The Ventus 2X OC model with 8 GB of memory is the most affordable GeForce RTX 5060 variant from MSI. It features a compact dual-slot cooler with a length of 20 cm, making it suitable even for small-form-factor cases. The cooler is slightly louder than average due to overly high fan speeds, but it has sufficient headroom for manual fan speed reduction. But with 8 GB of memory, compromises are necessary in the most demanding games.

If you’d like to use more demanding ray tracing features on lower-end cards, you can enable FSR or DLSS, which renders frames at a lower sample count and reconstructs them to the target resolution using upscaling—better described as super resolution. For Ultra and RT Ultra, we choose the higher-quality Balanced mode; for RT Overdrive with path tracing, we use FSR in Performance mode.
