Tom's Hardware compared NVIDIA's 8GB and 16GB RTX 5060 Ti cards, which share the same chip and clock speeds, across 21 games and found the 8GB model averaged 2.3% slower at 1080p medium settings but 12% slower at ultra, with minimum frame rates down 16%. Hardware Unboxed reported a bigger gap in The Last of Us Part II (67fps vs 109fps at 1080p very high) and said Indiana Jones and the Great Circle crashed on the 8GB card at 1080p ultra.

MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts) lets a device like a GPU notify the CPU of an interrupt by writing to a memory address rather than fighting for space on a shared physical hardware line. Windows 10 and 11 default to MSI-X, an expanded version introduced with PCI 3.0 in 2010, whenever a device supports it. This approach labels each interrupt with its source, avoiding the collisions that can occur on crowded shared IRQ lines.
