RTX 4000 SFF Delivers RTX 3060 Ti-Like Performance At 65% Lower Power : Read more

The RTX 4000 SFF has a MSRP of $1,250 so no one out of their mind would purchase it for gaming.

Actually, you would need to be out of your mind to buy one for gaming.. Unless you are aiming for the best possible performance-per-watt for a specific reason.

$1250 is not a lot of money. I spend more than that every month on beer and Starbucks and candles. Maybe I'll try getting some of these tiny graphics cards instead.

Limited to a 160-bit memory interface, the RTX 4000 SFF's 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory chips can only deliver a memory bandwidth of up to 280 GB/s.

It appears that this card has different specs, especially the bandwidth value, which is stated as 320 GB/s in some spec sheets, whereas 280 on others. I checked multiple websites/vendor sites like PNY, Leadtek, and there are conflicting bandwidth values.

I think this could be due to card using either 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory chips, or 16 Gbps. Which would give us the exact bandwidth value of 280 or 320 GB/s. Maybe there are 2 SKUs Nvidia is selling.

But I'm sure there are 2 variants in the market. Which is kind of weird, since there has been no official confirmation from NVIDIA on the usage of different memory chips.

Here it says 280GB/s.

Tested for gaming performance but they did not try to overclock it, very disappointed!

Ok Nvidia ! now can you please release the SFF gaming card version please ?

If I could go without Starbucks and candles for one month I could get one, but I don't think I have the will power.

Out of curiosity, are you being serious or sarcastic?

That would be a good invest!

The missing point here: this could be the long-missing (since the GTX 1050ti & 1650) low-power, low-end of the current GPU line for those who can't or don't want to use the GPU as a room heater. Not clear, though, whether it in fact runs entirely from the PCIe bus, not needing a separate power connector. At 70W, it should. Unfortunately, the price is kind of ridiculous for such a GPU.

Also not clear: is this just a laptop part repackaged on a PCIe card?
