Earlier this week we covered a great deal on the AMD RX 9070 XT wherein its Sapphire Pulse model is selling for a very good price of just $700 as part of a combo deal where you also get a powerful 750-watt PSU.
However if you don't want to spend as much but still want a decent gaming experience, especially at 1080p, MSI's RTX 5060 Ti models, both the 8GB and 16GB variants, are on sale for very good prices (purchase link under the specs table down below). The latter can run games with high-res texture mods as well as handle AI processing thanks to that 16Gig buffer.

First we have the MSI Shadow 2X OC 5060 Ti 16GB. Cooling on this 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.

Up next we have the MSI Ventus 3X 5060 Ti 8GB. MSI uses three TORX 5.0 axial fans on this. The rest of the design is pretty similar except for the color scheme. The technical specifications of the MSI Shadow 2X OC 5060 Ti 16GB and the MSI Ventus 3X 5060 Ti 8GB are given in the table below:
