Features

• Powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4
• Core Clocks:
  Extreme Performance: 2512 MHz (MSI Center)
  Boost: 2497 MHz
• TWIN FROZR 10: Experience superior cooling and quieter performance with MSI’s enhanced fan blade design.
• STORMFORCE Fan: Seven fan blades, claw texturing, and a circular arc are designed for optimal airflow with minimal noise.
• Nickel-plated Copper Baseplate: Heat from the GPU and memory is swiftly captured by a nickel-plated copper baseplate and transferred.
• Core Pipes feature a square design to maximize contact with the GPU baseplate for optimal thermal management.
• Metal Backplate: A reinforcing metal backplate with airflow vents and thermal pads enhances cooling.
• WAVE-CURVED 3.0: Additional efficiency is gained by adjusting the size of the wave edges under the fan motor and other spots where there is less airflow.
• MSI Center: The exclusive MSI Center software lets you monitor, tweak and optimize MSI products in real-time.
• Afterburner software takes full control with the most recognized and widely used graphics card overclocking software in the world.

Performance and Specifications

Equipped with 3,840 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit interface, the card offers a boost clock speed around 2,497 MHz. It supports NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 technology and real-time ray tracing for enhanced game visuals and smooth frame rates. This ensures an immersive experience in the latest games and quicker processing for demanding applications.

Cooling and Design

The card uses MSI’s advanced TWIN FROZR 10 cooling system featuring dual fans with seven-blade designs optimized for airflow and minimized noise. A nickel-plated copper baseplate efficiently draws heat away from the GPU core and memory, while heat pipes and a ventilated metal backplate further dissipate heat effectively. MSI’s WAVE-CURVED 3.0 fan blade design enhances cooling efficiency in tight airflow conditions.

Connectivity

Connectivity includes three DisplayPort 2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port, supporting up to four displays simultaneously with resolutions up to 8K at 120Hz. HDMI 2.1b supports advanced features like HDR and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for a seamless visual experience in both gaming and media playback.

Power and Compatibility

This model consumes about 155 watts and requires a single 8-pin power connector. MSI recommends a 550W power supply for consistent and stable performance. Measuring 248 x 135 x 41 mm, the card fits comfortably in standard mid-tower gaming cases and supports PCIe Gen 5 x16 (x8 electrical) interface for high bandwidth.

Ideal Use

The RTX 5060 8G GAMING is ideal for gamers who want strong out-of-the-box performance with efficient cooling, making it suitable for both gaming and creative desktop builds. It offers a balance of aesthetics, power, and thermal management to handle demanding workloads effectively.
