SFF.Network MSI Announces New “SLIM” Series of GPUs That Are Still Quite Large for SFF

 
MSI has shown its SLIM series of graphics cards. The announced cards include models of the GeForce RTX 4070Ti, RTX 4070, and RTX 4060Ti GPUs, and come in both stock and overclocked form. Additionally, the triple fan coolers are available in either white or black.
All RTX 4070Ti models are 307 x 125 x 51 mm, and are rated for 285 watt TDP with a 16-pin connector.
All RTX 4070 are 307 x 125 x 46 mm, and are rated for 215 watt TDP with a 16-pin connector.
All RTX 4060Ti models are 307 x 125 x 46 mm, and are rated for 165 watt TDP with a single 8-pin connector.
From a small form factor perspective, it’s good to see a return to reduced width cards as it helps with compatibility of cases. However, these cards are still not just a simple 2-slot (42mm) width, and they are very long at 307mm. Basically put...

GPUs that would have been massive 4 years ago...are now "SLIM"

I absolutley see no point in these products.

Slim would be 2slot max for a 4070TI (Like Inno3D offers) or 7800XT/7900GRE.
Sad.

*vine boom on each incompatible case in the list*

shame, now that nvidia has normalised fat cards and AIB partners are now calling this "slim(med)". i'd say katana or bust, but realistically only the 4060 would be worth their while (another shame, remember the 1070 katana?)

What makes this a joke is that there are 4070ti's with 42mm thickness and they are just called 4070ti's. 4070 again in dual slot form but at 250mm length.
Yet MSI decides to label 46mm and even 51mm thick cards of the same class "SLIM". Oh, and they are also 307mm long, which is a lot.
These are bigger than most 2080ti's in both legth and thickness. Yet they are SLIM - according to MSI.

The Inno3d at 297mm fits in the Ghost S1, even if the 46mm is actually too wide the 307mm is too long. These are a better alternative to most 40 series for other cases but won't fit in either the Ghost or the Dan A4-SFX.

So 2-slots GPU are now SLIM .... just like "standard" height DIMMs are called Low Profile now .... today I died a little inside.

What a joke, their "slim" 4070 is larger than the FE and their own Ventus 2x.

 

[Gingerbeer]

You're all wrong. They are SLIM - the marketing says so!

Just like "Pro" means it's for professional use ! People are using it wrongly ! /s
