There's Finally A GeForce RTX 40 Series Graphics Card With A Single Slot Cooler
GALAX has launched the thinnest RTX 40 card thus far with its RTX 4060 Ti Unparalleled Max, a single-slot graphics card that's just 20mm thick. The single-slot form factor is usually reserved for professional or workstation cards, and GALAX's new model is (as far as we know) the first single-slot RTX 40 card. Even though it has a relatively weak, blower-style cooler, this RTX 4060 Ti (previously thought to have been made by Colorful) is definitely the fastest single-slot gaming GPU now.
