Late Cyber Monday deal: This Nvidia RTX 5060 with 8GB VRAM is under MSRP

If you are looking for a 1080p gaming GPU for under $300, this MSI Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB card is a great deal.

Recently there have been unconfirmed reports about price hikes for AMD Ryzen CPUs following ones for memory, drives, and GPUs. If you're wondering about the reason for this pricing uptrend, it has to do with AI and the high enterprise demand it is putting on hardware, and this is already having far-reaching effects, with Micron shutting down the highly popular Crucial consumer division to focus completely on the commercial market.

So if you are worried about price hikes and are looking to make a GPU purchase with a budget of around $300, then the MSI Ventus 3X Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB variant is a good one to pick up as it is currently under MSRP (purchase link under the specs table down below).

While the RTX 5060 8GB is not on our list of the best recommended desktop CPUs and GPUs, it is still a very capable card for 1080p gaming. The RTX 5060 is a very good GPU for 1080p gaming, especially for lightweight or competitive titles that do not require 8GB of VRAM. You can still play AAA titles on them, but you might need to dial down certain settings like textures and ray tracing a notch lower.

The Ventus 3X line is known for its straightforward design. Here, MSI uses three of its TORX 5.0 axial fan systems, where linked fan blades are intended to stabilise airflow and maintain consistent cooling. A metal backplate with cutouts should help with heat dissipation while also reinforcing the card’s structure. The card’s shroud design is kept neutral in appearance, so it can blend into a wide range of builds without drawing attention.
