In terms of texture mapping units (TMUs), the Asus card has 144, while the Gigabyte card has 128. Finally, the Asus card has 48 render output units (ROPs), whereas the Gigabyte card has a higher count of 64.

The Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB and the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16GB differ in several memory-related specifications. The Asus card uses GDDR7 memory, while the Gigabyte card uses GDDR6 memory. In terms of effective memory speed, the Asus model has a higher speed of 28000 MHz, compared to the Gigabyte's 20000 MHz.

When looking at memory bandwidth, the Asus card offers a maximum of 448 GB/s, while the Gigabyte card is rated for 322.3 GB/s. Despite the Gigabyte card having a larger VRAM capacity of 16GB, compared to the Asus's 8GB, both products feature a memory bus width of 128-bit, which is identical for both cards.

Finally, both cards support ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, ensuring error correction capabilities are present in both models.

The Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB and the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16GB share several key features, with some differences in functionality. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and have multi-display technology, allowing for versatile display setups. Additionally, both support ray tracing and 3D features.

In terms of OpenCL support, the Asus card supports version 3, while the Gigabyte card supports an older version 2.2. Another key difference is that the Asus card supports DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), whereas the Gigabyte card does not. Both cards lack XeSS (XMX) support.

The two products also differ in their Resizable BAR technology support. The Asus card supports Intel's Resizable BAR, while the Gigabyte card supports AMD SAM (Smart Access Memory). Additionally, the Gigabyte card features RGB lighting, a feature absent on the Asus card. Finally, the Asus card supports up to 4 displays, while the Gigabyte card is limited to 3 displays.

The Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB and the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16GB offer similar port configurations, but there are a few differences. Both cards feature 1 HDMI output with HDMI 2.1b support, and neither product includes USB-C ports, DVI outputs, or mini DisplayPort outputs.

The key difference lies in the number of DisplayPort outputs. The Asus card supports 3 DisplayPort outputs, while the Gigabyte card has only 2. This gives the Asus model an advantage in terms of supporting more monitors through DisplayPort connections.

Overall, both cards are similar in HDMI features and lack USB-C and mini DisplayPort outputs, but the Asus card offers more flexibility with DisplayPort connections compared to the Gigabyte card.

The Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB and the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16GB differ in several general specifications. The Asus card is based on the Blackwell GPU architecture, while the Gigabyte card uses the RDNA 4.0 architecture. The Asus model has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 180W, while the Gigabyte card is rated for 160W, suggesting the Asus card may consume slightly more power.

Both cards support PCIe 5.0, and their semiconductor sizes differ slightly, with the Asus card built on a 5 nm process and the Gigabyte card on a 4 nm process. The Gigabyte card also has more transistors, with 29,700 million, compared to the Asus's 21,900 million. Both cards lack air-water cooling systems.

In terms of physical dimensions, the Asus card is larger, measuring 304 mm in width and 120 mm in height, while the Gigabyte card is slightly smaller, with a width of 281 mm and a height of 118 mm.
