As I said in our last graphics card review, it seems like right now is the worst time to buy a graphics card. We have looming tariffs, somewhat phantom MSRPs, hardly any availability, and much more. But there are many people who are currently looking to upgrade or are building a new PC and of course need a graphics card. While NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 has been quite popular, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is definitely going to shake up the mid-range market. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti makes use of NVIDIA’s GB206 silicon offering 4608 CUDA cores, 36 RT cores, 144 tensor cores, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The interesting thing here is that you are going to see two variants of this card, an 8GB model and a 16GB model. Both models will feature GDDR7 memory that runs across a 128-bit memory interface. The base clock of the card is set at 2407 MHz while it will boost up to 2572 MHz. Today we are taking a look at the ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC Edition 16GB. So not only are we getting that 16GB of VRAM, but also a nice factory overclock (2617 MHz GPU boost), a triple fan cooling solution, full-cover backplate, and so much more!
Special thanks to ASUS for providing us with the Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC Edition 16GB Graphics Card to review.

Packaging of the ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC Edition 16GB
The Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC Edition 16GB comes in the typical ASUS graphics card box. On the front we have a picture of the card and it does let us know we have the OC Edition.
Flipping over to the back many of the different features of the card are detailed and we have a run-down of the ports on the card.
Getting everything out of the box we have the card itself, a Velcro cable tie, and a quick start guide.
