GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 5060 8GB

Great GPU price to performance for budget/mid builds

My first go to for a budget/mid build.

Pros: This can get you averaged 60 fps on 1080p Ultra and 144fps on 1080p low.

Cons: 8Gb VRAM, ya ya, if you your on a budget buy it for now, and save up than trade up for more VRAM, it will resell well.

Great upgrade from 1650 super

Price for performance I think its a great option. If the 8gb ends up struggling with bigger games then Im okay to run lower settings.

Pros: Runs my games really well. So far Ive been playing rise of tomb raider, modded fallout 4, sniper elite, and the ascent. Runs high fps and hasnt given me any memory issues. Perfect upgrade from my 1650 super for the money.

Cons: Nothing so far.

Works as intended

This card is readily available on Newegg for use much sooner than other places. While in person is best in my opinion, this product was easily accessible and purchasable with no strings attached.

Pros: - The price of this card is exactly $299 as of purchase, which is the exact price of MSRP. - You get a card that does everything you could want for 1080p. - Compact: Fits comfortably in an ATX case.

Terrific Price for an Nvidia 5 Series GPU

Best deal out there currently for a NVidia 5000 GPU. Don't hesitate.

Pros: Replaces a 3 fan NV 3 Series GPU which I used as a trade-in. Runs cooler, better circulation inside the case. The 8gb Vram works for me for light gaming and all other everyday tasks, allowing me to gradually upgrade my rig as needed. Great deal from Newegg

Huge upgrade from my 1650 super

I would recommend if you want a cheaper and possibly newer upgrade from an older graphics card. People complain about 8gb vram but cool temps and small 2 fan profile was a great fit for me. Big upgrade, was nervous when buying but glad I did.

Pros: Huge upgrade from what I was using, got it to play Dune Awakening and doesn't let down.

Cons: Stuttering in frame rate occasionally but my graphics are pumped to the max

Amazing little secondary gpu

Amazing performance for lossless scaling. Can easily handle 2 times frame generation as the secondary gpu. This is what the 5060 was made for, especially if you have minimal space to fit larger cards or do not want to suffocate the primary gpu with a larger secondary gpu. 8GB is plenty in this use case and the gpu utilization from 240fps -> 480fps remains below 80% at 1440p. I have not tried 4k gaming at high refresh rates, but I would imagine that might barely be too much for this little card, and either a 5060 ti or 5070 is needed at the bare minimum at 4k gaming at high refresh rates. I use a 5070 ti as my primary rendering gpu at 1440p and I am always using lossless scaling at 2x. Can get quite loud at full load. My pc is rocking 140mm and 200mm noctua fans, and while gaming at full load, this gpu is the loudest piece. It doesn't have the most annoying sound profile, but I am also using it in a giant E-ATX case and there is no way to silence it further. I would imagine a smaller case, with less fresh air this gpu would get even hotter and louder.

Pros: Amazing lossless scaling performance.

Cons: Loud for it's size at full load
