I found a 5060 Ti on Amazon priced at $299, but it only has 8GB of RAM. Is this worth buying?

A lot of people nowadays suggest avoiding 8GB cards since newer games are likely to require more VRAM soon. But if the price is right, it can be a decent choice, especially for playing at 1080p. You might want to consider upgrading in a couple of years, though. If you're thinking about longevity, there are options like the 9060 XT with 16GB for around $380 that might save you some hassle down the line!
Honestly, I wouldn't invest in an 8GB card for a new build at this point. The gaming landscape is changing fast and you might find yourself needing more VRAM sooner than you think. It's better to future-proof your system if you can!
I’m just starting out, can you explain why 8GB isn’t enough?
