PowerColor Readies SFF-friendly Radeon RX 5700 ITX: Single 8-pin, Idle-Fan-Off
PowerColor is readying a small form-factor friendly custom-design Radeon RX 5700 graphics card, called simply the PowerColor RX 5700 ITX. With a length of 17.5 cm, standard 11 cm height, and strictly 2-slot thickness, the card uses a dense aluminium fin-stack heatsink with four 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the GPU at the base, ventilated by a single 80 mm fan. More interestingly, the card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector (225 W max power input for the connector + PCIe slot).
Unsurprisingly, the PowerColor RX 5700 ITX sticks to AMD-reference clock-speeds of 1465 MHz base, 1625 MHz gaming, and 1725 MHz boost, with the memory ticking at 14 Gbps (GDDR6-effective). Despite its compact cooling solution, the card does not skimp on idle-fan-off. Display outputs include two DisplayPort 1.4, and one HDMI 2.0. Based on the 7 nm "Navi 10" silicon, the RX 5700 features 2,304 stream processors across 36 RDNA compute units, 144 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and a 256-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, holding 8 GB of memory. PowerColor didn't reveal pricing of the card, as it will formally launch it later this month.

That's probably the best and most viable upgrade for my ITX rig, but I'll wait a bit for reviews....
"the card is only sold at one Japanese website."

Only issue is it is Japan release so far hopefully they will fix this and reach to all customers in the world in near future.
I HAVE GOT YOU COVERED FELLOW HUMAN. WHAT A GOOD JOKE. HA. HA. HA.
This would be perfect in a 3600X ITX build.
Seriously I do wonder who is doing marketing and B2B sales over there sometimes
Japan might be the only county with small cars... but
Because this forum is full of very direct attacks on Intel and I've never seen you react.You may not like how he said it, but the design is weird.
Have you seen something like that lately?
Companies experienced in designing ITX cards - MSI and Gigabyte - offer short single-fan cards with 4 video outputs even with RTX 2070 (which uses more power than 5700, but with less heat concentration).
So this card is basically a very hot 5700 paired with potentially a very basic cooling solution from PowerColor.
That having been said, there have been ITX versions of GTX cards. Looking forward to RTX versions.
Best,
