News MSI Unveils Most Powerful Graphics Card for Mini-ITX: The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Aero ITX

Don't buy unless you have noise cancelling headphones, of if you MUST have an mITX form factor GPU because your mITX case is too small to house a "typical" dual fan GPU.

PS - Seems like the plastic shroud adds unnecessary height in situations like this where a case is too small to house a standard LENGTH GPU.

These ITX cards are perfect for mining. ETH on a 3600TI hashes at 60MH with a total board power of 107W. MSI also provides a 5-year warranty on them (or did last time I got an ITX from them with the same fan/cooler)
So absolutely no chance of buying one, much like all current-gen graphics cards.

“MSI decided not to overclock the GA104 processor, so it cannot boost beyond 1665MHz.”

Of course it can. On stock settings it will easily boost high in the 1900’s.

That's crazy you already have one and tested the manufacturer fan curve and a custom curve for temps and db! Must be lucky cause its not even released let alone chasing stock drops.

The shroud is not making it double slot its the heatsink and fan. If it were an entry level 25w gpu then a fanless naked heatsink is fine but on a 3060 w/200w tdp its not possible even if it is power throttled.
