Common questions

What power supply does the Dual RTX 5060 OC need?

The maker recommends a 550 W power supply and lists one 8-pin PCIe connector.

Is 8 GB of VRAM enough for the RTX 5060?

It is fine for many 1080p games, but 8 GB can be limiting at higher settings and resolutions, which Tom's Hardware's ray-tracing table hints at with the RTX 5060 falling to about 11 percent of RTX 5090 speed at 4K.
