SUMMARY

The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8G GAMING OC offers MSI's highest factory overclock in the GeForce RTX 5060 Series lineup this generation from MSI. It offers that factory overclock in a very small package, making it highly compatible with PC builds, and it runs very quiet thanks to the TWIN FROZR 10 thermal cooling configuration. It has great overclocking potential for such a small package as well, with low power and low noise. It provides a performance uplift from the previous generation, acting as an upgrade from the previous gen, or prior gens, and even from the competition's last gen video cards as well. The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8G GAMING OC is a solid offering from MSI this generation.
