Packaging
The Card
The Palit Infinity 3 styling uses a mostly black color theme with small white highlights. Both the front cooler and backplate are made from plastic. The backplate has cutouts for air to flow through.
Dimensions of the card are 29.0 x 12.5 cm, and it weighs 709 g.
Installation requires two slots in your system. We measured the card's width to be 41 mm.
Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI 2.1b.
Standard for all GeForce RTX 50-series Blackwell cards is a new display engine that supports three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, each capable of UHBR20; and one HDMI 2.1a. Both interfaces support DSC (display stream compression). With DSC enabled, a single DisplayPort on this card can drive 4K 12-bit HDR at 480 Hz; or 8K 12-bit HDR at up to 165 Hz. The RTX 5060 Ti features an updated media acceleration engine with support for 4:2:2 video formats, AV1 UHQ, and MV-HEVC. Unlike the bigger RTX 50 models, which have two, there is a single NVENC and NVDEC unit each.
The card uses a single 8-pin connector, which, theoretically allows a maximum power draw of 150 W, plus 75 W from the slot. The card's power limit is set to 180 W, with no manual increases allowed.
There is no lighting on the Palit RTX 5060 Ti Infinity 3.
Teardown
The heatsink uses three heatpipes and provides cooling not only for the GPU, but also for the memory chips and VRM circuitry.
The backplate protects against damage during installation and handling. No thermal pads here to provide cooling for the memory chips on the back side.
