The GeForce RTX 5060 and 8 GB RTX 5060 Ti have come under the heaviest fire in Nvidia’s new RTX 50 series. Still, many customers go for them – whether by choice or budget. If you’re among them, pay attention: Gigabyte’s RTX 5060 Gaming OC doesn’t try to impress with lighting effects, but for a small extra cost, it offers excellent performance thanks to a large heatsink allowing unobstructed airflow through half of the card.
Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds—Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, 2560 × 1440 (Performance)
The final two sections are dedicated to the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition benchmark with Extreme settings. First at 2560 × 1440 resolution, then at 3840 × 2160.
Even in Metro, further reducing visual settings would likely help. But for the purpose of stress testing, the frame rate was sufficient to max out GPU usage.
GPU clock speeds ranged between 2632 and 2760 MHz, averaging 2690 MHz.
Power consumption stayed at the 155 W limit for most of the benchmark, dipping briefly at the end of the loop—as usual.
Peak core temperatures reached 65.8 °C, with memory topping out at 70 °C.
Fan speeds reached about 1810 RPM.
Diagnostics again show the card hitting the voltage limit.
Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds—Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, 3840 × 2160 (Performance)
At 4K, Metro behaved better than Cyberpunk and F1 at low frame rates from a thermal testing perspective. It’s not playable, but the GPU was clearly under heavier load than in the earlier tests.
Clock speeds ranged between 2587 and 2707 MHz, averaging 2649 MHz.
During load, the card remained consistently at the 155 W power limit.
Peak core temperature in the final loop was 65.4 °C, memory reached 70 °C.
Fan speeds held steady at 1800 RPM once the card was fully heated.
Diagnostics again confirm the card hitting the voltage limit.
