Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WindForce VS Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Dual OC

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WindForce and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Dual OC both feature identical GPU clock speeds of 2280 MHz, but the Palit model offers a higher GPU turbo speed at 2535 MHz, compared to the Gigabyte's 2497 MHz. In terms of pixel rate, the Palit card also takes a slight lead with 121.7 GPixel/s versus the Gigabyte's 119.9 GPixel/s. The floating-point performance is nearly identical, with the Gigabyte offering 19.18 TFLOPS and the Palit slightly ahead at 19.47 TFLOPS.

For texture rates, the Palit card again outperforms the Gigabyte, achieving 304.2 GTexels/s compared to 299.6 GTexels/s on the Gigabyte. Both models feature identical GPU memory speeds of 1750 MHz, shading units with 3840 units, and 120 texture mapping units (TMUs). Additionally, both cards have the same number of render output units (ROPs) at 48 and support Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP) calculations.

While both products have the same number of shading units, TMUs, ROPs, and DPFP support, the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Dual OC shows marginal improvements in GPU turbo speed, pixel rate, and floating-point performance. The rest of the specifications are identical between the two models.

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WindForce and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Dual OC have identical memory specifications across all key aspects. Both cards feature an effective memory speed of 28000 MHz, a maximum memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s, and 8GB of VRAM. They also both use the same GDDR7 memory type and have a 128-bit memory bus width.

Furthermore, both models support Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory, ensuring enhanced stability and data integrity during demanding tasks.

With all these memory specifications matching exactly between the two models, there are no differences to highlight in this category.

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WindForce and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Dual OC share many similar features. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3. They also support multi-display technology, ray tracing, DLSS, and Intel Resizable BAR (but no support for AMD SAM). Additionally, both cards come with RGB lighting and are capable of driving up to 4 supported displays.

One key difference is that the Gigabyte card does not support 3D, whereas the Palit model does. Another distinction is that the Gigabyte does not include XeSS (XMX) support, which is also true for the Palit card.

Overall, the two models are very similar in features, with the main difference being the Palit's support for 3D, while the Gigabyte model lacks this feature.

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WindForce and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Dual OC have identical port configurations. Both cards feature one HDMI output with HDMI version 2.1b, three DisplayPort outputs, and no USB-C, DVI, or mini DisplayPort outputs. These specs ensure that both models are well-equipped for modern display setups, offering plenty of flexibility for multi-monitor configurations.

Overall, there are no differences between the two products in terms of available ports—they both offer the same number and types of connections.

Given their matching port specifications, either card should serve equally well for most users looking for HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for their display needs.

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 WindForce and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Dual OC share many core specifications. Both cards use the Blackwell GPU architecture, have a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 145W, support PCI Express (PCIe) version 5, and are built on a 5 nm semiconductor process with 21,900 million transistors. Neither card features air-water cooling.

However, the two cards differ in size. The Gigabyte model is 199 mm in width and 116 mm in height, while the Palit card is slightly larger, measuring 262.1 mm in width and 126.3 mm in height.

Overall, the key specifications are identical between the two models, with the main difference being the physical size, where the Palit card is notably larger than the Gigabyte card.
