Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti EAGLE OC ICE 8G Review: Performance & Specs
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti EAGLE OC ICE 8G is built for the mid-range market with factory overclocking and 8GB of memory. At 215 × 122 × 40 mm, it fits in most cases, and its 600g weight prevents sagging. Power comes via a single 8-pin connector, with a recommended PSU of 650W. The back panel includes 3× DisplayPort 2.1b and 1× HDMI 2.1b ports—perfect for modern monitors.
The WINDFORCE cooling system features two 10cm fans with curved blades, grooves, and beveled edges to optimize airflow. The dual-section radiator uses nickel-plated copper heat pipes and aluminum fins to efficiently dissipate heat from the GPU, VRAM, and VRM components.
Packaging and Design
The packaging is minimalist—a cardboard box highlighting the OC mode and WINDFORCE cooling. Inside: just the card and a manual. No RGB lighting. The plastic shroud has smooth curves, and the backplate includes ventilation cutouts to protect the PCB and improve thermal performance.
- Dimensions and Slots: 2-slot design, compact for mATX/ATX builds.
- Fans: Opposite rotation reduces noise thanks to blade geometry.
- Backplate: Metalized protection with integrated vents.
Control via GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER
The software lets you fine-tune cooling and performance. Choose between automatic profiles or manually adjust fan curves. The OC Scanner automatically detects stable GPU/VRAM clock speeds and sets optimal TDP limits.
- Manual Overclocking: Adjust clocks, voltage, and power limits.
- Auto Mode: Safe tuning for mid-tier users and gamers.
Benchmark Results
GPU-Z 2.68.0 confirms specs without deviations. Synthetic tests:
- Superposition: 26,418 points.
- 3DMark: 4,193 points (Battlefield V at 1440p Ultra ~20 FPS).
Game benchmarks (Full HD / 2K, Ultra settings):
| Game | 1080p FPS | 1440p FPS |
|------------------|-----------|-----------|
| GTA V | >140 | - |
| Fortnite | >70 | - |
| Far Cry 6 | 159 | 144 |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 83.63 | 65.35 |
FurMark (15 min): GPU at 70°C, VRAM at 60°C, fans at 66% (~1880 RPM), TDP at 180W.
Key Takeaways
- Effective cooling keeps temps under 70°C under load, with quiet operation up to 1880 RPM.
- 8GB GDDR7 delivers excellent performance for 1080p and 1440p Ultra gaming, consistently hitting 60+ FPS in AAA titles.
- OC Scanner simplifies overclocking without compromising stability.
- Compact size and 8-pin power draw ensure compatibility with budget PSUs and cases.
- No RGB means focus on performance and efficiency, not flashy aesthetics.
This model strikes a strong balance between price and capability for Full HD and 2K gaming, with headroom for ray tracing and DLSS. Ideal for systems where stability matters more than 4K support.
