This is great. Everything works fine. Compatibility on his 8 year old computer is excellent. We talked to our cumputer guy at his store back in AZ who told my husband what to purchase. Price was better than a few other places. No performance issues.

★★★★★8GB of VRAM still gets the job done
I'll start off by saying that I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this card, given how the "xx60" models in Nvidia's lineup have always been on closer to the "upper-entry level" side of the performance spectrum so to speak. It has been admittedly disappointing to see Nvidia essentially backtrack after having previously launched the 3060 with 12GB of VRAM instead of only 8GB that you'll find in the 4060 (and subsequently this 5060). However, GDDR7 and PCIe 5.0 have both proved to have given the 5060 a substantial boost in memory throughout/bandwidth latency. Which ensured that at the very least, the 5060 wasn't just the exact same situation that the 4060 has since then found itself having to deal with (i.e. slower GDDR6 memory + PCIe 4.0 on just a mere 128-bit memory bus significantly hindered the aforementioned performance aspects). This is something that's not really discussed much, and it's the primary reason the 5060 saw any meaningful uplift at all over the prior gen 4060 -- seeing as the bus width & overall capacity is the same across both cards. Either way, I was pleasantly surprised and can actually believe that it performs nearly equal in rasterization to GPUs such as the 2080 Ti or 3070 (via TechPowerUp -- average relative performance derived from 100 modern/demanding games' worth of gameplay data). And despite gen-over-gen performance not always demonstrating meaningful gains, 50-series/Blackwell cards have honestly offered a lot more than the previous 40-series/Lovelace lineup. I haven't used MFG/4X frame gen (or any frame gen, for that matter lol), but that's largely due to having only played Rust (which only supports basic DLSS upscaling) for the most part in recent weeks. So I can't comment on that, but I have seen a fair bit of review coverage & based on their data it considerably helps "smoothen" gameplay/framerates thanks to being able to keep the "total" average fps for the 1%/0.1% lows ABOVE monitor refresh rate. It doesn't magically "create" frames that are identical to regularly rasterized ones, but essentially adds "filler" frames interlaced between them to drastically increase the perceived fluidity of gameplay. While also reducing/mitigating micro-stutters that would normally require having to rely on a Ryzen X3D CPU, or at the very least RAM that's clocked as high as the CPU will handle & has as low of a CAS latency as possible. I also don't use RT, for the most part out of preference for framerate > minor visual enhancements...but also I just try not to on cards such as this 5060, my old 3060 Ti, & my former laptop's mobile 3070 Ti (which is really more of a desktop 3070 with a TDP of only 125w instead of 220w) due to being only 8GB cards or from the processing demand that RT has. That's not to say that it (or any of the other cards mentioned) aren't "good" at achieving adequate fps while RT is enabled, it just seems to continue impacting performance on lower end/entry level GPUs the way that it always has -- which has resulted in making it feel like the performance penalty NEVER justifies whatever fidelity improvement that RT adds. Most games currently have opted to use sophisticated lighting techniques & texture behavior(s) that can be achieved via regular rasterization, often times providing well beyond a sufficient level of fidelity for 99% of people. ALL of that being said, however, RT can be phenomenal when it's done right & utilizes the hardware efficiently. So I wouldn't discount it completely, although it would likely provide the "best" experience overall having both DLSS upscaling enabled alongside RT in games where it's possible. And that extends to frame gen too, seeing as it would inevitably improve the conditions (aka fps + 1%/0.1% lows) and provide a bit of overhead to allow for the use of RT. TLDR; ASUS did an amazing job with this card in terms of build quality, design, and performance. One thing that Blackwell cards REALLY improved on is efficiency, and as a result cards like the 5060 are only rated for a mere TDP of 150w. And with the dual fan or "SFF"-compliant cooler on this model, there's easily still a ton of thermal headroom that can accommodate a hefty/manual OC without issue. Even without any RGB aesthetics, this card still offers a machined, finely detailed appearance/design that can be appreciated in regards to models that don't even have a proper backplate for the GPU mainboard. It's plug & play, pulls just over 100w most of the time, and runs consistently stable with myself personally not having experienced any crashes or driver related issues. All in all, this 5060 is among the best models that are readily available (at MSRP no less!), and should definitely be a consideration if you are in search of a dual fan/compact size, premium design w/o RGB, & is also a true factory OC edition. That last one is a bit important, due to it having a direct impact over how much you can push the power limit beyond 100% (if at all). But yeah. The 5060 overall is an insanely efficient card with strong performance @ 1080p and around ~80% of titles @ 1440p that's also comparable to previous gen flagship/upper-midrange cards. This ASUS model in particular just happens to refine the recipe to the point of being beyond adequate. It's essentially a similar design to the reference model, just with a potentially more robust cooling design (slightly thicker heatsink) that uses the same airflow behavior that makes said reference models of the 50-series highly effective at managing temps. It's among the best "new, in-box" GPUs you can get for ~$300 or so currently, with the only other option worth considering being the 9060 XT 8GB or possibly even 5060 Ti 8GB (depending on how much more it costs by comparison)

★★★★★Adobe premier pro match made in heaven?!😳
Absolutely love this thing! I upgraded my stock Dell computer but, be warned, this will not fit your case. You must have a M-ATX type case. I believe it took 4 slots. I am getting 5-10 times faster rendering and exports on Adobe premier pro! Computers are unique and upgrading them is very nuanced. Everything you have now versus what you want to get could determine changing one component all the way to changing multiple. I had to change my Motherboard because of the case change due to this drive. I needed the drive and everything was built around that. Ended up with about $1,000 in parts by the time I was done. Specifically, this Nvidia drive works perfectly in tandem with Adobe premier pro. Excellent choice for amateur Adobe premiere pro editing. Makes the edit process actually work and doesn't lag to much. I do need to upgrade my RAM still. This product is awesome. Totally happy! 🔥
