Colourful is making ready to launch a pair of iGame RTX 4060 Ti Mini graphics playing cards. Curiously, certainly one of them is a 16GB model. Each are in any other case an identical, measuring in at a comparatively tiny 195mm in size. They’re nonetheless twin slot+ playing cards and are a bit of tall to be true Mini-ITX playing cards, however it’s nice to see producers displaying extra love for small type components.
The truth that they’re RTX 4060 Ti’s, and never the extra energy environment friendly RTX 4060 (a minimum of not but) is notable. With a 165W TDP, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is not referred to as an influence hungry card, but it surely’s nonetheless a problem to accommodate its AD106 GPU into smaller type components.
The itemizing was noticed by Videocardz. Appears are all the time within the eye of the beholder, however I actually like the easy and enticing design. Its white fan, brushed steel shroud and splash of purple look nice.
The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is not setting the world on hearth due to its worth premium over the 8GB model, however worth apart, it’s extra fascinating than the 8GB model and as we transfer into 2024, the additional VRAM will solely be helpful. If it ever drops in worth, a reassessment will certainly be wanted.
The general dimension of the Colourful RTX 4060 Ti Mini means it will likely be in a position to be housed in small type issue instances, however not the smallest ones. We have seen a couple of low profile playing cards, together with the ASRock Arc A380 Low Profile and a newly launched Gigabyte RTX 4060 Low Profile. They’re welcome choices, however they’re nonetheless twin slot playing cards. Will a vendor make the leap and launch a single slot card?
I will admit that by way of quantity and warmth sink space, a twin slot low profile card and a full dimension single slot card will find yourself a lot the identical. Each are in a position to be housed in compact instances, however my considering is that true low profile instances aren’t CPU cooler pleasant, whereas bigger instances are likely to have house for full sized twin or triple slot playing cards that add to their quantity. Extra choices in between can be fascinating to see.
An RTX 4060 Ti in a single slot type issue is unlikely, however an RTX 4060? It is obtained a 115W TDP, so it is doable if there is a will.
The Colourful iGame RTX 4060 Ti Mini will attraction to many. Having a 16GB card that may play all trendy titles, with DLSS 3 and Body Era in a type issue as small as this can undoubtedly attraction to SFF followers (I am certainly one of them).
For now there is not any phrase on worth or availability, but when or when it will get launched in markets exterior of China, a $499 worth is a reasonably protected guess. Let’s hope all RTX 4060 Ti’s drop in worth. The upcoming RX 7800 XT may power a re-think.
