    5060 Ti Variant Distinction

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (bit of a noob), but I've noticed that there is only one entry for the RTX 5060 Ti in the video card benchmarks. I believe there are actually two variants of the 5060 Ti on the market: one with 8 GB of VRAM and one with 16 GB. I foresee some confusion of benchmark results (and erroneous value metrics) without a distinction made between the two.

    The difference in performance between 8GB and 16GB is huge, if you are using a game that requires, for example, 12GB to run.
    However at the moment only a few games need more than 8GB (of course it depends on the settings used in the game).

    For games (and our benchmark) that uses significantly less than 8GB, there should be no difference in performance. But we know this is a big topic of discussion at the moment and we might split them anyway.

      I figured I couldn't have been the first person talking about it, but didn't find a discussion on here with the search feature, somehow, so figured I'd bring it up. I appreciate your time and attention to the matter!

        So I see that the two variants have ultimately been split. I'm happy to see that. I noticed that the 16 GB card's price data are now incorrect, since it's still tracking the 8 GB version. Just a heads-up.

          Benchmark results were split and as predicted the results are extremely close (under 1% difference).
          But the pricing collection script tracks the lowest price and therefore the price history was almost certainly tracking the 8GB pricing. The pricing data has been moved to the 8GB entry. The script have been updated to track both 8GB and 16GB editions of the 5060 Ti going forward. Thank you.
