You should take a look at the ITX 2070 offerings. They were previously a pain to find, but I've seen a bunch of them on ebay for around 300 to 400 after the bottom fell out of the market. I've got a galax mini in my htpc and the performance for the size is really nice. If you're looking for a 1080p/1440p card, they get pretty close to what the 3060 should be.

I'm not sure if any of you watch Moores Law is dead on YT (he does video on rumors and leaks about upcoming cpu/gpu products) but he seems to think that Big Navvi will be very close to the performance of the 3000 series cards but have better efficiency.
Maybe we will get better cards for ITX from AMD this time around.

Yea I saw it, it would be nice for AMD to hold Nvidia to the fire. OTOH AMD's GPU division and power efficiency don't usually go together.
I do not have high hope.
According to some reports, performance of Big Navi will depend on how high the wattage AMD allows it to be. If it remains at 270W-ish, then it will perform between a 3080 and a 3070, as expected. Nvidia will release a 3070Ti to challenge that. If it is allowed to go up to 300W, then it will get close to a 3080's performance. But then, Big Navi's 300W is not that far from 3080's 320W. The 20W difference is not going to help out an ITX card much.
Hi, newbie here
I was looking at 3070 specs, and I'm not sure why this card should be very hot (I assume you mean comparing to 2070/super)? TDP is basically the same (215W vs 220W) and I couldn't find any other info on the subject. Could you please share your thoughts on this? Was thinking of installing one in Dan A4 (not sure about that air-through cooling system though)
The 2070 uses 188W and they did offer itx versions, the 2070 Super is 225W and the smallest was the Zotac, there were never any itx Super versions.Hi, newbie here
3090 FE has short PCB. I bet, PCB of AIB cards are also not long but rather short.Bykski has released the water block for 3090 FE, that looks sooo cool
...
but why AIB companies cannot make a card that short?
The reason of a long AIB card is not the PCB but the added length to accommodate a 3-fan design and a beefy heatsink. For a water-cooled card, the ultimate thermal transfer is still by air cooling (ie fans blowing through the rad is, in essence, the same as fans blowing thru a heatsink). You just 'relocate' the beefy air cooled heatsink from attaching onto the card to somewhere else in a case. The combined total volume of a water cooled card is similar to, or even more than, that of an air cooled card.
The unboxing!
It seems, maybe I am wrong, that the founder edition is more a 2.2 slots than a 2 slots!

the backplate looks a little thicker than normal, but the front of the shroud/fans definitely sits a mm or two below the pci-e bracket edge (assuming those are a standard size). so the distance between the pci-e connector and the front of the card falls under the 'dual slot' thickness, but the overall card thickness might be a bit fatter. that'd potentially be problematic for some sandwich layout cases.
Aaaah, yes! I've got fooled by the backplate!

3090 Needed a wide case to start with...with those inlet/outlets as they are, you need a wider case still. Yikes.
Any news on whether or not the 230/240mm pcb is the shortest we'll see in the 30xx series? Really hoping for something under 215mm (S4M limit) but if it's constrained by some design limitations I guess that's too bad.
Well, the 230mm of EKWB are with the rgb side plastic shit. If you remove it you should be at around 213mm!
Indeed, I use TPU's pic of the PCB and with known length of the PCIE card edge connector as reference, I proportion that length of that card PCB (3080) to be 188-189mm.
We have the Bykski dimension my friends, and it's fucking amazing!
Nice. I knew it wasn't very long but I was expecting it to be taller, 127mm is not bad at all.
Anyone confirme the length of the 3080 PCB from end to end? If it doesn't protrude past that Bykski waterblock you might be able to fit an additional 120mm rad in some sandwich cases, using the empty space in front of the card.
EKWB just released a picture of their water block for Founders Edition, looks very cool.
