Nvidia will soon replace all the 8G(4*2G GDDR7) to 9G( 3*3G GDDR7) or 12G(4*3G GDDR7). They just announced laptop 5070 12G version (basically a desktop 5060ti) to replace laptop 5070 8G(exactly the same 5060TI 8G desktop version. DO NOT BUY 5060ti 8G, the 12G is coming.
For the price of the GPU alone this is great. And if you're more into casual or older titles this gpu can handle 1080p 60+ fps easily. Not a bad deal at all.
This bundle pairs an RTX 5060 Ti 8GB with a 750W Rosewill PSU, and the card is framed as a newer, more efficient 3070 class option that is strongest at 1080p gaming. It is described as handling casual and older titles at 1080p 60 plus fps easily, with several notes that 1440p at 60 fps is fine for many games and that it can work well as an eGPU over USB4 or Oculink. The main concern is the 8GB VRAM, which is seen as limiting for heavier modern games and higher settings. The PSU gets mixed confidence, though it is also described as working fine in a separate high power build.
People playing at 1440p with moderate settings, because it can run 1440p just fine for most games.
Yes. The 8GB VRAM is generally fine for 1080p, and this card can handle 1080p 60+ fps easily in casual or older titles. It is a better fit for standard 1080p play than for pushing very high settings in demanding new games.
It can handle 1440p for many games, especially at 60 fps or with settings turned down. Several comments describe 1440p as fine on similar 8GB cards, including 1440p ultrawide and 1440p 60-75Hz use.
If you want maximum headroom for future AAA games, 8GB is a real limitation and some commenters recommend waiting for 12GB or higher models. If your use case is 1080p or lighter 1440p gaming, the card is still considered usable and good value.
The PSU is described as working fine in a 265K + 9070 XT system for 6 months, and the bundle is also noted as possibly using a higher-end Rosewill platform than the brand's older budget reputation. It is still a budget combo part, so the main appeal is value rather than premium PSU status.
I learned a while ago there is no point in teaching people about how garbage 8gb vram gpu's are in 2026. People who already bought one will defend it endlessly, and the people who want to cheap out on a gpu will proclaim how a random youtube video says they are great.
I have learned long ago not trying to argue with people about how Garbage Arguments are regarding "What you must have to game" long ago. I played through and beat Final Fantasy VII Remake at (Max? Mostly Max? it's been a spell, I don't recall for sure) with *Gasp* 6GB VRAM. At 1080p 60Hz you will be Fine with 8GB VRAM. ;P

Shoot at 1440p 60fps it'll be fine for most games.
I heard this crazy rumor that you can actually still play games without texture detail level set to ultra/max. The word on the street is that you can change a setting, and it greatly reduces the VRAM required, and then you can still play the game. I've even heard you can play modern AAA titles with decade old video cards this way. Shh, don't tell anybody I told you though. If word ever got out, Jen-Hsun might have to delay his next leather jacket purchase.

This would be a solid egpu setup through oculink or USB4
This is a good match for USB4/TB4 because stronger GPU would be bottlenecked too much by usb4 bandwidth. But if you have oculink, you can go a few GPU tiers higher and only be slightly bottlenecked

Or wait for it to get a little cheaper? Then buy it?
Maybe Rosewill has changed? It certainly used to NEVER be a PSU you'd consider putting in a $1000 machine. I've put them in $400 machines where it's part of a combo, but then everyone knows you're cutting corners intentionally.
EDIT: Does Rosewill still use Superflower parts on their higher end models? Apparently this series is "B tier"? So maybe it's not terrible.

8gb can't work in 2026 anymore cmon. The GTX 1070 came out in 2016 and had the same amount of ram. Anything under 12 is not playable for 1080p anymore with the newer AAA games unless you knock the textures to low or med

The truth about 8 vs 12 vs 16gb VRAM
People will tell you that you need 16gb or that 8gb is enough for today's games but the truth is a little more complicated.
Your Video Card will store graphics in it's VERY fast internal RAM (VRAM) and when it fills up, it will then have to use your system RAM to compensate. System ram is very slow compared to onboard VRAM which is why Video on CPU's is so slow as compared to a dedicated video card. The CPU video does not have VRAM and has to use System Ram. (this is not the only reason it's slower but a big part of it)
You video card needs more ram the larger your screen resolution is (not screen size but resolution) as it buffers multiple screens in memory and the more pixels needed, the more VRAM is needed. In addition, your Video Card needs VRAM for computing graphics.
To keep this basic... the more sophisticated the game, the more VRAM it needs.
So why does one person running Call of Duty, for example, say it runs fine in 8gb and another say it needs 12 or 16gb? Well most games either auto set or allow you to turn on and off graphic features for that game.
One person may want to turn everything to the max (which requires more VRAM) and another person will be perfectly happy turning settings down a bit and in that case, and not running at 4k LOL, you can get away with only 8gb on your Video Card and it will run just fine.
It's actually a balancing act because even if, for example, your 5060 has 16gb of VRAM, the Video Card is often not fast enough to turn everything on in most games anyway so the extra ram often goes unused.
The rule of thumb is this... the faster your Video Card, the more likely you will need more VRAM as the faster cards will allow you to take advantage of the extra VRAM more than slower cards.
For Example: Say you have a 5060 with 16GB of VRAM. That extra ram will allow you to turn the graphics on Call of Duty to the max. Everything will be stored in ultra fast VRAM but because the 5060 is slower than the TI version (or 5070,5080,5090) when you turn on all those graphical features, your framerate drops from 90 to 25. If you are fine playing at 25fps then go for it LOL but most people will turn down the graphics to get about 60fps and when you turn down the graphics, you need less VRAM.
8GB is pretty low these days so unless you are on a real strict budget, get at least 12gb if at all possible. If all you are going to be playing is Minecraft or if you are fine running games at 1920x1080 (or lower) and you don't mind having to run games in "Balanced Graphic Mode" then you can get away with a 8gb card just fine.
I hope this helped in a small way explain the controversy over video ram and what is needed vs what is wanted
P.S. The 5060 is too slow to take advantage of more that 8gb of VRAM, the 5060TI, 5070, 5080, 5090 should have 12 or 16GB as they are fast enough to use the extra VRAM (AMD seems to always have more VRAM vs Nvidia so this is often not an issue with them as much) - This is my opinion of course
