SUMMARY

This review evaluated the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 GAMING OC 8G video card. GIGABYTE has put together an excellent video card at a very fair price. This video card provides a playable gameplay experience at 1080p, when not VRAM limited. The WINDFORCE cooling system works great, and keeps this video card well-cooled, while power efficiency is great. This video card meets the NVIDIA-SFF specs, and with its compact nature, triple-fan design, lower power usage, and cooling, it makes for a great card in a small build. We even found that the card overclocks well gaining nearly 10% performance, while staying cool and quiet. It is more expensive than reference MSRP pricing, but offers just enough to justify the slightly higher pricing.
