Notes on 12 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, Launch price: Launch MSRP was $349, but most 16GB models initially sold higher; Tom's Hardware saw them starting at $389.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 9950X system; requirements vary with your configuration.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; power needs vary by system configuration.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Power connectors: Native input is one 8-pin; NVIDIA's 300 W+ PCIe Gen 5 PSU-cable option works via the in-box adapter.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, Power connectors: The card takes one 8-pin; a 300 W or greater Gen 5 (16-pin) PSU cable can be used with the in-box adapter.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, DisplayPort version: NVIDIA specifies UHBR20 on these DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.
  7. 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b outputs run at the UHBR20 link rate per NVIDIA's footnote.
  8. 8Intel Arc B580, DisplayPort version: Intel rates the DisplayPort outputs at DP 2.1 up to UHBR 13.5 (second output listed at UHBR 10).
  9. 9AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, HDMI outputs: AMD sells no reference card; this is the reference-design I/O. Partner cards can differ (Sapphire Pulse: 2 HDMI, 1 DP).
  10. 10AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, DisplayPort outputs: AMD sells no reference card; this is the reference-design I/O. Partner cards can differ (Sapphire Pulse: 2 HDMI, 1 DP).
  11. 11Intel Arc B580, Hardware encode: Intel's spec table also lists H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) hardware encode as Yes.
  12. 12Intel Arc B580, Card height: Intel publishes this dimension as the card's 'Width' (115 mm) alongside the 272 mm length.
