MSI Readies Compact GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB INSPIRE ITX GPU
MSI has prepared a new ITX-sized GeForce RTX 5060 8G INSPIRE ITX GPU. This compact powerhouse, coming in a GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB flavor, boasts a core clock that reaches an impressive 2,512 MHz (boost clock of 2,497 MHz), driving 3,840 CUDA cores alongside a substantial 8 GB of GDDR7 memory running at a lightning-fast 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus. Despite its 145 × 120 × 45 mm dimensions and 581 g weight, the card remains cool thanks to the STORMFORCE FAN design, featuring seven claw-textured blades in a circular arc to maximize airflow quietly, along with a copper-core sunflower radiator heatsink that combines a high-conductivity copper core with a sunflower-style aluminium radiator. A reinforcing backplate with an airflow vent lets exhaust air escape efficiently. Power consumption is 145 W via a single 8-pin connector, and MSI recommends a 550 W PSU. Outputs include three DisplayPort v2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port (up to 4K 480 Hz or 8K 120 Hz with DSC). Users can select either GAMING or SILENT mode in the MSI Center, and overclocking is available through MSI Afterburner.

And I don't need those new stuff that is overpriced -.-.
But good to know that there is more itx stuff coming :).
(I had a 1060 with similar cooler (Asus...) and that could barely handle 120W, unless they reinvented physics this is going to be a disaster at 145W)
It wouldn't be like that if Blackwell GPUs weren't so drastically overvolted OOTB. 5060 can easily fit within 100 or, worst case, 110 W without any performance loss, yet here we are. Overvolted cards, overbuilt coolers, over the top pricing.
Which in my opinion looks better.
To make this the exception only show how much bullshit is being sold out there and the sad calture of making aesthetic (size, lightes, way too much fans) a primary featur.
The 10% premium stuff has become the 90% mainstereme because it`s 'look good and sexy'.
So go ahed, pay the cost of that culture that contribute absolutely nothing to what the GPU is use for.
It's a colour that matches literally nothing.
Cases don't come in that colour, motherboards don't come in that colour, RAM, PSUs, fans....
Why, MSI? What in the hell....?
The case is neither solid or sit on the floor and ecstatic, that play no role in the GPU performance btw, doesn't factor at all.
