Overview
The MSI GeForce RTX™ 5060 8G INSPIRE ITX is the smallest RTX 5060 model to date, combining compact design with powerful performance. Designed for small form factor PCs and mini-ITX builds, it delivers robust 1080p and 1440p gaming and creative workloads without compromising on size or cooling efficiency. This makes it ideal for users seeking a high-performance GPU that fits in tight spaces.
Performance and Specifications
Powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, the card features 3,840 CUDA cores and 8GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, running at 28 Gbps. It clocks up to a boost speed of approximately 2,497 MHz, ensuring smooth gameplay and efficient rendering. Supporting DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation technology, it provides enhanced frame rates and visuals with ray tracing capabilities, making demanding games and creative applications more immersive.
Cooling and Design
Despite its tiny footprint of around 145 x 120 x 45 mm (5.71 x 4.72 x 1.77 inches), the INSPIRE ITX uses MSI’s STORMFORCE cooling technology. It has a single silent fan with a specially designed sunflower copper core that efficiently cools the GPU while maintaining quiet operation. The fan uses a zero-frozr feature to stop spinning at low loads, eliminating noise when idle. The card also includes a sturdy metal backplate with airflow vents, which strengthens the card and improves heat dissipation.
Connectivity
The card provides versatile connection options with three DisplayPort 2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port, allowing multi-monitor setups and support for resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz. These ports support high refresh rates and advanced features like VRR for smooth gaming visuals.
Power and Compatibility
The RTX 5060 INSPIRE ITX requires a single 8-pin power connector and draws about 145 watts, with a recommended PSU of 550W. Its efficient power design and small size make it suitable for compact gaming rigs, workstations, and small PC builds without needing large power supplies or excessive cooling.
Ideal Use Cases
This model is perfect for gamers, creatives, and IT enthusiasts who want powerful GPU performance in the smallest possible package. It’s suited for mini-ITX cases, compact workstations, or living room PCs where space and cooling capacity are limited but performance cannot be compromised.
