Gigabyte Eagle OC RTX 5060 Ti 8GB

You're building in a small-form-factor case, you've already ruled out anything over 220mm, and you've landed on the Gigabyte Eagle OC as the shortest RTX 5060 Ti 8GB card available. Good instinct on the size. Before you order it though, there's a stock and pricing situation worth understanding first, which is most of what this page is about. For the chip's actual gaming performance, that's on the RTX 5060 Ti chip page, not here.

Dimensions and Case Fit

215mm long, the shortest card in the entire 5060 Ti 8GB lineup I track, edging out even the ZOTAC Twin Edge OC's 220.5mm. For genuinely tight small-form-factor builds where every millimetre counts, this is the safest length to plan around in this chip's lineup. Gigabyte hasn't published a width_slots figure for this SKU in the data I have, so I can't confirm exact slot occupation, treat it as a standard dual-slot card for planning purposes and verify against Gigabyte's spec page if your SFF case has unusually tight internal clearances.

India Stock and Warranty

This is the part I want to be upfront about: my tracking currently shows only one India retailer, MDComputers, consistently stocking this card, and availability is listed as limited rather than common. Practically, that means don't plan a build timeline around this exact SKU being in stock when you're ready to buy. Call or check current stock status before you commit, and have a backup card in mind, likely the ZOTAC Twin Edge OC, if the Eagle isn't available when you need it.

It's still official Gigabyte India stock through the standard import channel, not a parallel import, and RMA runs through Gigabyte's own India service process the same as their other cards. The confidence rating on this specific SKU's data in my records is lower than the rest of this lineup, mainly because of the thin retailer footprint, so treat some of the specifics here as reasonably solid but less battle-tested than a card like the MSI Ventus that half the country has already bought.

Cooler and Build

Eagle is Gigabyte's compact cooler tier, positioned below the larger Windforce cooler on their Gaming OC card. Given the short 215mm length, this is almost certainly a dual-fan design built tight to the board to hit that size, similar in concept to how ZOTAC and ASUS keep their compact cards short. I don't have a confirmed fan count or backplate detail for this exact SKU, so I'm not stating either. For sustained gaming load in a warm Indian room, a compact cooler on a chip in this power class should still be adequate, but a smaller heatsink generally has less thermal margin than a bigger one, so don't expect this to run as quietly under heavy load as the larger-coolered ASUS Prime or Gigabyte Gaming OC.

Power Delivery

One 8-pin PCIe connector, standard across this chip's entire lineup regardless of cooler size. No 12V-2x6 adapter is needed since this isn't a 16-pin connector card. Budget for a good quality 550-650W PSU alongside a reasonable CPU, the compact cooler doesn't change the chip's actual power draw underneath it.

Factory Clocks

Factory overclocked, consistent with every other card in this lineup. As always, the real-world gaming difference from factory OC versus a reference-clocked board of the same chip is small, typically 1-3%. Don't let a factory OC label be a deciding factor between this and any other 5060 Ti 8GB card.

Price Positioning

Here's where I want to be careful. My tracked range for the Eagle OC is ₹48,240-54,199, sourced from MDComputers. Against the rest of this lineup, that's a notably high starting price for the physically smallest, simplest-cooler card, sitting closer to the ASUS Prime's premium 304mm flagship pricing than to the similarly-sized ZOTAC Twin Edge OC, which starts around ₹45,500 with a bigger, more established retailer footprint. Given the limited stock at a single tracked retailer, I'd treat this pricing as a snapshot rather than a settled market rate, it's the kind of situation where thin availability can push the number up. If you're comparing on price alone, I'd verify the current Eagle OC listing directly against the Twin Edge OC before deciding, rather than assuming the Eagle's compact size comes at a discount, because right now it doesn't.

Who Should Buy This Card

The genuine SFF builder: if you've measured your case and 215mm is the number you need to hit, this is currently the shortest option for this chip, and that's a real, specific reason to choose it over anything else here.

The patient buyer willing to check stock repeatedly: given the limited availability, this suits someone who isn't on a tight build deadline and can wait for or hunt down stock rather than needing the card this week.

Not the buyer chasing the best price: given the current pricing sits toward the top of this lineup despite the compact size, this isn't the card for someone whose main goal is the cheapest path to an RTX 5060 Ti 8GB build.

If your case has even 220mm of clearance, the ZOTAC Twin Edge OC is worth checking first, similar size class, better tracked availability, and a lower starting price.
