ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 OC 8GB GDDR7 Graphics Card
The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 OC 8GB GDDR7 Graphics Card is built for PC gamers and content creators who want a card that can handle demanding workloads while running quietly and resisting wear over time. It combines NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture with ASUS's military-grade power components, a three-fan Axial-tech cooling system, and a reinforced metal exoskeleton designed to keep the GPU stable under sustained load.
Why this product
Military-grade power components for stability
TUF-certified chokes and MOSFETs deliver consistent power to the GPU to help maintain system stability, while TUF 5K black metallic capacitors offer 52% wider temperature tolerance and a 2.5× longer lifespan than standard capacitors.
Three Axial-tech fans with smart stop
All three fans stop completely when GPU temperatures stay below 50°C, keeping the system quiet during light tasks. They restart above 55°C, following a speed curve tuned to balance cooling and acoustics. The two outer fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence.
MaxContact heat spreader for better thermal transfer
ASUS's MaxContact manufacturing process expands the heat-spreader surface area by 5% compared to traditional designs, improving temperatures by up to 2°C in combination with the heatsink array and fans.
Dual BIOS for quiet or performance mode
A physical toggle switch lets you choose between Quiet and Performance BIOS profiles without entering software, so you can match the card's behaviour to your workload.
DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation
Fifth-generation Tensor Cores support NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and the card also carries fourth-generation Ray Tracing Cores built for Mega Geometry workloads.
Vented 3.1-slot exoskeleton with backplate
A diecast shroud and aluminium backplate resist PCB flex while large vents increase heat dissipation. The protective PCB coating guards against moisture and debris.

- SKUASU-4107
- EAN4711636058179
- Fits any case with a PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot and at least 3.1 slots of vertical clearance.
- Connects to up to four displays simultaneously via one native HDMI 2.1b port and three native DisplayPort 2.1b ports.
- Supports HDCP 2.3 for protected content playback on compatible monitors.
- Requires a system PSU of at least 550W; ASUS recommends pairing it with the TUF Gaming Gold 850W or 750W unit.
- Power is supplied via a single 8-pin connector — verify your PSU has a free 8-pin PCIe cable before purchasing.
- NVLink and CrossFire multi-GPU configurations are not supported.
Best for
- Gamers who want AI-assisted rendering — DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and NVIDIA Reflex 2 with Frame Warp are supported out of the box.
- Builders in noise-sensitive environments — the zero-RPM fan stop below 50°C means the card is completely silent during everyday desktop use.
- Content creators — NVIDIA Studio drivers, the ninth-generation NVIDIA Encoder, NVIDIA Broadcast, and NVIDIA ACE are all supported by the Blackwell architecture.
- Long-term builders — military-grade chokes, MOSFETs, and capacitors rated for 2.5× standard lifespan suggest a card designed to last beyond the typical upgrade cycle.
- Users who prefer hardware-level control — the physical dual-BIOS switch and ASUS GPU Tweak III software give both quick and detailed tuning options.
Trade-offs
- Multi-GPU workstation builds — NVLink and CrossFire are explicitly not supported, so this card cannot be paired for combined GPU compute or rendering.
- Very compact SFF cases — at 302 × 133.5 × 62 mm and 3.1 slots wide, it will not fit cases designed for single- or dual-slot short cards.
- Systems with a PSU below 550W — the card's recommended minimum is 550W; lower-rated supplies are not advised by ASUS.
- Buyers needing more than 8GB VRAM — the memory configuration is fixed at 8GB GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, which is a narrower memory bus than higher-tier RTX 50-series cards.
NVIDIA Blackwell architecture is elevated by enhanced cooling and power delivery, fortified with rugged reinforcements for exceptional durability.
Lock, load and dominate with the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX™ 5060, designed to withstand the harshest conditions and deliver unparalleled performance.
Premium Durability
Military-Grade Components
TUF Chokes & MOSFETs
Certified military-grade TUF chokes and MOSFETs deliver rock-solid power to the GPU, which can help improve system stability.
TUF Capacitors
TUF 5K black metallic capacitors provide 52% wider temperature tolerance and a 2.5X longer lifespan than standard capacitors.
Cooling Mastery
This advanced cooling design features the ASUS-exclusive MaxContact manufacturing technique and efficient Axial-tech fans, helping to ensure premium thermal performance, optimized airflow and quiet operation, all within a robust and vented metal exoskeleton.
MaxContact Design
MaxContact is a special ASUS manufacturing process that effectively expands the surface area of the heat spreader that sits atop the GPU by 5%, compared to traditional designs. This improves temperatures by up to 2°C, in concert with an extensive heatsink array and powerful Axial-tech fans.
New Directions
The two outer fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence and enhance air dispersion. All three fans stop when GPU temps are below 50°C, for quieter operation during light tasks. They restart above 55°C, following a speed curve that balances performance and acoustics.
Vented Exoskeleton
A high-quality diecast shroud and aluminum backplate help prevent PCB flex and feature large vents to further increase heat dissipation.
