AI Notes
The RTX 5060 Ti 8GB offers Blackwell architecture at an accessible price, but its 8GB VRAM is the main constraint for AI workloads. It can run 7B-parameter models at Q4 quantization comfortably, though larger models will require heavy quantization or CPU offloading. Best suited for smaller models and experimentation.
