Overview
The MSI GeForce RTX™ 5060 8G VENTUS 3X is a high-performance graphics card engineered to deliver exceptional gaming and creative performance with a focus on robust cooling and reliable design. It features a sleek, functional aesthetic and is designed to handle demanding 1080p and 1440p workloads with ease.
Performance and Specifications
Built on NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell architecture, the card features 3,840 CUDA cores paired with 8GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit memory bus. It offers a boost clock speed of up to 2,497 MHz, with an Extreme Performance mode that can push clocks to 2,512 MHz via MSI Center. This combination delivers smooth gameplay and efficient rendering, benefiting from DLSS 4 and real-time ray tracing capabilities for enhanced visuals and improved frame rates.
Cooling and Design
The VENTUS 3X incorporates MSI’s TORX Fan 5.0 triple-fan cooling system, which improves airflow by 23% over traditional axial fans through linked fan blades stabilized by ring arcs. A solid baseplate efficiently transfers heat from the GPU to an array of heat pipes for improved thermal performance, while the sturdy metal backplate with airflow vents allows heat to escape more effectively, maintaining lower temperatures and stable operation. The card’s dimensions are 304 x 121 x 44 mm, with a weight of around 860 grams.
Connectivity
It supports three DisplayPort 2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port, enabling up to four displays simultaneously with resolutions up to 8K at 120Hz with Display Stream Compression (DSC). These ports support advanced features such as Gaming VRR and HDR for vibrant and smooth visuals.
Power and Compatibility
The card draws approximately 145 watts of power via a single 8-pin connector, with a recommended 550W power supply for optimal stability. It uses the PCI Express Gen 5 x16 (x8 electrical) interface to ensure compatibility with the latest motherboards and high data bandwidth.
Additional Features
MSI Center software allows users to monitor, tweak, and optimize performance in real-time, while MSI Afterburner enables full overclocking control. The custom PCB features additional fuses for enhanced electrical protection, and DrMos power stages for efficiency and voltage control.
