Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G SHADOW 2X OC PLUS tops this guide for one unglamorous reason: at £579.99 it is the cheapest 16GB card in the round-up, £447 below the £1,027.04 at the other end. It carries the same 16GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus as every other 16GB card here, and it quotes a 2602MHz GPU clock — the lowest figure in the group, which runs from 2602MHz to 2647MHz.
The listing is worth reading closely before you buy. The title promises GDDR7 at 28Gbps; the description field on the same page says "16GB of GDDR6 memory". The Graphics Coprocessor field is clean, but Antenna Location — a field a graphics card has no use for — is filled in as "Gaming, Professional". Everything on this page comes from the card's Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.
