News Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and 5060 graphics card roundup: Every announced card from every AIB partner

[Admin]

RTX 5060 series cards consist of triple-fan and dual-fan solutions, as well as unorthodox options such as a single-fan option from Zotac, a low-profile variant from Gigabyte, and some Gigabyte models with a physical x8 PCIe finger.RTX 5060 series cards consist of triple-fan and dual fan solutions, as well as unorthodox options such as a single fan option from Zotac, a low-profile variant from Gigabyte, and some Gigabyte models with a physical x8 PCIe finger.

Gigabyte is the only one offering anything remotely interesting with their low-profile card.

However, I am unconvinced their x8 slot cards with the massive overhang from the heatsink.
I'll be waiting to hear how well they handle being shipped in a case without a locking tab and the fulcrum point being at the middle of the slot.

As for MSI and Asus... C'mon, it's a 200W card, how poorly do you have to design a heatsink so it no longer fits in 2-slots? 🙄

I am likewise super skeptical about the x8 connector. It just seems like some bean counter said, "Hey, we can save literally two cents per GPU by doing this!" There are so many reasons this isn't a good idea.

The larger than two slots cards are almost certainly just reusing heatsinks from higher tier models. And some people would rather have a 2.5-slot (or whatever) card running 5C cooler, even if it's overkill. I wouldn't pay $50 extra for that, but maybe $10–$20 would be okay if I have room in my case.

I wish you would've mentioned in the roundup, at least in passing, that nVidia is not allowing partners to send review samples to media of the 8GB siblings and only sending out 16GB 5060Tis.

I hope reviewers can simulate the 8GB card in some way (Ti variant) so people does not go in blind to buy them. This is such a scummy move. At least nVidia should allow any media outlets to buy a sample ahead of release for reviewing purposes, but not even that.

The other way to interpret that is just nVidia saying and silently admitting the 8GB models are DOA? At least, at the MSRP, they most definitely are I'd say.

I'd rather wait for AMD and see what they do with the 9060 siblings.

Regards.

MSI's website store (at least in US) doesn't even have non ti options on side & only list 2 actual models (1 of each 8 and 16gb ti models)

....so wheres the rest of these shown models?

I agree completely that this should be stated at the start of all coverage for the 5060 Ti. I'm sure Jarred will mention it in the review, but it should definitely be everywhere.

I don't think there's any way to feasibly simulate the loss of VRAM. I do think it would be reasonable for reviewers to state nobody should buy the 8GB model though.

The store only shows stuff MSI plans to sell directly. The main website lists 26 models right now for 5060 Ti.
