Gigabyte Quietly Launches Low Profile GeForce RTX 4060 Graphics Card
Low profile graphics cards have always been something of a niche market, but they've found homes in many HTPC builds over the years, especially passively cooled cards. Now Gigabyte has launched a rather odd looking low profile NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 based graphics card that simply goes under the name of GeForce RTX 4060 OC Low Profile 8G. The 182 x 69 x 40 (D x H x W) mm card still manages to pack in three fans and requires an 8-pin power connector to work, which somewhat unfortunately plugs in at the rear of the card, although there wouldn't have been too many other locations to place it. This means that this card might not work in some Mini-ITX builds, due to the card being too long once the power connector is plugged in.
The card width should've given away that we're looking at a dual slot card, which is also pretty obvious from the pictures. Gigabyte provides a full height and a low profile bracket with the card, which not all low profile cards have shipped with in the past, so this is a plus. Connectivity wise, the GeForce RTX 4060 OC Low Profile 8G comes with two DP 1.4a and two HDMI 2.1a ports, making this a card well suited for HTPC usage. Gigabyte has even overclocked the GPU from 2460 MHz to 2475 MHz, which seems quite pointless and is unlikely to bring any huge performance advantages over stock clock speeds.
Update Aug 24th: During a recent meeting with Gigabyte we had a chance to go hands-on with their new RTX 4060 Low Profile card, here's some photos.

I was trying to find pictures for the 8 PIN power but in their website doesn't shows any.
Where can I but it?
Aorus also has one.

Looked it up, it'll be 15 years since the brand was registered this year.
I hope it isn't too noisy, though.
Will there be a review of the card?
That is the single most frustrating thing I have dealt with in the PC industry to date; Trying to find a low-profile card that meets the requirements, only to find that it doesn't come with a low-profile bracket in the box. Whhhhyyyy?!!!
Your point being?
And how is ROG not a brand?

You don't need the manufacturer's name on the box for the product to be made by that manufacturer. I honestly don't know why you find this so hard to understand.What 6400 is that? I had one from Sapphire and didn't encounter that problem.
