Recently, we have had some amazing deals on PC hardware components where you got the chance to grab a free 240mm AIO cooler alongside Intel"s 245KF plus several free games (article here) and also a free DDR5-6000 RAM kit with a Socket AM5 motherboard (article here).
Sadly, those deals are no longer live though if you are still on the hunt for hardware like say a graphics card and do 1080p gaming, then this Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB Shadow 2X OC model from MSI is a very good deal as it"s under MSRP (purchase link under the specs table down below).
Cooling on the Shadow 2X OC is handled by a duo of MSI’s TORX Fan 5.0 system which links fan blades together and is said to provide a more stable airflow. That’s paired with a nickel‑plated copper baseplate and redesigned core pipes for faster and better heat conduction away from the core. The backplate on the card isn’t just cosmetic either as it’s reinforced and vented to improve airflow. Speaking of cosmetics, there is no RGB so if you hate that, this one is probably for you.
While this model has 8GB VRAM, it should be plenty for most 1080p gamers as typically buyers in this price segment do not run heavy ray tracing effects or play with very high-resolution texture mods.
