Moon White and Wind Qing·Classic New Rhyme: Sotai RTX 5060 8GB Moon White OC Review

Foreword

On this romantic day on May 20, Sotai officially launched the highly anticipated GeForce RTX 5060 series graphics card. As a dessert-grade product in the 50 Series, the GeForce RTX 5060 8GB monthly white OC graphics card is one of the most technologically-sensed gift choices on the 520 Confession Day with its pure white design of its three fans and its extremely cost-effective pricing strategy. We ordered the hardware group to download it and were fortunate to get this graphics card as soon as possible. Next, we will take you to learn more about its actual performance.

Appearance appreciation

Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB moon white OC graphics card is inspired by the traditional Chinese color "moon white" design. It has a cool and noble moon white all over. There is no excessive decoration. It cleverly integrates oriental aesthetics and modern technology. It is only embellished with a few cloud patterns, using virtual instead of real, and the charm of whiteness is endless. Its simple and smooth lines and special surface treatment process present a warm and jade-like visual effect. While showing the traditional aesthetic artistic conception, it also perfectly adapts to the needs of the AI ​​gaming era with strong performance.

In terms of size control, this graphics card continues the compact design of 293×118×41mm, but has played a new trick in the heat dissipation layout - innovatively adopting a "two big and one small" three-fan combination: a 9cm large fan on both sides, an 8cm small fan sandwiched in the middle, and a special innovative inclined angle design, which not only significantly increases the air volume and air pressure, but also brings breakthrough heat dissipation performance through the strong penetration of vertical wind. This optimized design greatly enhances the heat dissipation efficiency, ensures that stable and low temperatures can be maintained during high load operation, and provides reliable guarantees for the continuous release of hardware performance. In addition, all three fans support PWM intelligent speed regulation, which can automatically adjust the speed according to the load.

Sotai in RTX 5060 Yuebai OC A lot of investment in the cooling design of graphics cards is made, and the newly upgraded Ice Core 2.0 cooling system has achieved a comprehensive improvement in performance. The most eye-catching thing about this system is the three core improvements: first, the ice mirror thermal conductivity module, which has been polished through mirror-level and optimized heat pipe layout, and has greatly improved the thermal efficiency and makes the heat distribution more balanced; second, the heavily upgraded Ice Vein 3.0 heat pipe, which is thickened by the thickened copper tube wall and the redesigned internal fluid conduction tank structure. In addition, the cooling system also uses a large-area heat dissipation fin set made of nickel-plated alloy. Combined with the innovative penetrating air duct design, the overall heat dissipation effect of the graphics card is significantly enhanced, allowing players to have a pleasant gaming experience.

What's even more rare is that with such strong cooling performance, the operating noise of the graphics card is still well controlled, and the intelligent temperature control system is also a highlight. The fan start-stop technology of the RTX 5060 OC graphics card will automatically adjust the speed according to the GPU temperature - completely stopping at light load to achieve zero noise, and intelligent acceleration during heavy load to ensure heat dissipation efficiency. This not only reduces the noise troubles of daily use, but also effectively extends the service life of the fan. The design is very considerate. The temperature performance was stable in actual game tests and there was no frequency reduction throughout the whole process. Such heat dissipation performance was really eye-catching.

The most eye-catching thing is the ARGB faith lamp on the top. The 16 million-color fantasy lighting effect supports multiple mode customization, which can be easily controlled from static monochrome to dynamic streaming light, adding a lively e-sports atmosphere to the whole machine. This "small but refined" design idea not only ensures compatibility, but also takes into account both the heat dissipation performance and visual experience.

In terms of power supply, this graphics card is equipped with an upgraded version of S.E.P The 3.0 power supply solution has a very solid material use. The selected high-quality electronic components and a single 8pin external power supply interface not only ensure stable operation under high loads, but also takes into account the upgrade needs of old platform users.

The card is equipped with a newly upgraded FIRESTORM control software, deeply optimized by professional engineers, provides integrated functions including parameter monitoring, lighting adjustment, fan control, etc. The operating interface looks more intuitive and concise, allowing players to easily control the performance of graphics cards.

The powerful DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Reflex 2 technology

Compared with the previous generation of RTX 40 series DLSS 3 CN N (convolutional neural network), Transformer captures long-range dependencies in picture through self-attention mechanism, significantly improving timing consistency in dynamic scenes. The stability improvements in the edges of rapidly moving objects or complex light and shadow changes directly reduce the common "ghosting" and pixel flickering problems in traditional super-segment technologies. Combined with the upgrade of optical flow accelerator of RTX 50 series GPU, the Transformer model can more accurately predict inter-frame motion trajectories, providing a reliable data foundation for multi-frame generation.

With the powerful hardware performance of the RTX 50 series GPU, DLSS 4 has introduced a new "multi-frame generation" technology. This technology has achieved a breakthrough upgrade based on DLSS 3 frame generation, and can generate more frames, bringing players an unprecedented ultimate gaming experience. Especially in 4K high-resolution and high picture quality scenes, DLSS 4 multi-frame generation technology shows amazing potential, perfectly balancing image quality and fluency, and becoming an important guarantee for future gaming experience.

What is even more exciting is that the RTX 50 series graphics card is also exclusively equipped with Reflex 2 technology, which combines the existing Reflex low latency mode with the revolutionary Frame Warp technology. In competitive games such as FPS, this technology allows players to lock targets at faster speeds, respond faster, significantly improve targeting accuracy, and bring decisive advantages to e-sports players. The whole machine configuration

We assembled a pure white color console using the configuration shown in the figure, which can create a good testing environment for Sotai's GeForce RTX 5060 8GB moon white OC graphics card as much as possible.

