ASUS Launches GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Graphics Cards with M.2 SSD Expansion Slot

ASUS has released an unusual graphics card GeForce RTX 4060 Ti DUAL OC SSD (DUAL-RTX4060TI-O8G-SSD) with 8 GB of memory, equipped with an integrated M.2 connector for installing an NVMe drive in 2280 format. It should be noted that the idea of ​​​​placing an SSD on a graphics card is not new. AMD previously released a professional graphics card concept Radeon Pro SSG with the same feature that suggested using the solid-state drive as an additional storage buffer. The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti SSD graphics card takes compact gaming power and combines it with an all-new feature: a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot integrated into the backside of the card, offering massive bandwidth for high-performance NVMe storage. The M.2 slot which has been placed beneath a backplate cover is easy to access and is attached by two screws which can be easily removed. The cover also acts as a heatsink for the SSD. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPUs come with 160/165W TDPs so an 8-pin connector should be enough as it provides 150W & the rest of the power can be accessed via the PCIe slot (75W). ASUS includes the M.2 Q-LATCH, which makes it easy to install or remote the M.2 SSD on the back of the ASUS DUAL GeForce RTX 4060 Ti SSD graphics card without needing any specific tools. Two tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure. Dual ball bearings can last up to twice as long as sleeve-bearing designs.
