Performance and Specifications

The GAMING OC variant features 3,840 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR7 memory operating at a blistering 28 Gbps on a 128-bit memory interface. It boasts a high boost clock speed of 2,625 MHz (2,640 MHz in MSI Center Extreme mode), ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay. The card supports advanced features like DLSS 4 and real-time ray tracing for lifelike lighting and reflections, enhancing both gaming and creative experiences.

Cooling and Design

MSI’s signature TWIN FROZR 10 cooling solution powers this card, featuring a dual-fan design with seven fan blades each, claw texturing, and a circular arc for optimal airflow and reduced noise. The nickel-plated copper baseplate rapidly absorbs heat from the GPU and memory, transferred efficiently via core pipes engineered to maximize contact with the GPU baseplate. A robust metal backplate with airflow vents adds structural strength and boosts thermal performance, while the WAVE-CURVED 3.0 design enhances fan efficiency in low airflow areas.

Connectivity

This model supports up to four simultaneous displays through three DisplayPort 2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port, allowing resolutions up to 8K at 120Hz with HDR and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology. It also features full HDCP support, making it suitable for the latest multimedia setups.

Power and Compatibility

With a total board power consumption of 155 watts, the RTX 5060 GAMING OC requires a single 8-pin power connector, and MSI recommends a 550W power supply for stable operation. Its size measures 248 x 135 x 41 mm, fitting comfortably in most mid-tower and larger gaming cases.
