Our three RTX 5060 Ti:
Different boost frequencies for the RTX 5060 Ti :
Let’s start by looking at the characteristics of our three models of the day. While the characteristics of the graphics chip are the same, they differ in terms of Boost frequency. The ASUS and MSI models benefit from factory overclocking, meaning that they have a higher boost frequency than the PALIT model. We can see this by running GPU-Z, which will give us some valuable information.
So we have our PALIT model with a boost frequency of 2572 MHz, the MSI model with 2647 MHz and finally the ASUS with 2662 MHz. So there is a difference, which should be noticeable in the tests… But in the end it’s very slight, as we’ll see in the first benchmarks.
The Power Limit :
Another key element to highlight is the ‘ Power Limit ‘, the box we have highlighted in the ‘ Advanced ‘ tab of GPU-Z. But what is this Power Limit? Our three models have a TDP of 180 watts, which means that when the card reaches this TDP, performance will be at its maximum. If the card were to exceed 180 watts when overclocking, it would automatically ‘throttle’ itself in order to maintain its TDP by reducing the frequency, for example, in order to stay within the limits. The margin offered by certain models allows this TDP to be exceeded. The PALIT model has no room for manoeuvre and will therefore remain at 180 watts. The MSI model has an additional margin of 22%, meaning that the card can go up to 219.6 watts, and the ASUS model has an additional 30% to reach 234 watts.
Let’s get on with our tests to determine the potential of each model.
