New 16GB Nvidia and AMD GPUs are massively outselling 8GB cards, says retailer

Fresh retail data from one German retail source suggests that gamers have little interest in 8GB models of new GPUs, with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB model outselling the lower capacity model by as much as 16:1. This gap widens when looking at the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, where the 16GB model is outselling the 8GB model at a ratio of almost 30:1, but with fewer cards sold overall.

While both of these budget GPUs occupy our list of the best graphics cards, with both fighting for the attention of gamers looking to spend less than $500 on a new GPU. We specifically recommend the 16GB VRAM models over those with just 8GB. Now, it seems as though gamers are also favoring the higher VRAM capacities, and it's not hard to see why.
