Is Inno3D preparing for RTX 5060 Ti refresh?
INNO3D has officially listed its GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB iCHILL X3, a custom Blackwell-based card built around the GB206-300 GPU. The model targets 1080p and light 1440p gaming, with 4,608 CUDA cores, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, and a 2662 MHz boost clock. Power draw is listed above 180 W, with the card using a PCIe 5.0 ×8 interface.
The iCHILL X3 PCB includes pads and traces for both an 8-pin and a 16-pin (12V-2×6) power connector. The retail model ships with a standard 8-pin plug, but the PCB design suggests the company prepared for a higher-power variant. The hybrid connector layout hints that this same board could support a more demanding GPU configuration without major redesign.

Such a design choice implies forward planning for potential refreshes. INNO3D could easily reuse this board for a “Super” or factory-overclocked model simply by populating the 16-pin connector instead of the 8-pin. The decision to keep both footprints also aligns with the trend of mid-range GPUs gradually adopting next-gen power delivery as NVIDIA moves more SKUs to 12V-2×6.

Aside from the connector setup, the card appears standard for its tier: a thick triple-slot cooler, aluminum shroud, and full-length backplate (which, by the way, would need to be changed for a 16-pin connector).
