Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Eagle Ice 16GB GDDR7 White
This graphics card is praised for its excellent performance in mid-range ITX builds, delivering high frame rates in demanding games at 1440p with DLSS enabled. However, one reviewer reported that the RGB lighting does not work at all, though cooling is noted as very good. Overall, it is seen as a great value for a compact gaming PC, but buyers should be aware of the PCIe 8-lane limitation and potential RGB issues.

- Smooth gameplay with DLSS enabled
- Good cooling performance
- Compact size fits ITX cases
