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 (Silent)
And now the final test run in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition at Extreme settings in Silent Mode.
Performance dipped slightly, by about 0.2 fps—well within the margin of error.
Due to less aggressive cooling, the average clock speed dropped slightly from 2690 to 2663 MHz, with the minimum at 2602 MHz and maximum at 2737 MHz.
Monitoring confirms power consumption remained at the 155 W limit.
Given the card’s low noise output, temperatures remained reasonable: memory typically stayed at 76 °C, peaking at 78 °C, and the core reached a maximum of 74.1 °C.
Fans ran at just 1290 RPM.
And as always, diagnostics reported the card hitting the voltage limit.

And finally, the usual 4K resolution, more suitable for higher-end cards.
Average clock speed was just 2619 MHz, with lows at 2557 and highs at 2670 MHz.
Monitoring again shows power consumption consistently at the 155 W limit.
There was no noticeable thermal deterioration: peak core temperature was 73.5 °C, memory maxed out at 78 °C.
Fan speeds were just 1280 RPM.
And once again, voltage was the limiting factor under load.
