It's cheaper again! RTX 5060 Ti now costs only 7,699 CZK in the Czech Republic

A few days ago, in our article, we recommended the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Ventus 2X OC PLUS as the cheapest RTX 5060 Ti variant on the Czech market for 8,499 CZK with a code. However, graphics card prices change quickly. The GAINWARD GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Ghost is available on Alza for 7,699 CZK — and this is a direct price without the need to apply a discount code. The Ghost is currently 800 CZK cheaper than the previously mentioned MSI, yet it offers essentially the same technical foundation.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you are building or upgrading a gaming rig for Full HD gaming and want Blackwell with DLSS 4 at the lowest price on the market. The dual-slot design also fits into smaller cases.
⚠️ Consider that 8 GB VRAM will be borderline in 2026 for ultra details with ray tracing or for 1440p gaming. If you are tempted by the future of 2K, look for a 16GB variant.
💡 For 7,699 CZK you get Blackwell architecture (GB206), 8 GB GDDR7 memory, a boost of 2,572 MHz, dual-fan cooling with Zero RPM Fan function, subtle RGB backlighting, and DisplayPort 2.1b × 3 + HDMI 2.1b ports.

Ghost vs. Ventus 2X — what’s the difference?

Both cards share the same foundation — they are built on the GB206 chip with 4,608 CUDA cores, have identical 8GB GDDR7 memory with an effective 28 Gbps, and an identical 128-bit bus. From the perspective of pure gaming performance, you won’t notice any practical differences. The main difference is in the slight factory clock speed — the MSI Ventus 2X OC has a boost of 2,617 MHz, the GAINWARD Ghost 2,572 MHz. A 45 MHz difference will manifest in benchmarks as a matter of single-digit percentages and won’t be noticeable outside of synthetic tests. In terms of design, both cards are dual-slot and use two fans, with the Ghost having a slightly longer body (262 mm vs. 227 mm for MSI).

For cooling, GAINWARD relies on a Mega Copper Base with anti-oxidation treatment and composite heat pipes with a grooved structure. Both variants offer Zero RPM Fan, meaning passive operation at low loads. The Ghost also adds subtle RGB backlighting on the side cover — it’s not aggressive, so if you’re someone who appreciates RGB elements in your build, the Ghost offers a slight bonus. Connectivity is practically identical for both — DisplayPort 2.1b and HDMI 2.1b.

The same reservations still apply

The reservations from the article about the MSI Ventus 2X apply here one-to-one — 8 GB VRAM will be borderline in 2026 for Full HD ultra with ray tracing, and for 1440p gaming, you’ll hit memory limits sooner than chip limits. Independent tests show that in ray tracing titles, the 8GB variant is on average 26% slower than the 16GB alternative in Full HD ultra, and even 40% slower in 2K ultra. If you primarily play competitive games or older AAA titles, you won’t have to deal with this. However, if you’re considering upgrading your monitor to 1440p in the future, consider either the 16GB variant of the RTX 5060 Ti (roughly 3,000 CZK more expensive) or the competing AMD RX 9060 XT 16GB in a similar price range.

What kind of RGB backlighting do you prefer in a PC — vibrant colors, or a subtle accent?
