esp if you don't mind DLSS or FG), this thing's great.

Pros: - **16 GB VRAM** - Standard 8 pin power. - Ran simple OC scan, clocked up to 2900 MHz plus a small memory OC. - Cool ~60 C at sustained load. - Very, very quiet. Even under sustained 100% load gaming. - Raster performance is solid for 1080p widescreen (21:9) gaming, see below. - Small things, but has a dual bios. And the little bit of RGB on it can either shine through the Gigabyte logo, or the logo can be slid to the side to give bare light.

Cons: - None, really? Maybe that it's not an MSRP card, but the quiet cooling solution is def added value.

Everything you'd expect from Gigabyte + nvidia

Obviously upgrading from a 1060 to a 5060 Ti means I am gonna have a very positive review. Highly recommended Side note: shame on you Nvidia for selling 8gb versions of these.

Pros: Device works great with my existing PSU and 8 pin power adapter. Fans are no louder than my outgoing and still-functional amazing GTX 1060 6GB (I still love you) Driver support is of the quality we've come to expect from Nvidia. Which is to say, very good. The brightness/post processing profiles remained intact, a nice bonus.

Cons: Two hiccups I experienced are: - During initial bringup, Windows 11 lost its marbles and wouldn't go to 1024x768 resolution. Geforce Experience gets upset about this and I couldn't click "OK" button to install driver. Manual driver download solves this. I don't give serious negative marks here, but this could have been better... especially since it's literally called the "Geforce Experience" - I didn't anticipate no DVI cables, adapters, etc. You mean it's not 2018 anymore? An extra $8 DP -> DVI adapter solved my issue. Not really a con. Just an FYI
