PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Stealth OC 16 GB GPU Review – MSRP Model With Good Cooling, Near-4070 Performance, Unique PCB

PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Stealth OC Unboxing & Closeup

The PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Stealth OC graphics card comes inside a small cardboard box.

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. 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 16 GB GDDR7 (RTX 5060 Ti) memory available on the card. Outside of the box, the graphics card and the accessory package are held firmly by foam packaging.

After the package is taken care of, I can finally start talking about the card itself. This card looks nice for SFF builders. It features a stealthy black look.

PNY makes use of its brand-new Dual Fan design. The card measures 245 x 120 x 40 mm and features a clock speed of 2407 MHz (base) / 2692 MHz (boost). The card features a 2-slot height, which is good.

Being an SFF (Small Form Factor) design, the card can be accommodated within the majority of PCs with ease without worrying about cooling or compatibility issues.

The back of the card features a solid metal backplate. The backplate offers a lot more functionality than just looks, which I will get back to in a bit.

In terms of design, PNY has updated its Dual Fan Cooling system, which makes use of a denser heat sink block.

The card comes with a dual-fan design.

The card being a Stealth model features no RGB LEDs.

These fans feature 9 blades in 92mm frames.

PNY also uses its Silent 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 looks great, too.

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 this graphics card. The first thing to catch my eye is the large fin stack that's part of the heatsink that the card utilizes.

The heatsink has been designed to be denser by increasing the footprint. This includes the use of denser aluminum fins and bigger heat pipes.

There are a total of four heatpipes that connect to the central baseplate, which has dedicated portions for the GPU and memory contact.

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 PNY GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Stealth OC comes with a single 8-pin connector to feed its 180W power rating.

The PCB on this card is also very interesting, and PNY makes use of 60% of the area with the rest being blank. The PCB could've been even shorter, leading to interesting designs which we might see in the future. As for the VRMs, there are a total of 7 phases and four GDDR7 memory modules along with the Blackwell GB206 GPU die in the middle.
