The Card
The white color theme on Galax's card looks great. Thanks to the short PCB, a lot of the backplate is cut out to allow airflow through the card. On the back you'll find a metal backplate.
RGB lighting elements have been integrated in both fan hubs and near the top edge of the card.
Dimensions of the card are 25.0 x 13.0 cm, and it weighs 661 g.
Installation requires two slots in your system.
Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1a (same as Ampere).
The new 8th Gen NVENC now accelerates AV1 encoding, besides HEVC. You also get an "optical flow accelerator" unit that is able to calculate intermediate frames for videos, to smooth playback. The same hardware unit is used for frame generation in DLSS 3.
Galax opted for a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, together with PCIe slot power, this configuration is good for up to 225 W.
Teardown
The thermal solution on the Galax RTX 4060 Ti EX White uses three heatpipes. The main heatsink also provides cooling for the memory chips and VRM circuitry.
The backplate is made of metal and protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
