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.

Probably a godsend for people still enjoying their low profile cases, but the SFF market has definitely shifted towards NR200/Terra style cases.

This is the card I was looking for my HTPC, finally I can get rid of that trash AMD 6400.

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.

Huh? It's the same card? You are aware that Aorus is a sub-brand of Gigabyte, right?

Uhm, it's right there...

Even though the 4060 (Ti) is a total joke, this is a reasonable SKU. Props to Gigabyte for making a low-profile one.

Nope, I wasn't, so what's the different before Aorus and Gigabyte?
Aorus has been Gigabytes gaming brand for quite a few years now, just like Asus has ROG.
Looked it up, it'll be 15 years since the brand was registered this year.

This is AWESOME! o_O

I hope it isn't too noisy, though.

Hopefully TPU gets one for review, its quite refreshing to see something out of ordinary(lazy engineers slapping heatsinks from flagship class GPUs) this time around.

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?!!!

ROG is not a brand, is just a line within their products, Aorus is a brand, DELL bought Alienware some years ago, now you can find Alienware in DELL website, but AFAIK, Gigabyte website doesn't shows Aorus items.

I had a card from MSi that came with a heatsink that extended above the screw that held the bracket in place, so if you wanted to put the LP bracket on, you had to remove the heatsink first, voiding your warranty.

:confused: They have Aorus, Aero and Gigabyte.
Don't let it confuse you - they're all the same manufacturer under different brand names.

i don't know what's worse... that NVidia calls this abomination of a 1030 a 60 Class Card or that they charge over 300 bucks for it...

It's far more than a 1030, but I agree that 300 quid is a bit too steep.

And Asus has ROG, TUF, Prime and ProArt...
Your point being?

And how is ROG not a brand?

Rog is Asus, in the box says asus, same for TUF, Prime and ProArt, but Aorus is a brand, it doesn't says Gigabyte Aorus, that's the difference.

I had a card from MSi that came with a heatsink that extended above the screw that held the bracket in place, so if you wanted to put the LP bracket on, you had to remove the heatsink first, voiding your warranty.
I had to do the same with my trash 6400, I had to remove the heatsink in order to install the low profile bracket.
Don't let it confuse you - they're all the same manufacturer under different brand names.
Yes, but that's what I'm saying, why they have different brand names instead of lines as with asus, with ASUS, TUF, ProArt are just a line not a brand, the only "closer" manufacturer that does something similar is DELL with Alienware, but that makes sense because they bought that brand.

And? Have you heard of Lincoln, which is a division of Ford, or Lexus, which is a division of Toyota, or HyperX, which used to be a brand of Kingston until they sold it to HP? Yes, all HyperX gear is made by HP.

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.

I had to do the same with my trash 6400, I had to remove the heatsink in order to install the low profile bracket.
What 6400 is that? I had one from Sapphire and didn't encounter that problem.

4060 Ti has a poor VRAM/$ ratio. 4060 non-Ti fails to deliver the level of power efficiency that other Ada GPUs do. In the NVIDIA world, you can only choose between bad and very bad.

I don't know. RX 7600 or 2080 level performance with a 115 W TDP isn't too bad. Actually, if I wanted to buy an Ada card, the 4060 would be the only one I'd consider (just not for 300 quid).
