Overview
- A forum post claimed NVIDIA would ship 9GB versions of the GeForce RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti in late May to early June using three 3GB GDDR7 chips.
- Hours later, leaker MEGAsizeGPU said there is no plan for 9GB RTX 5060 or 5060 Ti and pointed only to a 9GB RTX 5050.
- Add‑in card makers told BenchLife these 9GB 5060 and 5060 Ti models do not appear on their roadmaps and said the suggested launch window does not match normal development timelines.
- BenchLife reports partners now target a 9GB RTX 5050, but the original Computex‑era window has slipped to an unspecified date.
- Technical notes shared in coverage say switching from four 2GB chips to three 3GB chips would narrow the memory bus from 128‑bit to 96‑bit, cutting bandwidth by up to about one quarter, even as Samsung samples 3GB GDDR7 parts that could enable such designs.
