It’s getting hard to take the tech world seriously these days, not least the PC gaming hardware market. Prices have become so utterly ludicrous across the board—from the soaring cost of RAM and SSDs, to the spiking GPU and system prices—that it’s hard to get your head around when something actually becomes more affordable.
Like, I’m struggling to really get a bead on exactly why the MSI RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB over at Newegg is now just $330. That’s comfortably under the MSRP of $379 it launched at last year and somewhat inconceivably that’s also cheaper than any RTX 5060 I can find at any legit (or even an illegit) retailer.
This particular MSI GPU has never been priced this low, and looking at our price tracking from August 2025 thru to today, it’s only once before that we’ve seen any RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB card $10 lower than this. And that most certainly was not this year.
Now, I know what you’re going to say… ‘an 8 GB graphics card in 2025?!‘ But honestly this is the most performant 8 GB GPU you can pick up. We’ve done the testing, well, Andy has done the testing, and you can still get a great gaming performance out of the 8 GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti versus its $240 more expensive 16 GB variant.
