The current deal on the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is a no-brainer if you were already considering options like the RTX 5060 or RX 9060 XT 8GB.
MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 2X Drops to Just $309 With Promo Code and Rebate; PNY RTX 5080 Also Dropped to Just $929
It's understandable to avoid 8 GB GPUs, but when you have only $300 to spend on a GPU, then there are only a handful of options. The RTX 5060 and RX 9060 XT 8 GB are the only sensible choices for $300, but it makes no sense to buy these when you can have the more powerful RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB for just 10 bucks more. This is one of the rare deals you will find on retailers, and such low prices are likely due to gamers ignoring 8 GB GPUs.
Still, if your budget is constrained, then the MSI Ventus 2X GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB can't be beaten for the price-to-performance ratio. The RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB is 15% faster than both the RTX 5060 and RX 9060 XT 8 GB cards, making it an excellent option for 1080p gaming. For 1440p, the card will do fine in many titles, but it's best to reserve it for 1080p if you don't want your frame rates dipping in intensive titles.

It's not exactly the best deal since you can buy the RX 9060 XT 16 GB for $350-$380, but if you prefer NVIDIA and will mostly play at 1080p, this shouldn't be a big problem. Now, if you are an enthusiast with high demands, then you should go for the PNY RTX 5080 OC Triple Fan edition, which is currently listed for much lower than MSRP. On Walmart, you can purchase the GPU for just $929, which is $70 lower than the MSRP for the FE and base editions and is $170 lower than the official MSRP for the PNY OC Triple Fan edition.
