PRIME comes packaged in a nicely designed, large box. The front shows a depiction of the graphics card and lists some of the main features/standards involved. Inside, apart from documentation there are no other items included in the bundle.



The styling and design of PRIME is fairly simple – it adopts an all-black livery. The main focus which captures the attention is the triple fan cooler which sits over the GPU. ASUS are using their MaxContact thermal design for PRIME. The cooling fans are Axial-tech which are dual ball bearing and feature 0dB technology – so they’ll stop spinning when under 55C (during moments of low-load and idle state).

While the front shroud is plastic, the reverse features a metal backplate and this also has a vented section to helps to alleviate heat and enhance disputation.




This card features a single 8-pin PCIe connector and ASUS are recommending a 550W power supply for this graphics card.

On the outer edge ASUS has included a switch to allow users to toggle between performance or quiet mode with dual BIOS.

Being one of ASUS lower-priced graphics cards, PRIME lacks the RGB functionality to keep costs down. This might be something which some users prefer.

Since PRIME is a 2.5 slot design this graphics card is SFF compatible – it’s also significantly lighter than many cards we’ve tested, weighing just 900g.


On the rear IO panel there are a total of four video outputs – 3x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1x HDMI 2.1b. So, if you need additional display support, it will have to come by way of DP.

PRIME comes with a factory overclock, boosting the GPU clock to 2595MHz. This represents a marginal increase over NVIDIA’s reference RTX 5060 clock boost, which is set at 2565MHz —an uplift of 30MHz MHz.
