MSI RTX 5060 TI 16G Gaming Trio OC Review

Published:

There is no edition of RTX 5060 TI founders. This means that it depends on you whether you decide on an external project. We tested three 16 GB models for the premiere of the card, including two pursuit of MSRP in the amount of 429 USD, but this review covers the only brave enough or stupid enough to completely disregard this price. The highest quality of the plot is MSI RTX 5060 TI 16G TRIO OC.

Some concern and attention were paid to the design of this triple graphics card. It is clear to me as soon as I remove it from the wrinkling packaging and notice that the dragon motif cut off from the metal rear plate. This is not a kind of flash that you will find on the MSRP card from PNY or Palit, while the latter lacks a metal rear plate.

Metal, plastic, who cares? It matters for this graphics card. The back album has several benefits from the game trio outside the well -looking. First of all, it offers some structural stiffness to prevent the card overhang, but more importantly, it offers a way to frigid four GDDR7 memory systems loaded at the back of the PCB.

You only get 16 GB VRAM on RTX 5060 Ti, double the framework used in the 8 GB model. It’s a few basic mathematics with which I can go down. In practice, however, this means using the “flip” mode to stick another four 16 GB systems (2 GB) on the opposite PCB to the GPU. These memory systems are not covered with GPU heat and will work warmer without another cooling solution.

The game trio is used between them and the rear plate, which then acts as a substitute heat. Aww. Although you can escape without any, as proven by Palit RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Infinity 3 with plastic rear plate, without pads and a maximum average temperature in all systems during an endless 3DMark nominal steel loop, slightly higher than this game trio (68 ° C to 62 ° C).

Despite this, the data is cursed, I do not like the idea of ​​leaving these memory systems without cooling over the years of employ. It is one benefit for the MSI game trio. Another is his sensitive look.

This is definitely the best -looking from three tests that I tested. I must admit that these are only three cards, but the other two are not a fan and they are inexpensive. I am a loser for translucent plastic on almost everything-I was a child of the See-Thru Game Boy Advance-i on this card there is a bit of this effect. It has RGB lighting zones on both sides of the central fan and around the MSI badge at the end of the card, which is basic to see by the MSI PANO 100R PZ case, in which it is currently installed.

The supply, it runs frigid, well built … This card has a lot to do. But then we have to talk about the price at some point.

In my review Palit RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Infinity 3 you will find this sentence: “You should leave immediately after all above 550 USD. It’s RTX 5070 Money.” Do you want to guess that the price of a game trio?

His USD 550.

This is 28% more than the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage Reference for this card. It is not This An unusual for a graphics card of another company that charged the same price as the “next UP” -RTX 5060 Ti at the price of RTX 5070-but is never an basic pill to swallow. A sign of times, which is to be charged over USD 500 for the lower GPU of the entire RTX 50 series.

This card is excessively stopped from the factory to the melody 2647 MHz, which is located 75 MHz above the reference clock. This is not a large overclock for this card, only 3%, and we will push it in a moment, but here is how it leaves the box.

RTX 5060 Ti is able to provide a fit boost in performance compared to RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB. In my tests, the game trio is 20% before 1080p, 23% before 1440p and 41% before 4K. I should qualify that most of the time we speak with a fairly diminutive number of frames per second, often below 30 FPS, and you need to touch DLSS 4 and Multi Rame Generation to gain access to more playable buckle numbers-you can, of course, because this card supports it all.

Compared to the reference of Palit RTX 5060 Ti Infinity 3 – the one with plastic rear plate – additional money does not give more frames at 1080p or 1440p. They level profits/losses in our comparative apartment.

The game trio works cooler than its counterparts – it is a few degrees lower than Palit in a warehouse and much better than the Bat Dual Fan OC. The game trio is, as the name suggests, a triple unit, but it is also slightly larger than Palit at 300 x 125 x 44 mm. This is MSI measurement, including the PCIe socket. It is about 110 mm wide only. Other measurements seem to be a bang.

The game trio also maintains frigid control after excessive blockage, which is the only place where it really shines.

Many RTX 50 cards I tested have retained power and key restrictions. Not a game trio. You can tinker at the power limit, voltage and, of course, clock speed for your preferences. I managed to push this card with a 410 MHz shift, which is quite high, taking into account the 75 MHz OC, and at all pushes a card exceeding 3100 MHz during the game.

I pushed my memory a bit, but I came up with instability that forced me to withdraw my touch. I am sure that out of a little more time someone could cook a mean overclock on this card and give up power requirements, which would be an ideal scenario for long -term employ.

This unknown overclock brought me an boost in the average number of frames per second by 10% at 1080p. 10%. It’s perfect and exactly what I am looking for on an costly card of another company, such as this. At 1440p, it slightly decreases to just below 9%. I also managed to press the core clock on Palit Infinity 3 with a shift of 400 MHz, which gave me almost the same jump, but it is still slower than MSI. The game trio leads by 2.4% at 1080p and 1.5% at 1440p.

Buy if …

✅ You want to turn up the RTX 5060 Ti: Even with quite slothful overclock, you can download 10% higher frame speed from this graphics card. It’s huge.

Do not buy if …

❌ You can throw more money on the graphic processor: RTX 5070 can be found near the price of this RTX 5060 Ti. Although probably not so high quality cards, but I would prefer a larger graphic processor in the long run.

You often don’t see this type of profit at clock speed or the resulting frame speed for newfangled processors. Take them while you can. Large companies do not like to leave performance on the table, as it used to be, which made us wonder why Nvidia left so much security in the RTX 50 series. Their loss, our profit.

Even with licking more megahertz, RTX 5060 Ti is still close to RTX 5070 in terms of raw performance. This is an awkward introduction when MSI persecutes the price of a better card.

But will you get RTX 5070, especially one on the card of this quality, for something nearly 550 USD? This is a good question. At the moment, from April 17, 2025, you can buy Asus Prime RTX 5070 for $ 600. This should be the MSRP card and it is unlikely that it has all bells and whistles on this MSI, but there is a much larger system and uses its 12 GB of memory better. You can buy in Great Britain RTX 5070 for £ 500– or £ 30 less than MSRP – what is The same price as MSI will ask for it Card in Ol ‘Albion. This is a very basic model, not so different from Palita, which I reviewed, but it is damn accessible.

Definitely my favorite RTX 5060 Ti so far, MSI has been built to a much higher standard than its cheaper counterparts. This counts, but not quite a bonus with a value of USD 121, about which he asks about MSRP models. If you can cure MSI on this, you can probably save another $ 50 for RTX 5070 or just wait for this card to drop to 550 USD. In the end it will happen and I prefer RTX 5070 for the same money in the long run.
