Lenovo has introduced its GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card in a Mini-ITX form factor. The unit will initially be available in the company’s own PCs, but as often happens with Lenovo’s graphics boards, it could eventually end up at retail.
Lenovo’s miniature GeForce RTX 4060 is a classic Mini-ITX graphics card that is 15 cm long, has a dual-slot cooling system, and one fan. The board is based on Nvidia’s AD107 graphics processor with 3072 CUDA cores enabled and carries 8GB of memory connected to the GPU using a 128-bit bus. The card has an eight-pin auxiliary PCIe power connector, but we are not sure about the configuration of the display outputs.
One notable design element is the placement of the 8-pin power connector at the rear of the card, a feature commonly seen in workstation GPUs like NVIDIA’s RTX series. This positioning improves cable management and overall tidiness. One of the advantages that Nvidia attributes to its GeForce RTX 4060 (which is already one of the best graphics cards around) is its relatively low power consumption of 115W, which enables makers of add-in-boards to build rather compact products based on this GPU.
It’s important to mention that Lenovo does not directly sell graphics cards. The only way to acquire this model is by purchasing a complete system. The RTX 4060 has been incorporated into a new gaming PC called IdeaCenter GeekPro 2023, which boasts Intel’s 13th Gen Core i3-13400F or Core i7-13700F CPUs from the Raptor Lake series, along with DDR4-3200 memory and 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSDs.
Unfortunately, not many graphics cards producers have so far released a GeForce RTX 4060 in a Mini-ITX form factor. Apparently, Lenovo is one of them. Yet, we would expect other AIB designers to follow since the Mini-ITX form factor is just what the doctor ordered for a 115W GPU.
