GIGABYTE shipped a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card to a buyer in Canada with incorrect branding on the exterior shroud. The unit arrived with a side bracket displaying Radeon logos instead of the expected GeForce markings. This manufacturing error creates a confusing mix of AMD and NVIDIA branding on a single product.
Similar incident occurred five months ago with RX 9060 XT
A Reddit user reported receiving the card with the wrong side bracket and noted that the backplate correctly identified the product as a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX model. The internal components function as a genuine RTX 5060 Ti. The buyer confirmed that only the external shroud part was physically mismatched with the internal hardware.
This incident follows a similar report from five months earlier involving a different customer. That user ordered a Radeon card but received a GeForce unit inside the box. The sticker on that card identified it as an RX 9060 XT. Both reported cards were confirmed to be genuine and fully functional despite the cosmetic errors.
The buyer who received the RTX 5060 Ti with Radeon branding explained that GIGABYTE uses the same case design for both Radeon and GeForce cards. This shared casing allows the parts to be physically compatible during assembly. The error likely occurred when the factory installed a Radeon side bracket onto a GeForce card chassis.
GIGABYTE has not issued an official statement regarding the specific root cause of these assembly mix-ups. The company has not confirmed whether this is an isolated incident or part of a broader production issue. The affected customers have shared photographic evidence to support their claims.
