Colorful is set to launch the cutest little RTX 4060 Ti 16GB
Colorful is preparing to launch a pair of iGame RTX 4060 Ti Mini graphics cards. Interestingly, one of them is a 16GB version. Both are otherwise identical, measuring in at a relatively tiny 195mm in length. They're still dual slot+ cards and are a little tall to be true Mini-ITX cards, but it is great to see manufacturers showing more love for small form factors.
The fact that they are RTX 4060 Ti's, and not the more power efficient RTX 4060 (at least not yet) is notable. With a 165W TDP, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB isn't known as a power hungry card, but it's still a challenge to accommodate its AD106 GPU into smaller form factors.
The listing was spotted by Videocardz. Looks are always in the eye of the beholder, but I really like the simple and attractive design. Its white fan, brushed metal shroud and splash of red look great.
The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB isn't setting the world on fire because of its price premium over the 8GB version, but price aside, it is more desirable than the 8GB version and as we move into 2024, the extra VRAM will only be beneficial. If it ever drops in price, a reassessment will definitely be needed.
The overall size of the Colorful RTX 4060 Ti Mini means it will be able to be housed in small form factor cases, but not the smallest ones. We've seen a few low profile cards, including the ASRock Arc A380 Low Profile and a newly launched Gigabyte RTX 4060 Low Profile. They're welcome options, but they're still dual slot cards. Will a vendor take the plunge and release a single slot card?
