Nvidia might add more VRAM to the RTX 5060 — but that still won't save it

Rumors suggest Nvidia is planning 9GB VRAM variants of the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti using new 3GB GDDR7 memory modules. However, the upgrade is criticized as misleading: the 1GB VRAM bump comes alongside a reportedly reduced memory bus width, which would result in worse overall performance compared to the existing 8GB models. The author argues Nvidia is banking on consumers fixating on the higher VRAM number without understanding the trade-offs, prioritizing profit over genuine value for gamers.
