Gigabyte revises its GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming OC PRO 8G graphics card - now 11 mm shorter

[Redaktion]

Gigabyte has added a sort-of-new product to its graphics card range in the form of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming OC PRO 8G (rev 2.0). Desktop PC builders will likely be intrigued by the revisions that have been made to this RTX 3060 Ti variant, but it appears the biggest difference to the original model is a height reduction.

Wonder if they fixed the real issue, the way the power connectors are passed through and often get pushed in or broken.

Who cares? Another mysterious card only miners would see.

Given that this seems to be an entirely new PCB with the power connectors in an entirely different location, it sounds unlikely for an issue like that to carry over IMO.

As for the card itself, I guess it's good that AIB makers are moving their 3060 Tis off 3070 boards and cooler and onto more made-to-order solutions instead - this should bring down production costs and thus make MSRPs at least somewhat more realistic. If the cards were available at all, that is.

Btw, wouldn't 11mm thinner be much more accurate? The length of a GPU is generally seen as the longest measurement of most GPUs, the measurement parallel to the PCIe slot, from the front to the back of a standard ATX case installation or from the rear I/O to the opposite end of said GPU. That measurement is unchanged, what has changed is the thickness, or vertical height if you're one of those people who insist that GPUs should be talked about as if they're installed in a case despite this never being how they're pictured. Either way, "shorter" is misleading.
