ASUS Discretely Adds DUAL GeForce RTX 5060 EVO and RTX 5060 Ti EVO Series GPUs
ASUS adds the new DUAL GeForce RTX 5060 EVO and DUAL GeForce RTX 5060 Ti EVO Series graphics cards. The DUAL RTX 5060/5060 Ti EVO Series sport a slimmer 2.1-slot design compared to the 2.5-slot design of the counterpart non-EVO DUAL models. A rather distinct and unusual feature of the EVO Series is its shorter PCIe X8 connector which is noticeably shorter than the full-length PCIe x16 connector used by most graphics cards.
The new ASUS DUAL GeForce RTX 5060 EVO and DUAL GeForce RTX 5060 Ti EVO graphics cards adopt a revised PCB layout to accommodate the shorter PCIe x8 connector. This is not the only unconventional aspect of the design as ASUS has also repositioned the 8-pin PCIe power connector for these graphics cards. On the DUAL RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti EVO series, the power connector is located closer to the rear I/O bracket, which could present minor cable-management challenges, particularly when paired with power supplies that use shorter PCIe power leads.
Nevertheless, despite the move to a slimmer EVO design, clock speeds remain unchanged compared to the standard models. The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX™ 5060 Ti EVO OC Edition 16GB GDDR7, for example, features an OC mode boost clock of 2632MHz, which is identical to that of the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX™ 5060 Ti 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition. Like the standard versions, the EVO versions also feature Dual Axial-tech fans, reinforced PCB with protective backplate, 0dB technology, and a vented metal backplate to enhance heat dissipation during sustained workloads.
