Rank #5 in Best RTX 5060 Graphics Cards: 9 Ranked, £365.99 to £449.99 for 8 GB
MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8G GAMING OC
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8G GAMING OC is fifth of the nine RTX 5060 cards in this guide, at £379.98. That is £14 above the cheapest card here and £70 below the dearest, for the same 8 GB of GDDR7 on the same 128-bit bus. This one is the factory-overclocked Twin Frozr 10 model: a two-slot, 248 mm card drawing 155 W through a single 8-pin connector, with MSI recommending a 550 W power supply or higher. It carries 4.4 out of 5 from 112 ratings, and 75 of those 112 are five-star.
The reason it earns its own page is the memory clock. The specification table on this listing gives a Memory Clock Speed of 286 MHz. The same page, in the product title and the first bullet point, says the card has 28 Gbps GDDR7 — which is 28,000 MHz. Both figures are printed by MSI on one listing and they are not close. The clock speeds disagree too: the specification table states 2625 MHz for the GPU, while the graphics description on the same page says up to 2640 MHz boost. Nothing here comes from our own testing; every figure on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as published.

Questions people ask
What memory does the MSI RTX 5060 8G GAMING OC have?
The listing states 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, described in the bullet points as 28 Gbps memory with DLSS 4.0 support.
Why does the spec sheet give a memory clock speed of 286 MHz?
We cannot tell you. The same MSI listing says the card runs 28 Gbps GDDR7, which is 28,000 MHz, so the 286 MHz in the specification table does not match the rest of the page.
What power supply does the MSI RTX 5060 8G GAMING OC need?
MSI recommends a 550 W PSU or higher. The listing gives a power consumption of 155 W through a single 8-pin connector.
How long is the card?
The listing states 248 mm long and two slots wide, weighing 649 g. Worth measuring against your case before ordering.
What clock speed does the GPU run at?
The specification table lists 2625 MHz, while the graphics description on the same page states up to 2640 MHz boost clock.
What resolution is it aimed at?
The bullet points describe 1080p ray tracing with DLSS 4.0, and the listing gives a maximum display resolution of 3840x2160 with HDMI 2.1b quoted for 4K/480Hz.
