NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is available in 16 GB and 8 GB models. It appears that NVIDIA is focusing more on producing the 16 GB version, as many gamers prefer GPUs with higher capacity. As a result, the 8 GB version has become less of a priority, with most attention now on the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB. According to Board Channels, NVIDIA has directed its AIC partners to prioritize the production of the 16 GB SKU over the 8 GB model, making the latter a secondary option. It is obvious from this that the demand for this mid-range GPU is good, and that gamers in this range want to future-proof their systems to last a bit longer, as modern games increase their VRAM usage.

This is happening almost four months after we reported an insight into the sales of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB and 8 GB models from one of Germany's largest retailers, Mindfactory.de. According to the sum of the units sold, the 16 GB version of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is outselling the 8 GB version by more than 16 times, which represents a 1,600% difference. Mindfactory lists each GeForce RTX 5060 Ti model with a tag indicating the number of units sold, showing how many units were sold to customers of a specific model. Even with good availability of both SKUs, gamers have consistently opted for the 16 GB version. MSRPs of both GPUs are $50 apart, with the 8 GB SKU at $379.99 and 16 GB at $429.99.
