Gigabyte GeForce RTX™ 5060 Eagle OC ICE (8GB GDDR7)

Description

Eagle OC ICE: A White Build Option, Not a Performance Tier

It’s worth being upfront about where the ICE edition sits: the Eagle OC ICE shares every specification with the standard Eagle OC black variant — 2550 MHz boost clock, 3,840 CUDA cores, 8GB GDDR7 at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus, PCIe 5.0, the same WINDFORCE Hawk fan cooler, the same PCB. The defining difference is the white shroud and fan frame, making it the natural choice for white or light-themed builds where a black GPU would look out of place against white cases, white motherboards, and white RAM. If the build colour doesn’t matter to you, either Eagle OC variant performs identically.

Blackwell RTX 5060 Performance

The 2550 MHz factory overclock sits above the 2497 MHz reference and above the WINDFORCE OC’s 2512 MHz, delivering 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth from 8GB of GDDR7 across a 128-bit bus — the same figure as every other RTX 5060. NVIDIA Blackwell brings fourth-generation RT Cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores, along with DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, NVIDIA Reflex 2 with Frame Warp, and the full NVIDIA Studio creative acceleration stack. The RTX 5060 is well-suited to 1080p gaming and strong at 1440p with DLSS enabled.

WINDFORCE Hawk Fan Cooling

The WINDFORCE cooling system uses Hawk fans and server-grade thermal conductive gel — the same thermal stack as the black Eagle OC. Hawk fans deliver 53.6% higher air pressure and 12.5% more air volume than conventional axial designs through their eagle-wing-inspired blade geometry, and graphene nano lubricant extends bearing life by 2.1× while reducing noise. 3D Active Fan technology keeps the fans off entirely during low-load and low-power scenarios, with automatic spin-up when gaming begins. A reinforced structure supports the PCB and prevents sag in horizontal builds.

Build Integration and Connectivity

The card measures 208 × 120 × 40 mm in a 2-slot form factor, fitting standard mid-tower and micro-ATX cases. Display outputs include 3× DisplayPort 2.1b and 1× HDMI 2.1b, supporting up to 4 simultaneous displays at 7680×4320. A single 8-pin PCIe power connector and a 550W PSU are recommended. The interface is PCIe 5.0, operating at x8 electrically, fully backwards compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 motherboards.

⚠️ ICE vs Eagle OC: The ICE edition is the white-coloured version of the Eagle OC. Every specification — boost clock, cooler, TDP, outputs — is identical. Choose based on your build’s colour theme.

⚠️ No RGB: Neither the ICE nor the standard Eagle OC includes RGB lighting. The white shroud is a fixed colour, not addressable. If you want RGB, the Gaming OC is the relevant GIGABYTE RTX 5060 variant.

⚠️ 8GB GDDR7 note: Strong at 1080p and capable at 1440p with DLSS enabled. The 128-bit bus and 8GB VRAM will limit native 4K at maximum settings in texture-heavy AAA titles — DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation is the recommended path to smooth 4K.

⚠️ PCIe compatibility: PCIe 5.0 card operating at x8 electrical. Fully backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 slots with no performance penalty at this tier.
