MSI Readying GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB GAMING X Slim White Model

[T0@st]

NVIDIA add-in card (AIC) partners are reported to be taking a nonchalant approach to producing new custom designs for NVIDIA's upcoming launch (July 18) of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB graphics card. The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB variant arrived back in late May to yet another lukewarm reception for the Ada Lovelace generation—Team Green's board partners are likely anticipating that the 16 GB model's MSRP of $499 is not going to generate enough interest or buzz within the PC gaming hardware community.

MSI could be going against the grain with the introduction of a new custom design for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB GPU—in the form of its GAMING X Slim White model—as discovered by hongxing2020. This appears to be a white alternative to the company's GAMING TRIO X cooling solution—with a (slightly) slender redesign and RGB lighting strips placed in different positions, although the pale aesthetic does not extend to the PCB and heatsink fins. MSI's fancy GAMING X liveries usually add some extra expense to base prices (+$60 for the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Gaming X Trio), so this new white model could be sold for more than $559.

Slim????

Slim????

welll compared to that alleged 4090Ti....everything is slim

In the age of 4 slot coolers, 2 slot is slim.

At these power levels, they could have easily made it compact and slim, 2 slot 2 fan, and sold it at MSRP or lower, but no.

If this is slim I should've died of starvation a million years ago.

4060 Ti could easily be a borderline normal size, that of GTX 1070 or so, yet being size-comparable with whales is now totally normalised.

By 2030, you will need two lorries, one for a card and another for the PSU for that GPU.

559e - no thanks. Although visually looks good.

 

[WorringlyIndifferent]

$559 for a 3070 16GB

lmao

"We have a card that is a tough sell, sir."
"Make it white and mark it up."

Slim means reduced heatsink thickness and therefore higher temperatures?

Slim means reduced heatsink thickness and therefore higher temperatures?

The 4060 Ti doesn't require much for cooling.

They could've slapped a single slot blower on that with all honesty.

Exactly, I am surprised it has 3 fans

It's just business. For every extra fan they pay $1 more, while charging the customer $20 more.

It's gorgeous, but so effing expensive.

I'd love a 4070ti/4080 with this cooler/aesthetic - but I don't own an emerald mine.

I love the design, especially the large cut-out in the backplate, but I'm not a fan of white PC parts. Also, I wouldn't call it slim.
