Notes on 12 values — test conditions and caveats
- 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.
- 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
- 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
- 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
- 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
- 6Intel Arc B580, DisplayPort version: Intel rates the DisplayPort outputs at DP 2.1 up to UHBR 13.5 (second output listed at UHBR 10).
- 7AMD 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).
- 8AMD 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).
- 9NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Max displays: Standard configuration supports up to 4 simultaneous displays based on the 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI port count.
- 10Intel Arc B580, Hardware encode: Intel's spec table also lists H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) hardware encode as Yes.
- 11Intel Arc B580, Card height: Intel publishes this dimension as the card's 'Width' (115 mm) alongside the 272 mm length.
- 12NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Slot width: Calculated from the published 40 mm width (thickness), typically corresponding to a dual-slot form factor.