Basic Performance Test

According to our evaluation conventions, let’s first take the benchmark test of Paopu 3D MARK. Including Steel Nomad, Speed ​​Way, Fire Strike, Fire Strike Extreme, Fire Strike Ultra, Time Spy, and Time Spy Extreme.

When measuring GPU performance, rasterization processing capability is one of the most core evaluation criteria. The results of 3DMark's classic rasterization test show that the Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB monthly white OC graphics cards are steadily surpassing the RTX 4060. In the Fire Strike series tests, its average performance even significantly surpassed the RTX 4060 Ti, among which the performance increase of the Fire Strike Ultra project is as high as 42%. In the Time Spy series test, the gap between the two graphics cards was relatively small, and the performance difference was maintained between 14% and 19%.

The biggest highlight of the RTX 50 series is undoubtedly the DLSS 4 technology. According to actual measured data, when the 2X frame generation function is turned on at 1080P resolution, the average game frame rate is nearly 50 frames higher than when DLSS 4 is turned off. When the 3X and 4X multi-frame generation modes are turned on, the performance advantages are even more significant. In the 4X multi-frame generation mode, the frame rate performance of the Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB Monthly White OC graphics card is an astonishing 264% higher than the maximum frame rate when DLSS 4 is turned off. This data intuitively demonstrates the revolutionary performance leap brought by DLSS 4. Large-scale 3A game actual test

In actual game tests, we pay more attention to the real performance of graphics cards rather than theoretical data. Considering that the graphics card being tested is in the entry level, we have adopted a more pragmatic solution in the screen settings: select high picture quality instead of the highest preset to ensure that the test results are more reference value for mainstream players. At the same time, turn on the low ray tracing setting to balance the visual experience and performance needs. Such a test solution can not only reflect the actual gaming capabilities of the graphics card, but also provide upgrade references for players using the previous generation of graphics cards.

As a model of next-generation 3A games, "Cyberpunk 2077" not only shows top-notch light and shadow effects and detailed performance, but also continues to test the ultimate strength of each generation of graphics cards with its extremely high performance needs. And fromJudging from the test results, the performance of this Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB moon white OC is also really amazing. Not only does the frame rate increase in the generation of the 2X frames achieve the overturn of the frame rate, but also the average frame rate of Cyberpunk 2077 is raised to 200 frames, or even close to 300 frames in the 3X and 4X stages. Compared with native rendering, the frame rate is 203%, and you can enjoy the world of cyberpunk with the current mainstream high-brush e-sports monitor.

As the continuous expansion of the DLSS 4 game lineup, the top domestic 3A "Black Myth: Wukong" has also added the technical support of DLSS 4. Judging from the actual test results, with the stable game frame rate performance of nearly 100 frames under native rendering, the Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB Moon White OC is not inferior in the game. After further turning on the 3X and 4X frame generation, the frame rate has been further improved, and it has even reached the level of 150 frames at one point. For such an action game, a smoother frame rate means being able to make smoother combos and more accurate dodging. For players who are underconfigured and are struggling to support low frame rate environments, a Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB moon white OC is enough to allow them to play this kind of action game.

Recently, Doom: Dark Ages, jointly developed by B Society and ID Software, has become the focus of players' attention with its excellent optimization and cutting-edge technology. Thanks to the deep technical accumulation of the two studios and the new idTech 8 engine, this game not only operates extremely efficiently, but also supports next-generation graphics technologies such as DLSS 4, bringing players a more shocking visual experience. We used the Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB Moon White OC to test the game. It can be seen that under the same high picture quality + low ray tracing settings, the native frame number of RTX 4060 is only 52 frames, while the RTX 5060 reaches 62 frames, easily meeting the standard of smooth operation of 60 frames. What's even more amazing is that after turning on DLSS 4, the performance of RTX 5060 ushered in a leap. Under DLSS 4 4X, the number of game frames directly soared to 150 frames, an increase of up to 140%, and the performance was amazing. This improvement not only makes the high-frame-rate gaming experience a reality, but also fully demonstrates the huge advantages of the new generation of graphics cards in AI super-scoring technology.

Competitive online games test

While being able to play 3A masterpieces, Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB moon white OC is also the first choice for online game players. According to actual test data, the RTX 5060 has better frame rate performance in all games. However, it should be noted that in large map games like "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", due to the complex scenes and high memory demand, the performance improvement will be relatively limited, which is exactly in line with expectations. In the current popular "Defying Contract", the performance of the RTX5060 is particularly impressive - the frame count has increased significantly from 240 frames of 4060 to 334 frames. Coupled with the Reflex 2 low-latency technology that will be launched in the RTX50 series, it can make players' operation response more sensitive and the overall competitive experience is significantly improved. For FPS players who pursue the ultimate operating experience, such an upgrade can indeed bring obvious competitive advantages.

Summary

From the test data, the performance of the Sotai GeForce RTX 5060 8GB Monthly White OC graphics card has exceeded that of the RTX 4060. In the DLSS full-on state, its frame rate performance can even reach nearly twice that of the RTX 4060. However, the real value of this graphics card is that it provides a significant upgrade option for players who are still using the RTX 3060, RTX 2060 and even earlier 1060 series graphics cards.

In terms of pricing, the RTX 5060 series continues the people-friendly route, and the starting price is the same as the previous generation of products. It is worth mentioning that as the 618 Shopping Festival is approaching, if you are still hesitating about upgrading your graphics card, this new product with both performance and cost-effectiveness is undoubtedly the most worth considering choice at the moment.
