Discussion Nvidia Blackwell in Q1-2025

[TESKATLIPOKA]

limited how, is there some game which will not work?
you want let say 64GB on GPU just buy workstation card no one stopping ppl wanting to brag how their cards have lots of GPU ram

I clearly said limited to 8GB in laptops, so why are you bringing workstation card to this debate?
I already showed proof above that 8GB is not enough even today.

Here is a comparison from Spiderman 2 I posted in another thread.

Models	1080p RT Off Average FPS	1440p RT Off Average FPS	2160p RT Off Average FPS	1080p RT Off Minimum FPS	1440p RT Off Minimum FPS	2160p RT Off Minimum FPS
4060Ti 16GB vs 8GB	90.8 vs 79.4 (+14.4%)	63 vs 52.6 (+19.8%)	33.2 vs 26.5 (+25.3%)	67.4 vs 56.2 (+20%)	46.9 vs 37.4 (+25.4%)	20.4 vs 15.8 (+29.1%)

Models	1080p RT On Average FPS	1440p RT On Average FPS	2160p RT On Average FPS	1080p RT On Minimum FPS	1440p RT On Minimum FPS	2160p RT On Minimum FPS
4060Ti 16GB vs 8GB	49.5 vs 40.2 (+23.1%)	33.1 vs 27.2 (+21.7%)	17.5 vs 14.2 (+23.2%)	31.7 vs 27.2 (+16.5%)	21.3 vs 18.1 (+17.7%)	9.9 vs 7.9 (+25.3%)

So you think we all need 128GB cards then? What is this, 2040?!?!



Personally, I like comparing the 4060Ti 16GB to the 2080Ti which is a favorable matchup. Its pretty remarkable that this much performance comes in a tidy little low power package, I don't think anyone would scoff at a 2080Ti even at this late juncture. If the 5060Ti could compare favorably to the replacement it never got, the 3070 Ti 12 or 16GB, I still think this is good and extremely useful levels of performance. Comparing it to the 3080Ti is likely going to be a bridge too far given that the Blackwell seems to be a bit of a architectural dud. Had it been on target, that might have been very possible.

And this is supposed to be what? Sarcasm?

edit:
Ok, looks like that.
I don't need 128GB card, I would be content with 24Gbit modules for laptops.
So a next year Blackwell refresh most likely.

Videocardz claims it has 3dmark 5060 Ti 16 GB benchmarks. It averages 20% faster than 4060 Ti 16 GB but still 30-40% slower than the 5070.

I will add to It.

	Speed Way (1440p)	Steel Nomad (4K)	Port Royal (1440p)	Time Spy(1440p)	Time Spy Extreme (2160p)	Fire Strike (1080p)	Fire Strike Extreme (1440p)	Fire Strike Ultra (2160p)
RX 4060Ti	100%	100%	100%	100%	100%	100%	100%	100%
RX 5060Ti	125.2%	117.8%	122.6%	114.3%	116%	119.3%	122.7%	125.8%
RX 5700	177.4%	164.2%	172.3%	215.7%	173.5%	167.1%	180%	194.8%

Time Spy(1440p) looks wrong, RTX5070 is too fast, but others are also looking too high.
As for the 5060Ti? Hard to tell from those scores, the range is +14.3-25.8%. The not so big increase could be attributed to lower increase in TDP, supposedly only 180W, which is only 15W(9%) more, but we need gaming results.

Considering my RTX 3060 Ti gets about ~13K points (GPU) score in Time Spy, after five years this is pretty pathetic.

Well yeah, but you had to pay $380 for your 3060 Ti. Now you'll probably be able to buy an 8GB 5060 Ti that's 14% faster in TS for the low low price of $380.

Hey those leather jackets don't pay for themselves you know ......

14% for the same price after five years... No one is really going to even notice the difference.

It was actually 559,90 € in 24% VAT. Felt pretty bad back then but it has lasted quite long. This was one of the most over engineered 3060 Ti's out there with 250W power limit and obviously whisper quiet.
