ASUS is quietly launching a series of Dual Evo cards based on the RTX 5060 (Ti). This series comprises four models (8 and 16 GB) and benefits from a revised PCB and heatsink. Despite the adjustments we’re about to see, the cards continue to benefit from factory overclocking.
RTX 5060 (Ti) Dual Evo: PCB adjustments!
Compared to the original Dual model, the card features a much simpler design, with a much more basic plastic casing than that of the original card. But what the discerning eye will notice is that the PCIe slot, usually a physical x16, has been shortened to x8 to match the interface of the graphics card, which benefits from a PCIe 5.0 x8.
At the same time, we also notice that the power connector has moved. Instead of being on the edge, at the rear of the card, it’s now towards the front, at the PCIe bracket. It has to be said that, in view of the heatsink, the PCB becomes particularly short. It’s probably a little bigger than Gigabyte’s RTX 5060 Ti Eagle, but we’re in the same frame of mind, with a PCB reduced to the bare essentials.
For the rest, we learn that the card adopts a heatsink that occupies just two slots in a PC case. The backplate is, of course, perforated, which leaves a wide opening made possible by the use of a short PCB . Otherwise, our two Axial-tech fans are still blowing on this little world.
As far as frequencies are concerned, we learn that these cards retain those of the original Dual models. The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Dual Evo runs at 2632 MHz boost.
All that remains is to see what the prices will be, and whether these changes will have any impact on the bill.
