Asus Prime GeForce RTX™ 5060 OC (8GB, GDDR7)

Description

Triple-Fan Cooling, Higher Clocks, Prime Build Quality

The ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5060 OC is the better-cooled, higher-clocked sibling to the Dual RTX 5060 OC, upgrading from a dual-fan to a triple Axial-tech fan configuration across a longer 268.3 mm PCB while maintaining the same 2.5-slot thermal footprint. The three fans use ASUS’s barrier ring Axial-tech design for increased downward air pressure and airflow uniformity across the full heatsink surface — enabling the higher 2595 MHz OC mode boost clock with sustained thermal stability. At 30 MHz above the Dual OC’s boost in OC mode, the Prime OC sits at the top of ASUS’s standard RTX 5060 clock speed range ahead of any manual tuning.

ASUS Prime series components — Super Alloy Power II premium alloy chokes, solid polymer capacitors, high-current power stages — and the Auto-Extreme fully automated manufacturing process contribute to power delivery stability and long-term reliability that makes this card well-suited to builds that run long, demanding gaming sessions or content creation workloads. ASUS GPU Tweak III with MuseTree provides real-time monitoring, performance tuning, and AI-enhanced performance management, while the GeForce Game Ready Driver and NVIDIA Studio Driver ensure compatibility across both gaming and creative professional workflows.

⚠️ The RTX 5060 uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 electrical interface. On PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 platforms this has no meaningful gaming performance impact. On PCIe 3.0 platforms the effective bandwidth is equivalent to PCIe 3.0 x4 — verify compatibility for legacy platform builds.

⚠️ The card is 268.3 mm long — longer than the Dual RTX 5060 OC (228 mm) and some compact Mini-ITX or SFF cases may have clearance constraints. Verify your case’s maximum GPU length specification before ordering.

⚠️ The 128-bit bus and 8 GB GDDR7 frame buffer are well-matched to 1080p high/ultra and 1440p with DLSS. At native 1440p or 4K maximum quality without DLSS, bandwidth and VRAM will constrain performance in the most demanding titles — DLSS 4 Quality or Balanced mode is the recommended approach for those resolutions.

💡 DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation is the RTX 5060 generation’s headline advantage over RTX 30 and RTX 40 series at comparable price points. In supported titles, DLSS 4 can generate up to three additional frames per rendered frame — delivering significantly higher effective frame rates than the GPU’s raw rasterisation throughput suggests.

Technical Specifications

The RTX 5060 uses NVIDIA’s GB206 Blackwell GPU with 3840 CUDA cores and 614 AI TOPs from 5th-generation Tensor cores. The 8 GB GDDR7 frame buffer runs at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus. The Prime OC’s clocks are 2595 MHz boost in OC mode and 2565 MHz in default mode — 30 MHz higher than the Dual OC in both modes. Outputs are 3× DisplayPort 2.1b and 1× HDMI 2.1b with HDCP 2.3, supporting up to four simultaneous displays at up to 7680×4320@60Hz. A single 8-pin PCIe power connector is required with a 550W system PSU recommended.
