The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8G SHADOW 2X OC (model 912-V537-019) is built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture and provides an 8 GB GDDR7 memory configuration with a 128-bit interface, offering a balanced mix of modern features, connectivity and thermal design in a compact dual-fan format. According to the official specification sheet, this card features 3,840 CUDA cores and supports an extreme performance mode clock of up to approximately 2,535 MHz, backed by a memory speed of 28 Gbps.
Connectivity is designed for current and next-generation monitors, with three DisplayPort 2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port, supporting resolutions up to 7680×4320 (8K) and high refresh rates. This ensures compatibility with immersive displays, VR setups and content creation workflows requiring high bandwidth.
Thermal and form-factor design are optimized for compact builds: the dimensions are approximately 197 mm in length, 120 mm in height and just 40 mm thick—making it suitable for smaller cases while delivering quality performance. The dual-fan cooling solution uses MSI’s TORX Fan 5.0 design with linked blade rings to improve airflow and static pressure, paired with a reinforced backplate for stability and airflow relief.
The SHADOW 2X series is geared toward users who want a balance of performance, modern memory architecture (GDDR7), and advanced architecture features including ray-tracing and AI acceleration via DLSS and other software ecosystems. While this card is optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming, it is also capable of stepping into higher resolution workloads thanks to its modern architecture and efficient execution.
MSI lists a system requirement of a 550 W power supply to ensure stable operation under load. As a dual-slot card with a length under 200 mm, it fits a broad range of cases, making it a versatile choice for compact gaming systems or value-oriented high-end builds.
