ASUS is a company extremely well known for always trying to stay at the forefront, whether at the level of components or peripherals, and this time it could not miss an area in which it is a specialist, graphics cards with a different form factor. And the new ones GPU who offers ASUS with its range Prime Series They are looking to adopt the SFF (Small Form Factor) that NVIDIA wants to apply to some of its graphics, thus improving their compatibility.
Lately we have seen how many people have recognized the sizes that graphics cards can have as a big problem, since it is quite common to see how these types of components have increased in size in recent years. This is one of the reasons why NVIDIA wants to adopt a new form factor that allows both the graphics cards and the cases of our computers to adopt a much smaller size, but without affecting the cooling or the power that ‘they can offer.
A form factor to make graphics much more compatible
As one can imagine, one of the reasons why Nvidia wants to try to implement a form factor that makes the GPU being smaller means obtaining better compatibility, considerably expanding the catalog that they can offer, and therefore the market that they reach. It is increasingly common to see some people choosing to choose computers that do not take up too much space, since this type of PC not only allows us to place them anywhere, but is also easier to transport.
And it is clear that if we are talking about a field which has since ASUS They already know this perfectly, having offered for many years cards
Moreover, since Nvidia they wanted these versions of their GPU They only applied to some of the most current models and that mayor performance can offer, but ASUS is not a company known for only developing certain graphics models, so they started with the lowest performing versions.
The ASUS Prime series offers a lot more variety than we think
In the announcement he made Nvidia indicating the new graphics Ready for SFF, have indicated that they want to focus this form factor mainly on cards capable of offering the highest performance, i.e. 4070 SUPER models or later. This would have significantly limited some people who are on a more limited budget and cannot afford one of the company’s higher performance video cards, which while cheaper due to the reduction in size and cost manufacturing, will still have fairly high prices. .
But one of the advantages of ASUS is that they know their consumers, so they decided to start at the beginning, and that is that their new Prime Series graphics offer NVIDIA’s SFF-Ready starting with all graphics which have lower performance than the SUPER. In this case they have presented three so far, the 4060 Ti Prime, the 4070 Prime and the 4070 SUPER Prime, the latter being the only one that uses a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector.
