The Colorful GeForce RTX 5050 Battle AX comes with 8GB of VRAM, while the Gainward GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PythoN III 16GB has double that at 16GB of VRAM. Another difference is in the GDDR memory versions: the Colorful card uses GDDR6, while the Gainward card is equipped with GDDR7 memory, offering potential performance and efficiency improvements with the newer version.

Both products support ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, ensuring data integrity and stability for both cards. Overall, the Gainward card stands out with higher memory speed, bandwidth, and VRAM, along with the newer GDDR7 memory type, while the Colorful card offers a more moderate specification with GDDR6 and less VRAM.

Both the Colorful GeForce RTX 5050 Battle AX and the Gainward GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PythoN III 16GB support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, ensuring compatibility with the latest graphics and compute APIs. They also both support multi-display technology, ray tracing, and 3D rendering, offering similar high-end feature sets for immersive experiences. Additionally, both cards support DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), though neither card includes XeSS (XMX) support, which is not available on either model.

Both products also feature Intel Resizable BAR support, which allows for improved performance by enabling the CPU to access the entire GPU memory. Neither card includes LHR (Lite Hash Rate) limitations, meaning both can be used for cryptocurrency mining without restrictions. One notable difference is in RGB lighting: the Colorful GeForce RTX 5050 Battle AX has RGB lighting, while the Gainward GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PythoN III 16GB does not.

Finally, both cards support up to four displays, allowing for multi-monitor setups. Overall, while both cards are similar in terms of key features, the Colorful card stands out with its RGB lighting, which the Gainward model lacks.

Both the Colorful GeForce RTX 5050 Battle AX and the Gainward GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PythoN III 16GB feature an HDMI output with one HDMI port. Both cards also support HDMI 2.1b, ensuring compatibility with high-bandwidth displays. In terms of DisplayPort outputs, both cards include three DisplayPort outputs, providing similar multi-display support.

Neither card includes USB-C, DVI, or mini DisplayPort outputs, as both cards are equipped with only the HDMI and DisplayPort options. This makes the port configurations identical across both products.

In summary, the port offerings for both the Colorful and Gainward cards are essentially the same, with each providing one HDMI port, three DisplayPort outputs, and no additional ports such as USB-C or DVI.

Both the Colorful GeForce RTX 5050 Battle AX and the Gainward GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PythoN III 16GB use the same Blackwell GPU architecture and have the same 5 nm semiconductor size. However, the two cards differ in several other areas. The Colorful card has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 130W, while the Gainward card has a higher TDP of 180W. Both cards feature PCI Express 5.0 support, ensuring high-speed data transfer between the GPU and the motherboard.

In terms of transistor count, the Gainward card again leads with 21,900 million transistors, compared to the Colorful's 16,900 million transistors. This suggests a slightly more complex and potentially more powerful chip in the Gainward model. Regarding physical dimensions, the Colorful GeForce RTX 5050 Battle AX is wider at 301.4 mm and taller at 120 mm, while the Gainward card is more compact with a width of 291.9 mm and a height of 116.5 mm.
