Setup and Installation

1. Pre-Installation Checklist

• Power Supply: Ensure your power supply unit (PSU) has sufficient wattage and the necessary PCIe power connectors (e.g., 8-pin or 6+2-pin) for the RTX 5060. Consult your PSU manual for details.
• Motherboard: Verify your motherboard has an available PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. The card is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0 slots, but performance may be limited.
• Case Clearance: Check your PC case for adequate space to accommodate the graphics card's dimensions (12.55 x 5.23 x 0.04 inches).
• Drivers: Download the latest NVIDIA drivers for the RTX 5060 from the official NVIDIA website before installation, if possible, or after the physical installation.

2. Physical Installation

1. Prepare Your System:

   Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Open your computer case.

2. Locate PCIe Slot:

   Identify an available PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard. Remove any expansion slot covers from your PC case that correspond to the graphics card's size (typically two or three slots).

3. Install the Graphics Card:

   Carefully align the graphics card with the PCIe slot. Press down firmly and evenly until the card is securely seated in the slot. You should hear a click from the retention clip.
