TBDColorful GeForce RTX 5060 Battle NX Unboxing & Closeup
The Colorful GeForce RTX 5060 Battle NX graphics card comes inside a large cardboard box. The front of the package has a large "GeForce RTX" brand logo along with the "Colorful" logo in the top left corner and the Battle NX" series branding in the middle.
The packaging has put a large emphasis on the RTX side of things as the first feature enlisted by AIBs will be NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, Ray Tracing & DLSS support.
The back of the box is very typical, highlighting the main features and specifications of the cards. The key highlights listed by Colorful include the use of high-quality components, a selected GPU core, and the iGame Center for tuning and monitoring. There's also a focus towards GeForce.com on each AIB card through which users can download the latest drivers and the GeForce Experience application, which is a must for gamers to access all feature sets of the new cards. The sides of the box greet us with the large GeForce RTX branding. There's also the mention of 8 GB GDDR7 (RTX 5060) memory available on the card.
Outside of the box, the graphics card and the accessory package are held firmly by foam packaging. The graphics card comes with a few accessories and manuals, which might not be of much use for hardcore enthusiasts but can be useful for the mainstream gaming audience. The card is nicely wrapped within an anti-static cover, which is useful to prevent any unwanted static discharges on various surfaces that might harm the graphics card.
After the package is taken care of, I can finally start talking about the card itself. This card looks great and is very similar to the 5070 Ti variant of it, which we tested before.
Colorful makes use of a brand-new Battle AXE heatsink. With the RTX 50 series cards, Colorful has further refined its heatsink design for the RTX 50 series. The card measures 301.4 x 120 x 50 mm and weighs in at 900 grams. The card features a 2.2-slot height.
The graphics card is compliant with NVIDIA's SFF standards.
The back of the card features a solid metal backplate that looks stunning. The backplate offers a lot more functionality than just looks, which I will get back to in a bit.
In terms of design, the card features the Battle NX cooler, which adopts a triple-fan design.
The new heatsink looks like a beefed-up version of the Battle AX designs that we saw on the 4080 SUPER, with the main changes being the shroud and heatsink design that feature a neater shroud design on the front with a black and red color scheme.
The sides also come with a single RGB source, which is the "Battle NX" logo. It lights up in red by default.
Coming to the fans, the card features the latest fan designs. These fans feature 9 blades in 92mm frames with axial technology.
Colorful's new fan system has the 0dB technology, which ensures that the fans don't spin at lower temperatures, avoiding unwanted noise output.
I am back to talking about the full-coverage, full metal-based backplate that the card uses. The whole plate is made of solid metal with rounded edges that add to the durability of this card. The matte black finish on the backplate gives a unique aesthetic.
The graphics card also comes with a compact PCB design, which means that the shroud, heatsink, and backplate are all extended beyond the PCB. The third fan blows air through the heatsink and blows it out from the cutouts that are situated at the very end of the backplate. There are cutouts in screw placements to easily reach the points on the graphics card.
With the outside of the card done, I will now start taking a glance at what's beneath the hood of these monster graphics cards. The first thing to catch my eye is the large fin stack that's part of the beefy heatsink that the cards utilize.
The heatsink has been designed to be denser by increasing the footprint. This includes the use of denser aluminum fins and bigger heat pipes.
I/O on the graphics card sticks with the reference scheme, which includes three Display Port 2.1b & a single HDMI 2.1 port.
The Colorful GeForce RTX 5060 Battle NX comes with a single 8-pin connector to feed its 145W power rating.
The card features a 6-phase VRM with four GDDR7 memory modules. Rather than making use of the large cooling solution and going the factory OC route, the Colorful variant sticks with the stock clocks of 2280 MHz base and 2497 MHz boost.

Colorful's gone light on the RGB, and there's only a single RGB source on the red accent plate on the sides.
