If you’re shopping in the £350-ish bracket, the big question with an RTX 5060 is whether you actually need “new-gen” features right now—or whether you’ll get better value stretching a little to a stronger tier. The ASUS Dual is a sensible, dependable model in the Dual line: it’s typically a good pick for businesses that want quiet-ish operation and a straightforward install without paying for flashy extras. For office-adjacent workflows—CAD light work, smaller GPU-accelerated tasks, content creation basics—it’ll be perfectly fine, and the 8GB of VRAM is the usual constraint you’ll want to keep an eye on if your work is more “heavy projects” than “occasional bursts.”
That said, I wouldn’t buy it blindly for workstation longevity. If you’re doing anything where datasets, textures, or multi-monitor 3D workloads grow over time, 8GB can become the thing that pushes you to lower settings sooner than you’d like. Also, if this is for AI tinkering or render pipelines, the real-world value depends heavily on what software stack you’re using—some benefit more than others. My honest advice: buy it if your use case is well-defined and you’re confident 8GB won’t be a bottleneck; skip it if you want a “set-and-forget” upgrade with strong headroom, because in this price band you may find better-performing options that stretch further.
