GIGABYTE Unveils the GeForce GTX 1070 ITX Graphics Card
GIGABYTE is the first to market with a mini-ITX friendly GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. The GTX 1070 ITX from GIGABYTE (model: GV-N1070IXOC-8GD), features a full-height PCB that's 16.9 cm in length, 13.1 cm in height, and is 2 slots thick. It features a single-fan aluminium fin-stack cooling solution that consists of a dense aluminium fin-stack to which heat directly drawn from the GPU is conveyed by three copper heat pipes, ventilated by a 90 mm fan.
The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. You still get a neat factory overclock of 1531 MHz core and 1721 MHz GPU Boost in Gaming mode, and 1556 MHz core and 1746 MHz GPU Boost in OC mode. The memory is left untouched at 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective). Display connectors include two dual-link DVI, and one each of DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0b. The card is available in some parts of the EU, where it's priced at 485€ (including taxes).Many Thanks to P4-630 for the tip.

There are very few mini itx cases that need a card this short, and the ones that do need a short card cant use a card that goes so far above the expansion slot.
It's nice that gigabyte is making it, and their 1070 and 1080 full size cards are fantastic, but I dont see the point of this one.
AMD probably figured the right size for niche small card.
Or not... :D

Ha, Nano is actually shorter! What, why?
That's the Nvidia + EU tax price for you (DE with 19% VAT).
It's even cheap:

On the other hand, in stock en mass... :D
I guess the answer is fairly simple. Most cards available today are HUGE. You might be fine with that, if you have a large case. If you have a small one and still want a high-end GPU, you'll have only a few cards to choose from (compared to dozens overall). So for Gigabyte to manufacture on of these "few choices" is not a bad idea.
And it's not only for ITX cases, as many mATX cases also won't fit any full-size GTX 1070.
And BTW: AMD R9 nano is selling pretty well (despite being not the best choice value for money). :)
Look at my SFF build.

I need such cards. Not 1070 though. I want 1060. 1070 is out of my budet.
Everyone is talking f$%ing A4-SFX like it's the best ITX case ever, yet no one pays attention that A4-SFX does not exist.
It's price tag is set to 230 euro for Kickstarter backers, so who knows how much will it cost once it's on the market.
Sorry, if I sound like a total asshole, but I'm simply tired of hearing "A4-SFX is awesome" in every ITX-related discussion.
I could technically fit a larger card in there, but I would have to get an SFX power supply. I already have a nice power supply. I would rather buy a card like the one mentioned here and stick it in.
There are smaller cases that could easily fit a larger card than this. But I got this case for $40, the power supply on a tiger direct super sale for $25, the 750ti for $80, the G3258 for $50, the motherboard for $50, the cpu cooler for $25, and the SSD for $50.
This started out as a sub $400 dollar budget build. I was so happy with it I decided to upgrade the cpu to a 4790k. Now I am waiting to see what I can get out of this new generation of GPU's to replace the 750ti.
So again, I am in the market for this gpu.
.......darn it i just worked my way back up to matx.......i thought i was cured......
itx addiction relapse!!!!!!!!!!! After my cosmos 2 build went to the SG05, 2 node 304-1white 1 black and was starting in a core 500.....then i got some help.

that more fits his question then your answer really
I disagree with your statement of not being able to use a 100w+ card in a true ITX case, if the case has been designed with proper GPU intake and ventilation then you can go much higher than 100w without throttling.
I am currently designing a case that is less than 7 Litres and this GTX 1070 ITX card would be ideal for it, it's very exciting news!
The case has been tested with an EVGA GTX 960 SC (120W TDP), the card runs nice and cool with the fan only getting up to around 1400rpm, so there is plenty of cooling headroom left before throttling would kick in.
