MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Shadow 2X OC VS Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Dual OC 8GB

When it comes to GPU performance, the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Shadow 2X OC and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Dual OC 8GB exhibit some key differences. The MSI card features a base GPU clock speed of 2280 MHz, which is lower than the Palit card's 2407 MHz. Similarly, the MSI card's GPU turbo boost reaches 2527 MHz, while the Palit card can boost up to 2632 MHz, giving the Palit card a slight edge in clock speeds.

Looking at pixel rate, the Palit card also outperforms the MSI card, offering 126.3 GPixel/s compared to the MSI's 121.3 GPixel/s. For floating-point performance, the Palit card achieves 24.26 TFLOPS, while the MSI card is slightly behind at 19.41 TFLOPS. This suggests the Palit card may be better suited for workloads requiring more computational power.

In terms of texture rates, the Palit card again leads with 379 GTexels/s, while the MSI card achieves 303.2 GTexels/s. Both cards share the same GPU memory speed of 1750 MHz and feature 48 render output units (ROPs). When it comes to shading units, the Palit card has 4608, which is significantly higher than the MSI's 3840. Additionally, the Palit card includes 144 texture mapping units (TMUs), while the MSI card has 120 TMUs. Both cards support double precision floating-point (DPFP), but beyond that, the Palit card generally shows higher numbers in key specs related to performance.

When comparing the memory specifications of the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Shadow 2X OC and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Dual OC 8GB, both cards are identical in several key areas. Both feature 8GB of VRAM, with an effective memory speed of 28000 MHz and a maximum memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Additionally, both cards use GDDR7 memory and have a 128-bit memory bus width.

Another commonality is that both cards support ECC memory, ensuring error correction for more stable performance in demanding tasks.

In summary, there are no differences between the two cards in terms of memory specifications—all relevant specs are the same for both products.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Shadow 2X OC and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Dual OC 8GB share many of the same key features. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of modern applications. They also both support multi-display technology, ray tracing, and 3D, as well as DLSS for improved performance in supported games.

In terms of unique features, the MSI card does not include XeSS (XMX) support, while the Palit card also lacks this feature, so both are similar in that respect. Both cards support Intel Resizable BAR, but only the Palit card has RGB lighting, which the MSI card lacks. Additionally, both cards can support up to four displays, providing flexibility for multi-monitor setups.

Finally, both cards are free of LHR (Lite Hash Rate) restrictions, ensuring full mining performance without limitations.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Shadow 2X OC and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Dual OC 8GB share identical port configurations. Both cards come with one HDMI output, which supports HDMI 2.1b. Additionally, each card provides three DisplayPort outputs for connecting monitors. Neither card includes USB-C, DVI, or mini DisplayPort outputs.

Both products are equipped with the same display output options, making them quite similar in terms of connectivity.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Shadow 2X OC and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Dual OC 8GB share the same GPU architecture, using Blackwell, and both have a semiconductor size of 5 nm. They also feature the same number of transistors, 21,900 million. Both cards use PCI Express 5.0, ensuring high-speed connectivity.

There are differences in their thermal and physical specifications. The MSI card has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 145W, which is lower than the Palit card's 180W TDP. In terms of size, the MSI card measures 197 mm in width and 120 mm in height, while the Palit card is larger at 262.1 mm in width and 126.3 mm in height.

Neither card includes air-water cooling, both relying on traditional cooling methods.
