Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WINDFORCE MAX OC 8G Graphics Card
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WINDFORCE MAX OC 8G delivers exceptional gaming performance powered by NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture. This graphics card features 8GB of GDDR7 memory across a 128-bit interface, 3840 CUDA cores, and a boosted core clock of 2512 MHz for superior frame rates in modern games.
Advanced Cooling Technology
The WINDFORCE cooling system combines multiple technologies for optimal thermal management. Hawk fans utilize aerodynamic blade designs inspired by eagle wings, reducing air resistance while increasing air pressure by 53.6% and air volume by 12.5%. The alternate spinning configuration reduces turbulence between adjacent fans for improved airflow pressure. Graphene nano lubricant extends fan bearing life by 2.1 times compared to standard lubricants while maintaining quieter operation.
Server-grade thermal conductive gel replaces traditional thermal pads on VRAM and MOSFETs, providing superior contact on uneven surfaces and resistance to deformation. Composite copper heat pipes and a direct-contact copper plate rapidly transfer heat from the GPU and VRAM to the extended heatsink, which enables screen cooling for enhanced heat dissipation.
NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture Features
Fifth-generation Tensor Cores deliver maximum AI performance with FP4 precision and DLSS 4 support. Fourth-generation Ray Tracing Cores handle complex mega geometry with ease. New streaming multiprocessors are optimized specifically for neural shaders, providing the foundation for next-generation gaming experiences.
Ultra Durable Components
Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs produce reduced switching resistance for faster charging and discharging at lower temperatures. Metal chokes retain energy longer than iron-core alternatives at high frequencies, reducing core energy loss and EMI interference. Lower ESR solid capacitors ensure superior electronic conductivity for enhanced system performance and extended lifespan.
Display Connectivity
Three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and one HDMI 2.1b port support up to 7680x4320 resolution with multi-view capability for up to four displays. The card measures 199mm x 116mm x 40mm and requires a single 8-pin power connector with a recommended 550W PSU.
GIGABYTE Control Center Software
The unified GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER software provides real-time adjustment of clock speeds, voltage, fan modes, and power targets through an intuitive interface. Fine-tune your graphics card performance to match your specific gaming requirements.

WINDFORCE COOLING SYSTEM
The WINDFORCE cooling system delivers exceptional thermal performance through a combination of cutting-edge technologies. It features server-grade thermal conductive gel, innovative Hawk fans with alternate spinning, composite copper heat pipes, a copper plate, 3D active fans, and screen cooling.
HAWK FAN
The Hawk Fan features a unique blade design inspired by the aerodynamics of an eagle's wing. This design reduces air resistance and noise levels, resulting in up to a 53.6% increase in air pressure and a 12.5% increase in air volume without compromising acoustics.
GRAPHENE NANO LUBRICANT
Graphene nano lubricant can extend the life of sleeve bearing fan by 2.1 times, close to the life of double ball bearing, and is quieter.
ALTERNATE SPINNING
Reduce the turbulence of adjacent fans and increase airflow pressure.
SERVER-GRADE THERMAL CONDUCTIVE GEL
To enhance product quality and reliability, we have introduced server-grade thermal conductive gel for cooling critical components such as VRAM and MOSFETs. This highly deformable, non-fluid gel provides optimal contact for uneven surface and effectively resists deformation from transport or long-term use, unlike traditional thermal pads.
COPPER PLATE & COMPOSITE COPPER HEAT PIPE
The copper plate directly contacts the GPU, coupled with the composite copper heat pipes, which quickly transfers the heat of the GPU and VRAM to the heatsink.
SCREEN COOLING
Extended heatsink allows air to pass through, providing better heat dissipation.
SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP
ULTRA DURABLE
ULTRA COOLING - Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs are specially designed to produce lower switching resistance for faster electric current charging and discharging at extremely low temperature.
LOW POWER LOSS - Metal Choke hold energy much longer than common iron-core chokes at high frequency, thus effectively reduce core energy loss and EMI interference.
LONGER LIFE - Lower ESR Solid Capacitors ensure better electronic conductivity for excellent system performance and longer lifespan.
FRIENDLY PCB DESIGN
Fully automated production process ensures top quality of the circuit boards and eliminates sharp protrusions of the solder connectors seen on the conventional PCB surface. This friendly design prevents your hands from getting cut or inadvertently damaging components when making your build.
POWER THROUGH THE GAME
GIGABYTE offers the best power supply solutions for your graphics cards. You can choose either the AORUS series or the UD series to power your graphics card.
GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER
GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER (GCC) is a unified software for all GIGABYTE supported products. It provides an intuitive interface that allows users to adjust clock speed, voltage, fan mode and power target in real-time.
