To the surprise of nobody, sales of the 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti at retailer Mindfactory outstrip the 8 GB version by a factor of 16

The sales results from one retailer can't be used to judge the success of a product across the globe, but if those from German retailer Mindfactory are anything to go by, it would seem that PC gamers have really had enough of 8 GB graphics cards. So much so, they're willing to pay an extra €70 ($82) just to have the doubled VRAM version of the RTX 5060 Ti.

When Nvidia launched the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card back in April, it did something a little unusual. Rather than release the 16 GB and 8GB versions at the same time, it delayed the latter by a few days. It also never issued review samples of the 8 GB model; in our case, we just got 16 GB cards from MSI and Palit.
