Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WINDFORCE MAX OC V2 8G — compact Blackwell 1080p gaming
GeForce RTX 5060 · Blackwell8GB GDDR7 · 128-bit2512 MHz core clock199 mm · 1x 8-pin · 550W PSU
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WINDFORCE MAX OC V2 8G (part number GV-N5060WF2MAX OCV2-8GD) is a compact dual-fan graphics card built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, aimed at high-refresh 1080p and entry 1440p gaming as well as AI-assisted creative work.
It has 3840 CUDA cores with a factory core clock of 2512 MHz (reference 2497 MHz) and 8GB of GDDR7 memory at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus. Fifth-generation Tensor Cores enable DLSS 4.5 with Multi Frame Generation, and fourth-generation RT cores handle ray tracing.
Gigabyte WINDFORCE cooling with Hawk fans and server-grade thermal conductive gel keeps the 199 x 116 x 40 mm card cool, and a reinforced structure adds rigidity. It needs a single 8-pin connector and a 550W power supply, and drives up to four displays via three DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI 2.1b.
Compatibility note: The card uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface but works in PCIe 4.0/3.0 slots at reduced bandwidth. A 550W PSU with one 8-pin PCIe connector is recommended. At 199 mm long and 40 mm thick it suits most Micro-ATX and ITX-friendly cases, but check height (116 mm) in slim chassis. 8GB VRAM can limit the highest texture settings in some new games at 1440p.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the RTX 5060 WINDFORCE MAX OC V2 good for 1440p gaming?
Yes in many games, especially with DLSS 4.5 enabled; for maximum texture quality in the newest titles at 1440p, a 12–16GB card such as an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB gives more headroom.
What power supply do I need?
Gigabyte recommends a 550W PSU with one 8-pin PCIe power connector.
Will it fit in a small case?
At 199 mm long, 116 mm tall and 40 mm thick (about two slots) it fits most Micro-ATX and many compact cases; check GPU length and height limits of your chassis.
Does it work on a PCIe 4.0 motherboard?
Yes. PCIe 5.0 cards are backward compatible and run in PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 x16 slots.
Singular Expert Insight
A sensible compact RTX 5060: short, efficient and easy to power, making it ideal for upgrading pre-built or Micro-ATX systems. DLSS 4.5 does the heavy lifting at 1440p, but 8GB of VRAM is the trade-off — buyers planning to keep the card for years at 1440p should look at 16GB models. See our full
graphics card range.
✓ Buy it if you want an affordable, compact RTX 50-series card for 1080p/1440p gaming on a 550W PSU.
✕ Skip it if you play at 1440p ultra textures or 4K and want more than 8GB of VRAM.
→ Also consider an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB for more VRAM, or an RTX 5070 for high-refresh 1440p.
