The 8GB model of GeForce RTX 5060 Ti<\/a> has faced heavy criticism. Nvidia reportedly even tried to prevent reviews. Tests eventually confirmed that while 8GB is still sufficient for many tasks, an increasing number of games and scenarios now demand more, limiting the GPU\u2019s usability. That’s when reports surfaced that AMD might have reconsidered its plans and possibly cancelled the upcoming Radeon RX 9060 XT model with 8GB memory.<\/p>\n

This claim was made by the YouTube channel Moore\u2019s Law is Dead a week ago\u2014more precisely, Moore\u2019s Law is Dead stated that according to their sources, AMD was at least considering scrapping the 8GB version of the card. Reportedly, several of its sources said that \u201cAMD representatives\u201d had told them this. According to those reports, production or preparations for the 8GB cards had allegedly been paused. Alternatively, the card might still launch officially, but production could be minimal or discontinued soon after. In practice, this would mean only the 16GB version would largely be available.<\/p>\n

The issue with this claim is that allegations of merely \u201cconsidering\u201d something cannot be disproven\u2014even if the 8GB graphics card is eventually released. It would be impossible to prove that AMD never considered such a move. This raises suspicions that such rumors might be fabricated\u2014perhaps even to explain why the RX 9060 XT didn\u2019t launch in April, a release timeframe MLID previously talked about.<\/p>\n

No, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB version will launch…<\/h3>\n

In any case, the Benchlife website \u2013 known for a relatively strong reputation and seemingly credible internal sources \u2013 published an article yesterday directly refuting any reports about the planned or even considered cancellation of the 8GB card. According to Benchlife, reliable sources confirmed that the 8GB Radeon RX 9060 XT is indeed going to be released. The site reports that \u201cthere are no plans to cancel or halt the supply\u201d of the 8GB variant.<\/p>\n

Benchlife\u2019s sources reportedly stated outright that the aforementioned YouTube rumor was likely just speculation, or something based on someone else\u2019s speculative reasoning being shared with MLID. In other words, it was likely just a theory about how AMD might react to the media\u2019s reception of the 8GB GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, without any direct correlation to actual decisions that may or may not have been considered made inside AMD.<\/p>\n
