Gigabyte GeForce RTX™ 5060 Low Profile OC (8GB GDDR7)

Description

Full RTX 5060 Performance, Half-Height Form Factor

The RTX 5060 OC Low Profile delivers all the performance of a full-sized RTX 5060 card, in half the volume. That means 3,840 CUDA cores on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, 8GB of GDDR7 at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus, boosted to 2512 MHz — the same clock as the standard WINDFORCE OC — in a card measuring just 182 mm. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, NVIDIA Reflex 2 with Frame Warp, fourth-generation RT Cores, and fifth-generation Tensor Cores are all fully supported. There’s no performance concession made for the compact form factor — the silicon and clocks are identical to the full-size variants.

Triple-Fan Low-Profile Cooling — A Rare Combination

Most low-profile graphics cards squeeze two fans into the half-height PCB. This card takes a different approach, fitting three fans across the 182 mm length, each using graphene nano lubricant to extend sleeve bearing life by 2.1 times compared to standard bearings, while running quieter. The thermal stack combines a copper plate with direct GPU contact and composite copper heat pipes to transfer heat rapidly to the heatsink, supplemented by server-grade thermal conductive gel over the GPU die and memory modules. Under sustained gaming load, temperatures in the 80–85°C range are normal for a card of this size — adequate chassis airflow helps significantly, and is advisable for any SFF build running a 145W GPU.

Power Delivery and Build Quality

Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs on the PCB reduce switching resistance for faster charge/discharge cycles at lower temperatures, improving power delivery efficiency — a meaningful detail in a thermally constrained design. A single 8-pin PCIe power connector handles the 145W TDP, and a 450W PSU is all that’s required — making this an accessible upgrade for compact pre-built systems and slim desktops that typically ship with modest power supplies. A low-profile bracket is included in the box alongside the standard ATX bracket for genuine dual-format compatibility.

Display Outputs and Connectivity

The card’s output panel carries 1× DisplayPort 2.1b, 1× DisplayPort 1.4a, and 1× HDMI 2.1, supporting up to 4 simultaneous displays at a maximum resolution of 7680×4320. The interface is PCIe 5.0, operating electrically at x8, fully backwards compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 platforms.

⚠️ Dual-slot low-profile: Despite the half-height PCB, this card occupies 2 slots. Verify that your SFF or slim chassis has two adjacent low-profile expansion slots available before purchasing.

⚠️ DisplayPort version note: Display outputs include one DisplayPort 2.1b and one DisplayPort 1.4a — not all three ports are DP 2.1b. DP 1.4a supports up to 8K@60Hz with DSC but lacks the higher refresh-rate bandwidth of 2.1b. Plan your monitor connections accordingly. B&H Photo Video

⚠️ Thermal expectations: Under sustained full gaming load, temperatures of 80–85°C are typical for this form factor. Ensure your SFF or slim chassis has adequate airflow near the GPU expansion slots — passive or restricted cases will see higher temperatures.

⚠️ External power required: A single 8-pin PCIe power connector is required. This card is not bus-powered. Confirm your PSU has a free 8-pin cable and meets the 450W minimum recommendation.

⚠️ 8GB GDDR7 note: Excellent for 1080p and strong at 1440p with DLSS enabled. Native 4K at maximum settings will push against the 8GB VRAM ceiling on texture-heavy titles.
