The video reveals that halving the VRAM significantly affects performance in several notable games and hampers the effectiveness of multi-frame generation, the RTX 50 series' standout feature.

To be fair, the 8GB RTX 5060 Ti holds its own against the 16GB model in synthetic benchmarks and many titles, including Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (at reasonable settings), Counter-Strike 2, Resident Evil 4, Forza Horizon 5, F1 24, Call of Duty, and even Alan Wake 2. However, performance gaps do emerge in more demanding scenarios.
