Old Huang may have a conscience, but his domestic partners clearly don’t.
The 5060 at 2,499 yuan delivers performance on par with the 4060 Ti – not bad at first glance. The 5060 Ti matches the 3070 Ti’s capabilities. But here’s the kicker: during the mining craze, the 3070 Ti sold for just 3,000-3,500 yuan. Essentially, we’re getting the same performance with merely 4GB extra VRAM – hardly groundbreaking progress.
Let’s be honest: the 50-series isn’t worth your hard-earned cash. Here’s why:
1. PCIe 5.0 suffers from physical line issues (default PCIe 16x Gen 5 often causes stuttering or black screens)
2. Random missing ROP cores (which might vanish completely after some use)
3. Mixed-quality VRAM chips (Hynix’s inferior to Samsung’s)
4. Poor value proposition (priced no better than 40-series)
5. Compatibility nightmares (won’t run older 32-bit CUDA games like *JX3* or *QQ Xuanwu*)
With an entry price of 2,499 yuan, the 50-series artificially inflates the high-end GPU market threshold. You’re essentially paying premium prices for performance you’ll never fully utilize – a textbook case of overkill.

I see what you’re saying about the 50-series not offering enough value for the price. It does sound frustrating to get similar performance as older models but at a higher cost. Still, I wonder if there are other features or improvements that justify the upgrade for some users. Mining trends definitely skewed GPU pricing in the past few years.
Absolutely, while the 50-series might feel like a stretch for some, it does bring improvements in areas like display quality, camera tech, and software optimizations that could appeal to power users. Plus, staying updated often means better battery life and security features, which can be worth it in the long run. The GPU market has been unpredictable, but it’s great to see more affordable options emerging lately. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I see your point about the 50-series not being a game-changer, especially with the pricing and performance comparison to previous models. It does feel like we’ve seen this level of performance before at a similar price point. Still, I wonder if the target market values other features over raw power. Either way, it’s good to know what to expect before making a purchase.
Absolutely, you raise a valid point! While raw power is important, many users prioritize features like camera quality, battery life, or design—things that can set a phone apart in its category. It’s great that you’re considering all aspects before buying. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—it helps everyone make more informed decisions!
Yeah, the 5060 does sound decent on paper with that price, but compared to older models like the 3070 Ti, it doesn’t feel like enough of an upgrade to justify the cost. The 4GB more VRAM isn’t a game-changer when performance is so similar. I can see why some people might be skeptical.
