MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 3X VS Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Infinity 3 OC

Both the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 3X and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Infinity 3 OC feature the same GPU clock speed of 2280 MHz, with both also supporting double precision floating point (DPFP) operations. However, they differ in other areas. The Palit card has a higher GPU turbo frequency of 2580 MHz compared to the MSI's 2497 MHz. This gives the Palit a slight edge in potential peak performance under load.

When it comes to pixel rate, the Palit RTX 5060 Infinity 3 OC again takes the lead with 123.8 GPixel/s, while the MSI reaches 119.9 GPixel/s. In terms of floating-point performance, the Palit is slightly ahead with 19.81 TFLOPS versus 19.18 TFLOPS for the MSI. Similarly, the texture rate is higher on the Palit card at 309.6 GTexels/s, compared to the MSI's 299.6 GTexels/s.

Both cards feature the same GPU memory speed of 1750 MHz, shading units (3840), texture mapping units (120), and render output units (48), ensuring similar core architecture in these aspects. While both offer similar specifications overall, the Palit card provides slightly higher performance metrics in terms of GPU turbo, pixel rate, floating-point performance, and texture rate.

Both the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 3X and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Infinity 3 OC feature identical memory specifications. Each card has 8GB of VRAM, utilizes GDDR7 memory, and operates with an effective memory speed of 28000 MHz. The memory bus width is also the same on both products, set at 128-bit, ensuring similar data throughput between them.

In terms of maximum memory bandwidth, both cards provide 448 GB/s, which is another point of parity between the two. Additionally, both models support ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory, offering error detection and correction capabilities for enhanced reliability during operation.

Since all the memory specifications are identical between the MSI and Palit cards, there are no differences in this category, meaning both products deliver the same memory performance and features.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 3X and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Infinity 3 OC are very similar in their feature sets, with only a few key differences. Both cards support DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, making them compatible with a wide range of modern applications. Additionally, both support multi-display technology, ray tracing, 3D, and DLSS, providing a comprehensive suite of features for advanced graphics and gaming.

In terms of unique features, the MSI card supports Intel Resizable BAR under AMD SAM / Intel Resizable BAR, while the Palit card shares the same support for Intel Resizable BAR. Neither card includes XeSS (XMX) support, and both are free of LHR (Lite Hash Rate) limitations, ensuring they are fully capable for gaming and other high-demand tasks. Both cards also support up to 4 displays, and neither has RGB lighting for customizable visual effects.

The only notable difference between the two is that the Palit card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, while the MSI card supports DirectX 12. DirectX 12 Ultimate includes additional features like ray-traced visuals and variable rate shading, which the MSI card does not explicitly support.

Both the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 3X and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Infinity 3 OC offer nearly identical port configurations. Each card has one HDMI output with support for HDMI 2.1b, allowing for high-quality video and audio output. Both also feature three DisplayPort outputs for additional display connectivity.

Neither card includes USB-C ports, DVI outputs, or mini DisplayPort outputs, which means both products offer the same set of standard display interfaces without extra options for newer or specialized connections.

In terms of ports, the MSI and Palit cards are identical, with no differences in the number or type of outputs provided for display connectivity.

Both the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 3X and the Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Infinity 3 OC share the same GPU architecture, utilizing Blackwell. They also feature identical semiconductor sizes of 5 nm and have the same number of transistors, with both cards containing 21,900 million transistors. Both products are also compatible with PCI Express version 5 for fast data transfer.

In terms of thermal design power (TDP), the MSI card has a lower TDP of 145W, while the Palit card has a slightly higher TDP of 155W. This indicates that the Palit card may generate slightly more heat under load. However, both cards do not feature air-water cooling solutions.

When it comes to physical dimensions, the MSI card is larger, with a width of 303 mm and a height of 121 mm. In comparison, the Palit card is more compact, measuring 291.9 mm in width and 116.6 mm in height. These size differences may affect compatibility with certain PC cases.
