You dreamed of a confrontation Geforce RTX Go vs Geforce RTX Go? You were impatiently awaiting a test that would show the limits in 2025 of a graphics card with 8 GB of VRAM, to be able to add it to your favorites and be able to bring out the link during your debates to assert a “there, you see as it takes the card with 8 GB?!”. Well, we add voluntarily a little but, in any case if you recognize yourself a little bit in there you should be interested in the article that the German Computerbase site has just published, with a somewhat special protocol which still requires being explained.
First data which is important: our colleagues used the QHD definition (2560 x 1440p) during their article. A choice in itself justified since if the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is obviously at the top of the TOP in FHD, it also allows a completely convincing foray into the world of QHD. As a reminder, Nvidia himself presents his new card as being cut for the QHD.
Then, and this is the fact that the protocol differs a little from what we are used to seeing: Computerbase did not take a final choice of graphic settings for the tested games, like “all in ultra” or other. They started by testing the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB and by establishing the most advanced settings on each game, allowing to obtain an average framerate of at least 60 frames per second and a satisfactory gaming experience. They then recorded these settings, then tested under the same conditions with this time the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB. Some of you may find that such a protocol has more chance of punishing the presence of 8 GB “only”, but it has the merit of bringing a slightly different angle from what we usually meet and respond to a clear problem:
If I take a RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB instead of a 16 GB, should I make concessions?

The answer, obviously, will greatly depend on the games and we can see that out of the 27 games tested by Computerbase, 14 or half displays really similar results in 16 GB and 8 GB versions, whether on the average framework where the “1 % low”, important to translate possible punctual saccades which may not really appear in the average number of images per second. But therefore, for the other 13 games, sensitive differences appear. It will sometimes not disturb the gaming experience too much, but from others it becomes completely unthinkable to keep adjustments conducive to a RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, if we finally opt for the model 8 GB. Here is for example the results obtained by our colleagues with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which Thibaut recently offered you a test.
Showing this graphic is also an opportunity to specify that Computerbase had the idea of testing each time in PCIe 5.0 but also PCIe 4.0. A PCIE 4.0 mode which has a sometimes significant impact when the 8 GB version is at the end of the roll …
