Colorful is set to launch the cutest little RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

Colourful is getting ready to launch a pair of iGame RTX 4060 Ti Mini graphics playing cards. Apparently, certainly one of them is a 16GB model. Each are in any other case equivalent, measuring in at a comparatively tiny 195mm in size. They’re nonetheless twin slot+ playing cards and are slightly 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 (at the least not but) is notable. With a 165W TDP, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is not often called an influence hungry card, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a problem to accommodate its AD106 GPU into smaller type components. 

The itemizing was noticed by Videocardz. Appears are at all times within the eye of the beholder, however I actually like the straightforward and enticing design. Its white fan, brushed metallic shroud and splash of pink look nice. 

The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is not setting the world on hearth due to its value premium over the 8GB model, however value 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 value, a reassessment will certainly be wanted.

The general dimension of the Colourful RTX 4060 Ti Mini means it is going to 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 pondering is that true low profile instances aren’t CPU cooler pleasant, whereas bigger instances are inclined to have area for full sized twin or triple slot playing cards that add to their quantity. Extra choices in between could be attention-grabbing to see.

An RTX 4060 Ti in a single slot type issue is unlikely, however an RTX 4060? It is acquired a 115W TDP, so it is doable if there is a will. 

The Colourful iGame RTX 4060 Ti Mini will enchantment to many. Having a 16GB card that may play all fashionable titles, with DLSS 3 and Body Era in a type issue as small as this can undoubtedly enchantment to SFF followers (I am certainly one of them). 

For now there isn’t any phrase on value or availability, but when or when it will get launched in markets exterior of China, a $499 value is a reasonably protected guess. Let’s hope all RTX 4060 Ti’s drop in value. The upcoming RX 7800 XT may drive a re-think.
