Performance & Use-Case Information

1080p Gaming

The RTX 5060 Ti performance class is suited to high-quality and high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming, depending on the game and system.

1440p Gaming

The card is also applicable to 1440p gaming, with performance varying according to graphics settings, ray tracing and supported upscaling or frame-generation features.

16GB Video Memory

This version provides twice the graphics-memory capacity of the 8GB RTX 5060 Ti configuration, which can be useful in memory-heavy games and compatible creator workloads.

Blackwell Architecture

NVIDIA Blackwell provides the current RTX 50-series graphics architecture with current-generation Tensor and ray-tracing hardware.

DLSS Technologies

Compatible games can use current NVIDIA DLSS technologies for AI-assisted image reconstruction, ray reconstruction and supported frame-generation features.

Creator Applications

NVIDIA CUDA, Tensor and RTX hardware can accelerate compatible rendering, video, AI and other GPU-compute applications.

Cooling & Card Design

Dual Axial-tech Fans

ASUS uses two Axial-tech fans designed to provide concentrated airflow through the heatsink while keeping the card relatively compact.

2.5-Slot Cooler

The 50 mm-thick cooler occupies 2.5 expansion slots, providing additional heatsink volume compared with thinner dual-slot designs.

Compact 229 mm Length

At 229 mm long, the card is easier to accommodate in many compact cases than longer triple-fan graphics cards.

0dB Technology

ASUS incorporates fan-stop behavior under suitable low-load operating conditions to reduce unnecessary fan noise.

Dual BIOS

ASUS provides selectable performance and quiet BIOS profiles, allowing users to choose between different cooling behaviors.

Protective Backplate

The rear plate provides structural reinforcement while ventilation openings allow heated air to move through portions of the cooler.

Temperatures and acoustic behavior vary with ambient temperature, chassis airflow, fan profiles, workload, power configuration and individual hardware.

Platform & Compatibility

PCI Express 5.0

ASUS specifies PCI Express 5.0 as the card's bus standard. Motherboard slot availability and physical clearance should be checked.

550W Recommended PSU

ASUS recommends a 550W power supply based on its fully overclocked GPU-and-CPU system configuration methodology.

Single 8-Pin Power

The ASUS Dual model uses one conventional 8-pin PCIe auxiliary power connection.

Compact Case Compatibility

Its 229 mm length can simplify installation in cases that cannot accommodate very long triple-fan graphics cards.

Four Display Outputs

Three DisplayPort 2.1b connections and one HDMI 2.1b connection support as many as four displays.

ASUS GPU Tweak III

ASUS supports the card with GPU Tweak III for compatible monitoring, tuning and graphics-card configuration functions.

Works Best With

Processor Pairing

Modern Mainstream CPU

A capable current processor helps prevent CPU-side limitations when targeting high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p.

Power Pairing

Quality 550W+ PSU

ASUS recommends a 550W PSU. The system also needs one available 8-pin PCIe graphics power connection.

Display Pairing

1080p / 1440p Display

This performance class is a practical match for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming displays.

Memory, Power & Display Connectivity

16GB GDDR7

Sixteen gigabytes of dedicated GDDR7 provides additional memory capacity for games and compatible GPU-accelerated workloads.

28 Gbps Memory

ASUS specifies 28 Gbps GDDR7 memory operating across a 128-bit interface.

PCI Express 5.0

The current-generation PCI Express interface connects the GPU to the motherboard platform.

1 × 8-Pin Power

A conventional single 8-pin PCIe connector supplies the card's auxiliary power.

3 × DisplayPort 2.1b

Three current-generation DisplayPort connections provide flexible monitor connectivity.

1 × HDMI 2.1b

HDMI 2.1b provides additional connectivity for compatible monitors, televisions and home-theater displays.

What Published Technical Information Shows

Factory-Overclocked Model

ASUS specifies 2602 MHz as the default boost clock and 2632 MHz when using its OC mode.

16GB RTX 5060 Ti

This version combines the RTX 5060 Ti GPU with 16GB of 28 Gbps GDDR7 rather than the alternative 8GB configuration.

4608 CUDA Cores

ASUS documents 4608 CUDA cores and an AI performance rating of 759 TOPs for this model.

Compact Dual Design

The 229 mm card length is substantially shorter than many current triple-fan graphics cards.

Current Display Outputs

Three DisplayPort 2.1b connections plus HDMI 2.1b provide four physical display outputs.

Conventional Power Connector
