MSI Low-Profile Arc A380 Graphics Card Pictured

Here are the first pictures of a low-profile Intel Arc A380 graphics card by MSI. The half-height card is 2 slots thick, and is probably the first A380 card we've come across that appears to lack a power connector. The card surfaced on Japanese IT news portals, when a DAIV-built commercial desktop was disassembled revealing this low-profile card. The desktop combines a Core i7-12700 with this A380 card. The card appears to feature a complex aluminium fin-stack heatsink instead of a cheap aluminium monoblock one. The typical board power of A380 running at stock frequencies is exactly 75 W, and so MSI could build this card without any power connectors. Other board partners have been known to include at least a 6-pin connector to minimize power draw from the slot.

This is how this GPU should look like.

Media centric office machine, with good media engine un where the Arc actually excels and low TDP allowing it to use in constrained SSF cases.

Simply there is no use expecting from this silicon more.

Missed opportunity with that fan over the graphics card. Flip the fan, and you get better thermals because it will help with exhausting the GPU's heat.
