As a devoted fan of all issues Mini-ITX, I like it when producers assume exterior the field, or maybe extra appropriately inside it, by shrinking a graphics card this fashion or that. That is why I used to be more than happy to see Colourful is engaged on a single slot RTX 4060 Ti 16GB card. It is the one efficiency gaming graphics card in a single slot kind issue that I can keep in mind from the previous few years, giving SFF followers an attention-grabbing possibility.
The cardboard was noticed by @Zed_Wang. It measures in at 267 mm x 107 mm x 20 mm. It consists of 4 show outputs made up of three DisplayPorts and one HDMI port. That leaves it simply sufficient space on the rear I/O plate for a cutout to expel sizzling air.
A single slot RTX 4060 Ti is the sort of card that can enchantment to customers with actually tiny circumstances, whereas delivering the efficiency of a correct gaming card. Having a 16GB card that may make use of DLSS 3 and body era in a NUC sized system is certainly interesting.
It is attention-grabbing that Colourful opted for the RTX 4060 Ti—and the 16GB variant at that, as a substitute of the 115W RTX 4060. The RTX 4060 Ti is constructed across the AD106 GPU, with 4,532 shader items, a 2,535Mhz increase clock and a 165W TDP. That TDP, whereas comparatively low, remains to be a giant ask for a single slot cooler, so such a card will certainly turn into fairly audible when below load. However hey, in the event you put on headphones, it is not such as you’d be bothered by it anyway.
There are already RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti small kind issue choices, and so they could also be preferable relying in your needs and desires. Colourful itself makes them, together with the stunning little iGame RTX 4060 Ti Mini. Gigabyte makes a low profile RTX 4060 in the event you desire that possibility, however each playing cards nonetheless take up two slots which makes it more durable to cram a number of right into a single system.
As SLI is now not a factor, the necessity for a number of GPUs for gaming is defunct, however there are a number of eventualities the place this 20mm thick card will enchantment. These embrace methods with a number of screens or video wall setups. Eight video ports would in any other case require a case with 4 slot help. One other use might be one thing like a finances compute system or render farm. Think about if Ethereum mining was nonetheless taking place? Cramming seven of them right into a single ATX case would have been excellent for that.
A Threadripper 7000-series system with six or seven PCIe slots stuffed up with these playing cards would offer numerous space-saving grunt.
Regardless of being impressed with this single slot card, it is nonetheless very a lot a distinct segment product. You may get extra succesful and quieter cooling from an everyday twin slot cooler. Nonetheless, it is good to have an exceedingly uncommon single slot possibility for people who need it.
There isn’t any phrase on value proper now, however it’s virtually sure to fall in on the backside finish of RTX 4060 Ti 16GB pricing, so round $449 to $499 can be a secure guess.
