In China, compact RTX 4060s are much more readily available than at home. There, they already have a whole range of cards, including Zotac, Colorful, Inno3D and Yeston models. Back home, we don’t have many single-fan versions. Gainward’s Pegasus and Zotac’s Solo come to mind!
RTX 4060: four compact versions in China!
When we talk about a compact card, we’re talking about a version with a single fan. In this way, the PCB is kept as short as possible, with a length of between 15 and 20 cm. In this way, the board fits into almost any case on the market. Ideal for anyone wishing to build a living-room ITX PC , for example.
For the record, there’s also a Smart Mini version from Colorful, where the card is distinguished by its green/purple/white and black retro-gaming colored fairing. At present, we don’t know the frequencies, but we do know that it sells for 2349 yuan, or around €300.
With this, we also find Inno3D’s offering, which turns out to be the most compact of the four, but also the most basic. Here, we find a silly machined aluminum radiator mounted on the GPU. The PCB is therefore extremely compact, measuring just 155 mm in length. In view of the cooling system, there’s no factory overclocking with a boost frequency of 2460 MHz. Finally, the price is 2199 yuan (~280 €).
Zotac’s Solo is a 16.5 cm-long model. The board is equipped with a dual heatpipe heatsink with a nickel-plated copper base. Once again, no factory overclocking and an 8-pin PCIe cable for power supply. As for price, we’re talking 2299 yuan or ~292 €.
Finally, we’ve already mentioned Yeston’s Cute Pet version, but a reminder never hurts. This model features a cute shell, a length of 18.8 cm and a heatsink with three 6 mm heat pipes. The model retails for 2399 yuan (~€305) and is not factory OC .
