MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GAMING OC Graphics Card

What this part is

<p>Unleash next-generation performance and unmatched visual clarity with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 5060 8GB GAMING OC Graphics Card, engineered for gamers and content creators who demand excellence. Powered by the latest NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, this graphics card blends raw power, advanced cooling, and bold aesthetics, making it a dependable ally in the most intense gaming battles and rendering tasks.</p> <p>At its core, the RTX 5060 GAMING OC delivers clock speeds of up to 2640MHz in Extreme Performance Mode (via MSI Center) and 2625MHz Boost Clock, enabling fast and fluid gameplay across modern AAA titles and high-resolution creative workflows. Backed by 3840 CUDA® cores and 8GB of blazing-fast GDDR7 memory at 28Gbps, it ensures high bandwidth and optimal throughput for smooth, immersive experiences. Whether you’re gaming in 4K or multitasking with multiple monitors, this GPU handles it with ease.</p> <p>The upgraded TWIN FROZR 10 thermal design ensures efficient, whisper-quiet cooling. Equipped with STORMFORCE fans—featuring seven claw-textured blades and a circular arc frame—this card maximizes airflow and minimizes noise. A nickel-plated copper baseplate rapidly transfers heat from the GPU and memory, while precision-machined core pipes maintain maximum contact for optimal thermal regulation. A reinforced metal backplate with built-in thermal pads and strategically placed airflow vents aids passive cooling and enhances durability. The WAVE-CURVED 3.0 edges under the fan motors further reduce turbulence and improve overall cooling efficiency.</p> <p>Connectivity is future-ready, with three DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI™ 2.1b port supporting ultra-high resolutions up to 8K @ 120Hz HDR or 4K @ 480Hz, along with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for smooth, tear-free gaming. Supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and NVIDIA G-SYNC®, the card guarantees compatibility with the latest gaming and creative applications. Powered through a single 8-pin connector and consuming only 155W, the RTX 5060 GAMING OC is both performance-efficient and accessible, with a recommended PSU of just 550W.</p> <h3>FEATURES:</h3> <ul> <li>Extreme clock performance: 2640MHz (MSI Center)</li> <li>Boost clock performance: 2625MHz</li> <li>TWIN FROZR 10: Experience superior cooling and quieter performance</li> <li>STORMFORCE Fan: Seven fan blades, claw texturing, and a circular arc are designed for optimal airflow</li> <li>Nickel-plated Copper Baseplate: Heat from the GPU and memory is swiftly captured by a nickel-plated copper baseplate</li> <li>Core Pipes feature a square design to maximize contact with the GPU baseplate for optimal thermal management</li> <li>Metal Backplate: A reinforcing metal backplate with airflow vents and thermal pads enhances cooling</li> <li>WAVE-CURVED 3.0: Additional efficiency is gained by adjusting the size of the wave edges under the fan motor</li> </ul> <h3>SPECIFICATIONS:</h3> <ul> <li>Graphics Processing Unit: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060</li> <li>Interface: PCI Express® Gen 5 x16 pin(uses x8)</li> <li>Core Clocks: Extreme Performance: 2640 MHz (MSI Center) | Boost: 2625 MHz</li> <li>CUDA® CORES: 3840 Units</li> <li>Memory Speed: 28Gbps</li> <li>Memory: 8GB GDDR7</li> <li>Memory Bus: 128-bit</li> <li><strong>Output:</strong> <ul> <li>DisplayPort x 3 (v2.1b)</li> <li>HDMI™ x 1 (Supports 4K@480Hz HDR,</li> <li>8K@120Hz HDR, and Variable Refresh Rate as specified in HDMI™ 2.1b)</li> </ul> </li> <li>HDCP Support: Y</li> <li>Power consumption: 155 W</li> <li>Power connectors: 8-pin x 1</li> <li>Recommended PSU: 550 W</li> <li>DirectX Version Support: 12 Ultimate</li> <li>OpenGL Version Support: 4.6</li> <li>Maximum Displays: 4</li> <li>G-SYNC® Technology: Y</li> <li>Digital Maximum Resolution: 7680 x 4320</li> <li>Card Dimension: 24.8 x 13.5 x 4.1 cm</li> <li>Card Weight: 649 g</li> </ul> <h3>WHAT'S IN THE BOX:</h3> <ul> <li>MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GAMING OC Graphics Card x1</li> </ul>
