As a devoted fan of all issues Mini-ITX, I find it irresistible when producers assume exterior the field, or maybe extra appropriately inside it, by shrinking a graphics card this manner 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 type issue that I can keep in mind from the previous couple of years, giving SFF followers an fascinating 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 type of card that can enchantment to customers with actually tiny instances, whereas delivering the efficiency of a correct gaming card. Having a 16GB card that may make use of DLSS 3 and body technology in a NUC sized system is unquestionably interesting.
It is fascinating that Colourful opted for the RTX 4060 Ti—and the 16GB variant at that, as an alternative of the 115W RTX 4060. The RTX 4060 Ti is constructed across the AD106 GPU, with 4,532 shader models, a 2,535Mhz enhance 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 change into fairly audible when underneath load. However hey, in the event you put on headphones, it isn’t such as you’d be bothered by it anyway.
There are already RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti small type issue choices, and so they could also be preferable relying in your desires and wishes. 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 not a factor, the necessity for a number of GPUs for gaming is defunct, however there are a number of situations the place this 20mm thick card will enchantment. These embody programs with a number of screens or video wall setups. Eight video ports would in any other case require a case with 4 slot assist. One other use might be one thing like a funds compute system or render farm. Think about if Ethereum mining was nonetheless occurring? 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 supply loads of space-saving grunt.
Regardless of being impressed with this single slot card, it is nonetheless very a lot a distinct segment product. You will get extra succesful and quieter cooling from a daily twin slot cooler. Nonetheless, it is good to have an exceedingly uncommon single slot possibility for those who need it.
There is no phrase on value proper now, however it’s nearly sure to fall in on the backside finish of RTX 4060 Ti 16GB pricing, so round $449 to $499 can be a secure wager.
