Rank #4 in Best RTX 5060 Graphics Cards: 9 Ranked, £365.99 to £449.99 for 8 GB
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 EAGLE MAX OC 8G
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 EAGLE MAX OC 8G is fourth in this guide of nine RTX 5060 cards. It is an 8 GB GDDR7 card on a 128-bit bus, exactly like the other eight, with a 2550 MHz core clock and three fans. It costs £399.95 — £33.96 more than the £365.99 cheapest card in the guide, and £50.04 less than the £449.99 dearest.
The reason it sits here is its memory clock figure. The article's running complaint is that spec tables contradict the silicon: three MSI cards print 286 MHz, two ASUS cards print 2535 MHz and the PNY card prints 2280 MHz, when every card in the guide runs 28 Gbps GDDR7. This Gigabyte sheet is the only one of the nine that says 28,000 MHz, which is what 28 Gbps actually works out to. The listing is not otherwise tidy: it states 4.5 out of 5 from 49 ratings, but its own breakdown adds up to 100 — 72 five-star, 16 four-star, 5 three-star, 3 two-star and 4 one-star. It also files "Antenna Location: Gaming" on a graphics card.
