Product Info MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Gaming OCMay, 2025 TypeGraphics Card Price$369.99 It's been two years since NVIDIA introduced its Ada Lovelace GPUs, kicking things off with the RTX 4090 and finishing up the initial lineup with the SUPER family At CES, the company unveiled its new RTX 50 "Blackwell" family which features a brand new architecture and several changes such as new cores, AI accelerators, new memory standards, and the latest video/display capabilities. Today, NVIDIA releases its 6th entry within its "RTX 50" portfolio, the GeForce RTX 5060. The RTX 5060 is positioned in the entry-level segment, with an MSRP of $299 US and a factory-equipped 8 GB of VRAM, which might seem a bit too little for today's standards. Today, we will be trying out the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Gaming OC, which retails for $70 US above the MSRP.

The Blackwell GPU does many traditional things that we would expect from a GPU, but simultaneously breaks the barrier when it comes to untraditional GPU operations. To sum up some features: New Streaming Multiprocessor (SM) New 5th Gen Tensor Cores New 4th Gen RT (Ray Tracing) Cores AI Management Processor Max-Q Mode for Desktops & Laptops New GDDR7 High-Performance Memory Subsystem New DP2.1b Display Engine & Next-Gen NVENC/NVDEC 2 of 9 The technologies mentioned above are some of the main building blocks of the Blackwell GPU, but there's more within the graphics core itself, which we will talk about in detail, so let's get started.
