ASUS plans to drop new Dual EVO graphics cards built around the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 chips that swap in a physical PCIe x8 slot instead of the usual x16 setup. The cards still work in regular x16 slots without tanking gaming performance, but the change lets ASUS simplify the circuit board and cut manufacturing costs. The power connector also got moved closer to the back panel for easier cable management in tight builds.
The Dual EVO models keep the dual-fan cooler that ASUS uses across its budget lineup and should land cheaper than the TUF Gaming and ROG Strix versions with shorter boards and less bulky heatsinks. Clock speeds and pricing remain under wraps, but the design choices signal these cards target people who want current-gen GPUs without paying for premium features or RGB nonsense.
