ASUS launches GeForce RTX 5060 DUAL Evo series, slimmer design and shorter PCIe interface

ASUS quietly lists Dual GeForce RTX 5060 EVO and RTX 5060 Ti EVO models

ASUS has added new Dual GeForce RTX 5060 EVO and Dual GeForce RTX 5060 Ti EVO graphics cards to its website. We spotted these models weeks ago and already added them to our database, but the product pages are now live with clearer details.

The EVO versions switch to a slimmer 2.1-slot cooler, down from the 2.5-slot design used by the regular Dual models. ASUS also uses a shorter PCIe x8 edge connector instead of the full-length x16 connector found on most graphics cards, which suggests a revised PCB layout to match.

Another layout change is the 8-pin PCIe power connector placement. On these EVO cards it sits closer to the rear I/O bracket, which can make cable routing tighter in some cases, depending on case clearance and PSU cable length.

Despite the physical redesign, ASUS does not list higher clocks versus the standard cards. For example, the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 5060 Ti EVO OC Edition 16GB GDDR7 is rated for up to a 2632 MHz boost in OC mode, matching the regular Dual RTX 5060 Ti 16GB OC. ASUS also lists the usual Dual-series features, including Axial-tech fans, 0dB fan stop, a reinforced PCB, and a vented metal backplate.

The lineup includes RTX 5060 8GB EVO, RTX 5060 OC 8GB EVO, RTX 5060 Ti 16GB EVO, and RTX 5060 Ti OC 16GB EVO. You can find all these cards in our database.
