MODERATORS
For example, when not limited by VRAM at 1440p, the GeForce GPU is 60% faster in Counter-Strike 2 and Black Myth: Wukong, 50% faster in God of War Ragnarök, and 30% faster in F1 24 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. On average, across a wide range of games, the 5060 Ti is roughly 40% faster.
Whoever could have ever predicted that the low amount of VRAM would be a big issue...?
Intel seems more trustworthy for drivers and support, whereas I've always had issues with Nvidia.
If you can actually get your hands on a B580…
Last I heard, they were readily available, albeit at about $100 over MSRP (so $350 instead of 250). I guess that was before we found out they were faster than Nvidia's $500+(?) card, though...
Cheapest B580 where I lives is around $330; but that's an exception. Most SKUs are closer to $380.
I know a lot of people won't read the content, so to quote an important bit:
While admittedly we have to cherry-pick examples where the B580 can beat the 8GB 5060 Ti, it is insane that such examples even exist. Under no circumstances should a new RTX 5060-class GPU priced around $400 end up slower than the B580.
It makes the title feel a bit sensationalist, as bad as a US$400 8GB GPU is
Atleast I don't have to worry about my gpu going obsolete anytime soon
