GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB Price, VRAM & Local LLMs
Price alert
We'll email you when the eBay (US) price reaches your target.
NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Ti 8GB (2025) is an entry-level gaming card whose 8GB of VRAM is only enough for models up to 9B at 4-bit; a 12B has to drop to 2-bit. It uses the same chip as the 16GB version, so if a listing just says “5060 Ti”, ask about the VRAM first.

What LLMs can a single GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB run?
A single RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is best with models up to 9B at 4-bit, running Gemma 4 E4B at about 62 tokens/s. A 12B works only at 2-bit and 27B-class dense models don't fit; 30B-class MoE models rely on system RAM to hold their experts.

RunsFits fully in VRAM; speed is estimated from VRAM bandwidth.
Needs RAM offloadMoE only: expert weights sit in system RAM, so speed is estimated from 70 GB/s RAM bandwidth.
Too bigWon’t fit on one card at this quantization, even with RAM offload.
Full calculation rules are on the Methodology page.
Who it suits
Good fit
- You only run small models up to 9B
Qwen3.5 9B at 4-bit fits entirely on the card with 54K of context
- You often feed it long documents
It has 20% more cores than the RTX 5060, so it processes prompts faster, while generation speed is the same on both cards
- Your power supply is limited
The card draws 180W, NVIDIA recommends a 600W power supply for the system, and it takes a single 8-pin connector
Not a good fit
- You plan to run bigger models later
The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, built on the same chip, fits a 12B even at 8-bit, while the 8GB version can't fit a 12B even at 4-bit
- You want 30B-class MoE models entirely on the card
Even at 2-bit, Qwen3.6 35B A3B is 12.3 GB, so its experts have to go in system RAM
Before you buy
Only 8 PCIe lanes
It's wired for only 8 PCIe lanes. On a PCIe 5.0 motherboard that's as wide as 4.0 x16; on a PCIe 4.0 board it drops to 4.0 x8, and on PCIe 3.0 to just 3.0 x8. Once a model is in VRAM, little traffic goes over PCIe, so this mostly affects loading speed.
Make sure you have enough system RAM for MoE
On an 8GB card, a 30B-class MoE model keeps most of its experts in system RAM. Qwen3.6 35B A3B at 4-bit totals 22.1 GB, so after what fits in VRAM it still needs well over 10 GB of RAM, and if your RAM can't hold that, it won't start. Generation speed then depends mainly on RAM bandwidth, so DDR5 platforms are faster than DDR4.
