ASUS launches two new RTX 5060 Dual Advanced models with up to 2587MHz boost clock

Nearly a month after the RTX 5060 series hit shelves, ASUS is quietly widening its Dual lineup with two new variants bearing the Advanced (A) suffix. The cards were spotted by VideoCardz and have since appeared on ASUS’s product pages.

The two new models are the DUAL-RTX5060-8G-A, a standard-clocked card, and the DUAL-RTX5060-O8G-A, an OC edition that pushes the boost frequency to 2587MHz. That’s a modest 22MHz bump over the existing Dual OC Edition’s 2565MHz ceiling — not earth-shattering, but the kind of margin that matters to anyone chasing stable overclocks out of the box.

Beyond the core clock difference, both cards inherit the Dual series’ familiar design language. That means dual Axial-tech fans with a reversed spin direction on the center fan to reduce turbulence, a 2.5-slot profile that fits most mid-tower cases, and 0dB fan-stop technology that keeps the fans idle under light load. These aren’t flashy changes, but they’re the sort of refinements that make the Dual series a solid mid-range pick.

ASUS already offers the RTX 5060 Dual in several flavors — the base Dual, Dual OC Edition, Dual EVO, and a white-colored Dual White Edition. The new Advanced models slot in above those, giving buyers another tier of factory-tuned performance to choose from. What ASUS hasn’t disclosed yet is pricing or a release date, though the cards are likely to surface at retailers in the coming weeks.

At its core, the RTX 5060 is built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, featuring 6,144 CUDA cores, 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, and a 150W TDP. The chip targets 1440p gaming with solid frame rates and supports DLSS 4 multi-frame generation for titles that can leverage it.

The question, as always with new SKUs, is price. If ASUS prices the Advanced models within striking distance of the standard Dual versions, they’ll be a straightforward recommendation for anyone building a mid-range rig. If the premium stretches too far, the gap in clock speed alone won’t justify the extra cost.
