Upgraded from the 1080 TI to this, and it was well worth it for my use cases.

Local AIs:
They run much, much faster, both image generators as well as LLMs. GPT-OSS is a good example, I can now fit triple the context, have no offloading (all on GPU), and runs many times faster than before, the 16GB VRAM is a beast.

Sound:
No complaints, haven't heard it once since I put it in, it runs incredibly quiet (I could hear my 1080ti almost every gaming session lol, so 100% improvement), no buzzing either

Gaming:
There were very few games I played that my 1080ti couldn't already run at max settings 1080p@60fps, but it's cool to finally be able to enjoy ray tracing in all its glory, and everything still runs at 60fps (or close to it if you are running a very heavy game, DLSS jumps in fine for those scenarios), so I have 0 complaints. PC is also running slightly cooler in general

Linux:
Support is great, I haven't had any driver issues on Linux Mint (although I had to delete the old ones, but after that Mint detected I needed new ones and it was a painless 1-click install process)

Overall, I am happy with my purchase, this beast should last ages before requiring an upgrade

I bought this card specifically to run my ComfyUI (AI) workflows, I did my research and found it to be the best balance for my work. I was surprised to find out that this RTX 5060 ti exceeded the performance I was expecting by a considerable margin.

This product is extremely well suited for running AI workflows, and playing pc games.

The card has good performance, but mine has very audible coil whine.

Some more premium versions might not have this, there are other alternatives to.
