Benchmarks comparing the GeForce RTX 5060, RTX 5070 and Radeon RX 9060 XT across different processors found that Nvidia's CPU driver overhead issue persists even on these lower-end GPUs. When paired with weaker CPUs like the Ryzen 5 5600 or 5500, the cheaper RX 9060 XT sometimes delivered better gaming performance than the pricier RTX 5070. The testing follows earlier findings on the same overhead problem affecting higher-end RTX 5070 Ti cards.

Hardware modder TrashBench repurposed an old 4-kW outdoor AC radiator-fan-pump unit into a custom water-cooling loop for a PC, 3D-printing mounts for cold plates and reservoirs along the way. Testing showed an RTX 5060 dropped from 52°C to 33°C under the setup, and an overclock pushing boost clocks from 2902 MHz to 3300 MHz yielded only a 3% FPS gain despite the 14% clock increase.
