GPU sales data often highlights interesting patterns such as customer preference, supply availability, variance between regions, and much more. It allows us to gauge not only the current status of the market at large, but also the specific models people are inclined toward. As such, new sales data from Mindfactory.de, spotted by TechPowerUp, tells us that customers are heavily favoring the 16GB variant of the RTX 5060 Ti over its 8GB counterpart.
Mindfactory.de is one of Germany’s largest retailers and the only one with public sales figures. You can see the number of units sold on each of their listings, which includes GPUs from various AIBs and manufacturers. Doing the math, the numbers reveal the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB has sold 1,675 units so far, as compared to only 105 units for the 8GB variant.
Customers are helping outsell the 8GB RTX 5060Ti by over 16 times — which means for every one RTX 5060 Ti 8GB sold, there are sixteen RTX 5060 Ti 16GB flying off the shelves. That chalks up to a 1600% difference across the board, all while both cards are in stock and keeping up with demand. So, there are no availability restraints enabling this purchasing behavior.

Despite the price difference, buyers are regularly choosing the more expensive RTX 5060 Ti simply due to the extra VRAM it has to offer. With new releases getting more demanding and visual additives like ray tracing becoming commonplace, 16GB of VRAM has started to look more lucrative regardless of the cost. It performs better today and will sell more easily tomorrow in the second-hand market.
