Overview

The MSI GeForce RTX™ 5060 8G SHADOW 2X OC is a performance-focused graphics card designed for gamers and creators who want a balance of power, cooling efficiency, and value. Built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, it delivers strong 1080p and 1440p gaming performance with support for advanced technologies like DLSS 4 and full ray tracing, making it ideal for immersive gaming and creative workflows.

Performance and Specifications

The card features 3,840 CUDA cores and 8GB of high-speed GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps over a 128-bit memory bus. It operates with a boost clock of 2,527 MHz, reaching up to 2,535 MHz in Extreme Performance mode via MSI Center software. This ensures smooth gameplay and responsive rendering in modern titles and creative applications. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and G-SYNC® technology for tear-free, high-refresh-rate gaming.

Cooling and Design

The SHADOW 2X OC uses a dual-fan thermal design with MSI’s TORX Fan 5.0 technology. Ring arcs connect sets of tilted fan blades to increase airflow by up to 23% compared to standard axial fans, improving both cooling and pressure. Heat pipes efficiently transfer heat away from the GPU, while a ventilated metal backplate enhances structural rigidity and airflow. The compact dimensions of 197 x 120 x 40 mm make it compatible with a wide range of mid-tower cases.

Connectivity

It offers three DisplayPort 2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port, supporting up to four displays simultaneously with resolutions up to 8K (7680 x 4320). The HDMI 2.1b port supports advanced features like HDR, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and high refresh rates up to 4K at 480Hz or 8K at 120Hz with Display Stream Compression (DSC).

Power and Compatibility

With a power draw of 145 watts, the card requires a single 8-pin power connector and is recommended to be paired with a 550W power supply. Its PCIe 5.0 x16 interface (running at x8 electrical) ensures compatibility with modern motherboards while providing sufficient bandwidth for high-performance tasks.

Ideal Use

The RTX 5060 8G SHADOW 2X OC is perfect for gamers building or upgrading a mid-range gaming PC, offering excellent performance in popular titles at high settings. It also serves content creators well, accelerating video editing, 3D rendering, and graphic design through NVIDIA Studio drivers and RTX-powered AI tools.
