Gigabyte Builds First Mini-ITX GTX 970 Graphics Card

Ooooo, what other card does it perform like? I would love this card if it is close to the 970.

EasyLover... Nvidia should get all the love, they had the best product and yet they released it at a lower price, that's honorable.

Most of my graphic cards have been ATI/AMD but now I'm going green :v

Thanks to nVIDIA for releasing 900 series at reasonable price. Comparing 700 from nVIDIA series and R9 from AMD series one can tell that nVIDIA cards were expensive. This was my point actually.

If you don't know cooling, you won't build a good mini-itx box. I have a PICO PSU compatible case and boy is it tonight. The card would be too tall to fit, but it almost fits in my had as the PSU is external

I N C R E D I B L E. I think that's exactly what many people want to see. I'm tired of long cards and the way they sag. It looks like Gigabyte even added a backplate. I really hope Mini ITX cards become a trend soooooooooooooon

I see that the PS requirement is 400W according to Gigabytes specifications. Is this because of the lower clock speed or is it a typo? The usual specification is 550W, I also see that the standard 970 requires 28A on the +12V rail.

Anyone know if a Silverstone SFX 450W with 36A on the +12V single rail is enough? I am trying to think of having some head room just in case.

If the PS requirement is correct I may get this myself too.

Actually, Galax has had one on sale for about a month now (so they seem to have beaten Gigabyte to the "first").

Are anyone reviewing this?

I know it reads that it's meant for ITX and mATX motherboards but I was wondering would this fit on a normal ATX board. I image the distance from the edge of the port to the case and the PCI slot itself are all standard?

My future build will be micro-ATX and I was thinking of buying this in the meantime but I need to be sure my bubbling exciting won't be crushed when I want to plug it in and find it doesn't fit 😀

Yeah the PCI-E port and such will still be the same size, it is literally just a shorter length.

I just got this GPU in the mail, and I had been wondering about the 400W requirement as well.. seems to hold true.

Cool, I am glad to hear that. I plan on buying one soon myself.
