Maxsun's RTX 5060 Low-Profile packs three fans into a shoebox-sized card
If you've ever tried to build a small-form-factor PC with a capable GPU, you know the trade-off: go compact and sacrifice performance, or buy a full-size card and give up on ever closing the case. Maxsun is pitching a third option with its GeForce RTX 5060 LP 8G S0 — a low-profile card built on NVIDIA's new Blackwell architecture that measures just 182 × 69 × 36 mm. The catch is the price: roughly 3,399 CNY, or around $500, at a time when standard RTX 5060 cards carry a $299 MSRP.
A Motorola in Legion clothing
The RTX 5060 LP 8G S0 runs NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture with 3,840 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR7 memory — the same spec sheet as a full-height RTX 5060, just squeezed into a bracket about the height of two credit cards. Maxsun says clock speeds and power draw match NVIDIA's official specifications, so there's no aggressive factory overclock to compensate for the form factor.
The cooling system uses a copper base plate and heat pipes, with thermal silicone pads on the memory and power delivery components. Three fans — yes, three — sit across that 69 mm height. Officially the TDP for the RTX 5060 sits at 145 W, so the triple-fan layout makes some sense on paper. Whether it stays quiet under a gaming load is a question that independent reviews will need to answer; Notebookcheck's Zotac RTX 5060 LP review confirmed the form factor performs on par with full-height RTX 5060 cards, but noted noise trade-offs under load.
On the back panel, four display outputs cover three DisplayPort and one HDMI, supporting resolutions up to 7680 × 4320. That makes it plausible as a compact workstation card, not just a gaming option for tight cases.
Not easy to buy outside China
Maxsun sells primarily in Asia and has no confirmed distribution in the US or UK. The low-profile RTX 5060 market here is already covered by ASUS, Gigabyte, INNO3D, and ZOTAC — all of which announced their own three-fan LP RTX 5060 designs. Gigabyte's version shares nearly identical dimensions (182 × 69 mm) and is the model most likely to appear on retail shelves in North America and the UK.
The $500 price tag reflects a real market reality: low-profile GPUs always carry a premium because the engineering cost is higher and the audience is smaller. For a mini-ITX build or a compact workstation where space genuinely matters, that extra cost can be justified. For everyone else, a standard RTX 5060 at $299 does the same job with more room to breathe — and almost certainly less noise.
