A fresh leak suggests that MSI is "all in" with its upcoming rollout of GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB custom card lineup. Earlier today, I_Leak_VN uploaded a fuzzy list of nine unannounced models to social media. By some undisclosed means, the reliable Vietnamese tracker of inside info had acquired a pre-launch chart of VANGUARD, GAMING TRIO, INSPIRE, VENTUS and SHADOW options—mostly in factory overclocked forms. Late last week, GIGABYTE—another Taiwanese manufacturer—registered a wide variety of competing 16 GB VRAM-equipped offerings in South Korea. MSI's alleged card count is greater (9 vs. 7); having the advantage with four different VENTUS models.

Unlike its nearby rival, MSI has opted out of the AMD Radeon battle for this generation (RDNA 4). With full concentration on Team Green, the "Blackwell" GB206 GPU was seemingly deemed worthy of bearing the brand's premium VANGUARD cooling solution—as implied by a headlining position on I_Leak_VN's screenshot. Sitting at the bottom is MSI's barebones SHADOW 2X design; we do not know whether a new entrant will reuse the exact same dinky enclosure that is present on their GeForce RTX 5070 SHADOW 2X cards (standard and OC). Visual confirmation is expected to arrive next week; industry insiders believe that global retail stock will appear on April 16.I_Leak_VN's screenshot listed the following leaked MSI models:

• GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G VANGUARD SOC
• GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G GAMING TRIO OC WHITE
• GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G GAMING TRIO OC
