Overview

The MSI GeForce RTX™ 5060 8G SHADOW 2X is a performance-focused graphics card designed to deliver an excellent gaming experience with reliable power and efficient cooling. It is an ideal choice for gamers upgrading or building a new rig, combining solid performance with a compact, dual-fan design.

Performance and Specifications

Powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, the SHADOW 2X features 3,840 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit memory interface. The card operates with a boost clock speed of up to 2,497 MHz and an extreme performance mode clock of 2,512 MHz accessible through MSI Center for enhanced performance. It supports cutting-edge features like DLSS 4 and real-time ray tracing to improve frame rates and visual quality.

Cooling and Design

The dual-fan cooling system incorporates MSI’s TORX Fan 5.0 technology with ring arcs linking multiple fan blades to stabilize and increase airflow by 23% compared to traditional fans. Heat pipes efficiently transfer thermal energy away from the GPU, aided by a reinforced ventilated backplate that allows exhaust air to pass through, maintaining low temperatures and structural strength. Zero Frozr technology ensures the fans stop at low loads for noiseless operation.

Connectivity

It supports three DisplayPort 2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port, enabling up to four displays with a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320 (8K). HDMI supports high refresh rates up to 120Hz, Gaming VRR, and HDR for smooth and vibrant visuals.

Power and Compatibility

The card draws 145 watts from a single 8-pin power connector, with a recommended 550W PSU for stable performance. Its dimensions of 197 x 120 x 40 mm and weight of approximately 493 grams make it compatible with a wide range of cases.

Additional Features

MSI Center software provides real-time monitoring, tweaking, and optimization. MSI Afterburner offers comprehensive overclocking and system control for enthusiasts.
