What about 8GB GPUs like the RTX 5060 — are they obsolete already?

Mainstream coverage and r/nvidia / r/hardware threads consistently describe the 8GB RTX 5060 as a 'mixed bag' — fine at 1080p with DLSS 4, but already running into VRAM ceilings in newer titles at higher settings. Most reviewers recommend stretching to a 16GB card (such as the RX 9060 XT 16GB) if budget allows.
