When we see any of the new graphics that NVIDIA and AMD offer us, we can always think that they are extremely large because ultimately this type of components, due to the power they have, require great cooling, this is the main reason why they have so much size. But they are not all like that, since ASUS presented his chart which you can use even in a minicomputer.
When choosing a video card we can always have the problem that it does not fit in our case, either because of its width or its length. It’s because of it ASUS offers us its solution that can be used even on the smallest motherboards, its version Low profile Since RTX4060. This model offers all the specifications that one would expect from a 4060 in a reduced space and with a two-slot design, which allows for better cooling.
What are its technical specifications?
It’s really a 4060, so we can expect everything that the normal models of these graphics cards offer us, since what really changes in this design is the size of the graphics card itself. Although we might think that it is still large, compared to the rest of the versions of this video card, it is quite small, since it only measures 188x69x39mmwhich implies that they are 13 centimeters less in length, 7 centimeters less in height and 2 centimeters less in width than what can be found in the rest of the models of this version.
As we said, in terms of power it is really not up to par, since the only thing it has less than a normal model is that the base clock speed works at 2460 MHzwhile overclocked can reach up to 2490 MHz. There is a loss of speed compared to the 4060 normal of approximately 200 MHzbut otherwise there is no difference.
Why are these graphics good for a mini PC?
As we well know, miniature computers lack a lot of space, so they usually do not use an external graphics processing unit, but rather always use the integrated graphics card of the processor they have. This can sometimes be bad, because playing casually may not have much effect depending on the game, because if you end up buying a triple A that is not extremely well optimized, the normal thing is that it will be almost impossible to play.
Creation of graphics Low profile, allows us to integrate them into this type of computers that occupy a small space, so that we can enjoy the greatest power in a small size. Although usually when you have a case that is too small the problem does not come from the power that the components can have but rather from the cooling, that is why they are usually modified so that they do not work at 100%, because this could cause an overheating problem.
