MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Custom Designs Leaked - Triple & Dual-fan Configs
Mid-way through last week, a list of supposed MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB custom graphic card model names appeared online. Days later, VideoCardz followed up with visual confirmation—covering unannounced INSPIRE and GAMING SKUs. MSI's full lineup of brand-new offerings is expected to be unveiled this week, but the online publication has managed to source pre-launch promo shots from an undisclosed outlet. Previews of retail packaging are absent, but the uploaded images of isolated hardware products look legitimate.
As leaked last week, the board partner's—likely entry level—GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G INSPIRE 2X OC model has turned up with a new dual-fan design. TechPowerUp inspected MSI's freshly debuted INSPIRE 3X cards at CES 2025. The manufacturer has gradually populated its custom GeForce RTX 50-series product stack with triple-fan options—the most recent being their GeForce RTX 5070 SKU. The smallest INSPIRE card design seems to feature a single 8-pin power connector—prior to last week, VideoCardz had heard rumors from AIB industry moles about this curious provision. By best guesstimation, the INSPIRE 2X design seems to be 2.3-slots thick. As expected, MSI has outfitted this model with three DisplayPorts (1.2b) and one HDMI (2.1b) port.
The brand's current-gen GAMING family will welcome a dual-fan "X" variant; so far we have witnessed the release of familiar TRIO designs. This particular SKU was not present within last week's leaked list. The shorter spin-off sports the usual triple-stripe and dragon emblem ARGB-lit zones. MSI's mid-range GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GAMING X model sports a single 16-pin power connector.
Upon initial inspection, the leaked GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16G GAMING TRIO model bears no surprises. It is possible that MSI has produced a slightly smaller shroud design, when compared to their GeForce RTX 5070 equivalent card.
The white version is another familiar property.
VideoCardz noted the presence of full-sized PCIe interfaces on all of the aforementioned MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti custom card designs. Past leaks have suggested PCIe 5.0 connectivity—albeit via eight data lanes, rather than sixteen. The (above) promo shots have seemingly verified this specification.

I don't like how sunken in the 16 pin connector is in the other 3. Could be very easy to not think to push it all the way in cause you cant see if its fully inserted.. I think the connector should be visible from ALL angles when GPU is installed to insure user can make sure the connector is inserted all the way (because it seems some of the problems come with cable insertion. Which is definitely part of the problem, but not all of it)
(some random 3060M off AliExpress I found, for comparison)
