However, when it comes to the number of shading units, the Asus card has 2560, while the Gigabyte card significantly outpaces it with 4608. The Gigabyte card also has more texture mapping units (TMUs) at 144 compared to Asus’s 80. Finally, the number of render output units (ROPs) differs, with the Asus card offering 32 ROPs, while the Gigabyte card provides 48 ROPs.

The Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5050 OC Edition and the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 8GB both feature 8GB of VRAM, ensuring they have the same memory capacity. However, there are notable differences in memory speed and bandwidth. The Asus card has an effective memory speed of 20000 MHz and a maximum memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s, while the Gigabyte card has a higher effective memory speed of 28000 MHz and a greater maximum memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s.

Both cards use a 128-bit memory bus width, so there is no difference in the width of the memory interface. Additionally, both models support ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, which helps ensure data integrity during memory operations.

Another key distinction is the GDDR version used by each card. The Asus card is equipped with GDDR6 memory, while the Gigabyte card uses the newer GDDR7 memory, which generally offers improved performance and efficiency over GDDR6.

Both the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5050 OC Edition and the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 8GB feature the same DirectX version (DirectX 12 Ultimate), OpenGL version (4.6), and OpenCL version (3), ensuring similar compatibility with modern software and games. Additionally, both cards support multi-display technology, ray tracing, and 3D, along with DLSS for improved performance in supported titles.

Neither card supports XeSS (XMX), but both support Intel Resizable BAR, ensuring compatibility with Intel processors that enable this feature. Both models also lack LHR (Lite Hash Rate), making them equally suited for gaming or other non-mining tasks.

When it comes to additional features, both cards include RGB lighting for customizable aesthetics, and each supports up to 4 displays. So, in terms of features, both the Asus and Gigabyte models are nearly identical, offering a consistent set of capabilities.

Both the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5050 OC Edition and the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 8GB offer very similar port configurations. Each card has one HDMI output with HDMI 2.1b support, ensuring high-quality video and audio output. They also both feature three DisplayPort outputs, allowing for flexible multi-monitor setups.

Neither card includes USB-C, DVI, or mini DisplayPort outputs, as both models are limited to HDMI and DisplayPort for video connections.

Overall, in terms of ports, there is no difference between the two models—they offer the same port options and quantities, making them equally equipped for display connectivity.

Both the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5050 OC Edition and the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 8GB share the same GPU architecture, which is based on Blackwell, and both use a 5 nm semiconductor size. The number of transistors differs, with the Asus card containing 16,900 million transistors, while the Gigabyte card has 21,900 million transistors, offering more processing power overall.

In terms of power consumption, the Asus card has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 130W, whereas the Gigabyte card requires 180W, indicating that the latter may demand more power for higher performance.

Both cards support PCIe version 5, ensuring compatibility with modern motherboards. However, the Asus card is slightly shorter in width at 268.3 mm, while the Gigabyte card measures 281 mm in width. The height of the cards is nearly identical, with the Asus at 120 mm and the Gigabyte at 119 mm. Neither card includes air-water cooling features.
