Zotac readies compact GeForce RTX 5060 for Mini-ITX systems
Scoop: Zotac Unleashes Compact GeForce RTX 5060 Cards!
Small but mighty, that's the motto for Zotac's latest offerings – the low-profile and Mini-ITX versions of the coveted GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards. Designed for systems with limited space, these nifty cards promise top-tier performance without compromising on power efficiency.
The new cards, unveiled at Computex, come equipped with the GB206 graphics processing unit, boasting 3840 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR7 memory with a 128-bit interface. The Mini-ITX version flaunts four display connectors while the low-profile variant settles for three.
Cooling down the high-quality heat, the Zotac Gaming Mini-ITX GeForce RTX 5060 sports a single-fan cooling system, packed with multiple heat pipes. In contrast, the low-profile card sports a triple-fan cooler to handle its 145W total board power – a sight that's not uncommon for such graphics boards. To ensure compatibility with budget systems, both cards feature an eight-pin auxiliary PCIe power connector.
While the world of PC gaming hardware keeps pushing the limits to squeeze every watt of power, finding gaming graphics cards in compact low-profile or Mini-ITX form-factors has become a rarity. However, Zotac stands as a beacon of hope, catering to specific markets with innovative and appealing offerings.
These compact cards will hit the shelves this summer, and the best part? They’re expected to be priced close to Nvidia's suggested retail price of $299 for the RTX 5060 series [1][2][5]. Will Zotac keep prices competitive or will they charge a premium for exclusivity? Only time will tell.
