- The NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GPU suffers up to 10% performance loss using PCIe 4.0
- This comes after speculation that its PCIe 5.0 x8 specification and its VRAM 8 GB capacity would be a disadvantage
- This means that players will have to buy a PCIe 5.0 motherboard for better performance using the GPU
The launch of the NVIDIA RTX 5000 series is not yet finished, the RTX 5060 is now ready to be launched on May 19. However, the owners of GPU RTX 5060 TI 8GB may undergo a significant loss of performance without realizing it.
According to Computerbase, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GPU undergoes a loss of performance up to 10% when using PCIE 4.0 on PCIe 5.0. This was previously said before its launch, because one of MSI’s models was disclosed, revealing its PCIe X8 specification, which was allegedly detrimental to the VRAM 8 GB version.
We can now clarify that this is the case, because computer-base tests reveal an average FPS of 44.3 using PCIe 5.0, compared to an average FPS of 37.9 using PCIe 5.0 on the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GPU, based on performance on several games.
This is an important question for those who use PCIE 4.0 motherboards; The 8 GB GPU is already lower than its 16 GB counterpart and the tastes of RTX 5070 Ti, so other performance losses can hit consumers much more difficult. He once again points to 8 GB GPUs, and if they are sufficient to manage the triple -A game today – and the evidence shows that they cannot.
More reasons why the 8 GB GPUs must go …
Given the true capacity of 8 GB, I had a strong feeling that the rumor concerning the PCIE performance limitations was legitimate, and this seems to be the case.
Players using more powerful GPUs such as RTX 5070 TI or RTX 5080 can undergo a loss of performance little or no PCIE 4 or lower instead of PCIe 5.0; And even if there was a significant loss of performance, it would not be enough to be frustrated.
However, with a much lower 8 GB GPU (and frankly, the one that most consumers will not want to continue), these performance reductions will be greater because performance will not be excellent in GPU high intensity games to start. Much of this can be resolved by lowering the graphic parameters or the 1080p games, but the VRAM 8 GB capabilities can only last so long before it is completely untenable.
If the message was not already clear enough, it is better to choose another card rather than the RTX 5060 Ti – unless you agree with 8 GB of VRAM and you buy a new PCIe 5.0 motherboard …
