As anticipation builds for the official announcement of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, news has leaked about what some manufacturers will be selling with the RTX 5060 Ti name attached. The first of these to emerge is MSI.

The majority of analysts believe that Nvidia will officially unveil the RTX 5060 Ti next week, accompanied by the non-Ti RTX 5060. Ahead of this, some outlets have gotten a look at some upcoming models of RTX 5060 Ti.

Tech site VideoCardz has managed to learn what MSI will have in its lineup for the RTX 5060 Ti launch. This initial lineup is believed to focus on the 16GB variant, with the 8GB version to come later. According to the leak, MSI has the Inspire 2X, Gaming Trio, and Gaming models ready for launch. The Trio will be available in black or white colorways.

  • MSI RTX 5060 Ti Gaming
  • MSI RTX 5060 Ti Gaming Trio
  • MSI RTX 5060 Ti Gaming Trio White

The Inspire 2X is believed to have an 8-pin power connector, a two-fan configuration, with its output as three DisplayPorts and one HDMI port. VideoCardz also specified that it is 2.3 slots wide instead of being a standard two-slot model.

The Gaming model will also have two fans, a first for this type in the RTX 50 series, which usually sports three fans. This model will use a 16-pin power connector. The Gaming Trio and Gaming Trio white appear to be identical apart from the colour scheme. These use a three-fan configuration and use 16-pin power connectors, and otherwise look very similar to the two-fan Gaming models.

The images also reveal that the RTX 5060 Ti will be a PCIe 5.0 x8 GPU. All the cards listed use full-sized PCIe slots, but not all of the data lanes are connected. This apparently confirms that the GB206 chip is not using 16 data lanes.

This information was obtained by a leak, so it has not yet been officially confirmed by Nvidia or MSI. Confirmation will need to wait until an official announcement is made.
