• Zotac ZBOX MAGNUS EN275060TC fits a desktop RTX 5060 Ti efficiently
• RTX 5060 Ti delivers performance close to the 5070 Ti laptop GPU
• Hybrid PCIe design powers the GPU without requiring external connectors

Zotac has released the ZBOX MAGNUS EN275060TC, a mini PC that places a full desktop GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB inside a 2.65-liter frame.

The system uses a custom discrete GPU design that operates without a traditional external power connector, relying instead on a hybrid PCIe structure described as “PCIe x8 5.0 + x8 5.0.”

Its 19-volt system input is routed to the graphics card through a secondary lane, while the main PCIe 5.0 x8 connection provides the expected bandwidth for GPU operation.

Desktop and laptop GPU performance comparison

Performance data based on thousands of PassMark samples places the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB close to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU.

Both models entered the benchmark charts in the second quarter of 2025 with support for DirectX 12_2 and OpenGL 4.6.

The desktop RTX 5060 Ti carries a $500 price, offers 16GB of memory, runs at higher clock speeds, and records a G3D Mark score of 22,785.

Its cost-to-performance metric stands at 45.57 G3D marks per dollar, which gives it a clear value advantage.
