Should I Choose the 8GB or 16GB Version of the 9060 GPU?
Asked by

I'm looking to upgrade my setup as I'm moving from an Asus laptop and I'm using an older build from my grandpa that's about five years old. I'm planning to install a 9060 GPU and I've come across some really negative reviews about the 8GB version. My current setup includes an H510M-E R1 motherboard, an Intel i5 11600 CPU, a 650W PSU, and 16GB of DDR4 3200 RAM. Should I opt for the 8GB or the 16GB version of the GPU?

Definitely the 16GB option. The extra RAM makes a big difference, especially with newer titles coming out. 8GB is becoming quite limiting; you’ll regret it sooner than you think.

Without a doubt, you should pick the 16GB. I’ve seen many folks struggle with 8GB on current games, and the performance just isn’t the same. Plus, it’ll keep you future-ready!

You really can’t go wrong with the 16GB version. Just remember, 8GB in 2026? That doesn't feel great at all. Future-proofing is key when you're investing in a GPU.

I would go for the 16GB version. The 8GB version might save you some cash, but it really won’t hold up for too long with the latest games. Plus, the 16GB option is way better for playing at 1440p without any hiccups.

16GB is the way to go. If you're worrying about lasting power, 16GB ensures you won’t fall behind easily. That being said, keep an eye on the PSU; 650W could end up being a bit tight with this setup.
